Esspecially Since Seth MacFarlane has won the rights to reboot the show (according to Deadline). Now as much as their is fear for MacFarlane's raunchy comedic styling I have no problem with this. If there is one thing for sure MacFarlane has a enormous respect for the source material.
MacFarlane has been quoted in the Toronto Sun as saying:
"My philosophy is if it's something that can potentially ruin the show forever, then it's probably something we should try," MacFarlane said. "That has served us fairly well as (Family Guy) has aged.
"At the end of the day, what's the worst that could happen? Shows live and die all the time. Better to go out taking some risks than to rest on your laurels and fall into lazy patterns."
Either way I don’t see much upside to this news. Either MacFarlane will make it raunchy (and probably pretty entertaining) this time around, ruining the show’s legacy, or he will play it straight and give us an unfunny, dated cartoon, which everyone will have deemed unnecessary. I’m hoping for the former, but mostly I’m just hoping this doesn’t happen.
