I thought this show was awesome, did you forget Seth MacFarlane was the creator?

I really enjoyed this show. You really have to appreciate the comedy that Seth MacFarlane portrays. I am a really big family guy fan and I thought this show was really funny. Rob Corrdry is a really funny actor and to see him act on Seth MacFarlanes writing was awesome. It is sad to see people cut him down when he makes a really funny show. It is no doubt in my mind that Seth MacFarlane is a genius and anything he creates is the funniest thing I have ever heard of. I don't know if you all were sleeping when you watched this show but it was funny, a lot funnier than Seinfeld and that show lasted what, eight years? I think you all are crazy and I think this show should come back up. I was really disappointed when I found out this show was canceled.
