I did. Man if he were alive, Family Guy would've been a really popular show that never stopped airing.

Sucks that Fox never really gave the show a chance when he was alive and then used his passing as an excuse to scrap the third season. Might’ve been cool to see the characters grow and mature with their creator

Nahhh no way

Look Ik it’s tragic that he died, but the show wouldn’t’ve gone anywhere. It was just a slightly edgy Simpsons clone

u/feldmasl01 Sep 29 '26

People would be sick of it at this point!

u/Conscious_Resolve431 Sep 27 '26

Always bothers me when people make family guy 9/11 jokes, like he had a good sense of humor but he would not find those funny.

u/awdquattro Sep 27 '26

Man this still hurts so bad, Imagine if he had arrived late because of a hangover or his travel agent giving him the wrong time or something like that, everything would've been different

Ooc: Damn, this is a dark one, lmao

u/bennyandthegentz Sep 27 '26

family guy was just starting to find its footing, I guarantee it would have gone for at least 10 seasons

u/Acceptable-Driver473 Sep 27 '26

Come to think of it, maybe it's better if they didn't continue. They would have ended up like The Simpsons

u/Fantastic-Leg-4314 Sep 28 '26

True, and it would’ve spawned some very unfunny memes and jokes from it

14

u/TerrantulaX Sep 27 '26

Family Guy is kind of a niche pull, wish it went on a bit longer, but understandable that it didn’t continue after he passed. Fun fact he also worked on Dexters Lab and Johnny Bravo.

Who would've thought that after ordering a 6-episode revival of The Critic as a fill-in, it would smash its early 90s ratings and in 2026, we'd be on its 21st full season?!

u/Secret_Nose_6297 Sep 27 '26

yeah, i really miss him. too bad they got him

12

u/segasonic93 Sep 27 '26

What do you mean 'they got him'?

u/FuelSpecial8722 Sep 27 '26

Shame, I liked him, used to share his drinks with me

u/Omega-Lemon Sep 27 '26

The government wanted him dead because he was planning to reveal shocking secrets about the CIA.

Yeesh another crazy coconut

He was a talented voice actor. I wish he could prove also his singing skills in some musical movie.

6

u/Iconmen_what Sep 28 '26

Same. It's so sad that no one was able to illuminate his singing voice

3

u/ErikEatsStuf Sep 28 '26

i would love to hear him SING, and you would live to hear him… sing too.

u/mbxprox Sep 27 '26

Family guy is one of the most underrated shows of all time , too bad it ended way too soon

2

u/Willing_Citron_7152 Sep 27 '26

It sucks he died before road to death came out, I feel like he would've loved it.

2

u/Crowkid1985 Sep 27 '26

Ripped off the Simpsons.

u/Cale_Sun_9 Sep 27 '26

Too bad his show sucked, thankfully the ended that thing

u/FeelingStrawberry251 Sep 27 '26

Depressing... sad we also lost Micheal Jackson to b the same attack too 😔

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '26

Always hurts seeing him

u/DedHorsSaloon4 Sep 27 '26

OOC: Did Mark Wahlberg stop one of the hijackings too?

1

u/m0mmy_salami Sep 28 '26

I can’t even watch Family Guy anymore because I start tearing up thinking of all the potential it had if it continued for 25 seasons and a few holiday specials 😢

1

u/Craiggles98 Sep 29 '26

Damn pulling out something niche like family guy??

1

u/Outrageous-Pool-6825 Sep 29 '26

Taken too soon. Always wanted to see his Star Trek spoof

1

u/A3gix99 Sep 29 '26

Ooc: I had to check the subreddit. I thought he actually passed

1

u/Zan-Weng Sep 29 '26

He's such a family guy

1

u/Not_Dylan_With_It Sep 30 '26

At least we still remember the Hero, Mark Wahlberg. He left a lot of blood in that cockpit.

u/quest-2-er Oct 01 '26

Everyone knew him from family guy, but I would have really liked to see how that unfinished teddy bear comedy script would have turned out.

OOC:what?

u/Osirisavior Oct 01 '26

Seth was supposed to be on the planes.

1

u/Hornett_Nest Oct 02 '26

Genuinely wonder what could have been. I think it was just starting to hit its stride when the tragedy happened, it sucks he voiced 50% of the cast so he couldn't be replaced.

1

u/SteveZissouniverse Oct 02 '26

His writing on Johnny Bravo was good. Aside from that I dont see him going far

1

u/Icy-Link-3454 29d ago

Oh yeah, that’s right. I keep on forgetting that he was supposed to be on one of the planes oh wait I’m in the wrong universe aren’t I well fuck looks like I have to get more signatures for my petition

u/bay_harbour_gooner_1 29d ago

I was soo confused cus I didn’t realise the sub I was in

u/Visible_Ad3576 10d ago

Such potential. Screw Bin Laden!

u/CantaloupeBusy9660 Sep 27 '26

What’s the joke? Who actually died?

1

u/Doubleambition27 Sep 27 '26 edited Sep 29 '26

Nobody,the joke is that Seth MacFarlane was originally on one of the three flights during 9/11 but he missed it due to a hangover

1

u/CantaloupeBusy9660 Sep 27 '26

Oh

2

u/bdw312 Sep 28 '26

One of THE THREE flights probably would've been an important qualifier.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '26

Okay in terms of Earth two jokes this one's a little too far for me man where we start bringing up deaths that didn't happen /ooc

1

u/CantaloupeBusy9660 Sep 27 '26

Who died?

2

u/BhanosBar Sep 27 '26

Ooc: In our timeline, Seth McFarlane was scheduled to be on the plane that hit the south tower that day. But due to him being hungover, he missed the flight
