How long?

The new season has begun, but they keep showing reruns every so often instead of new ones. I have no idea how long it's supposed to run though.

It's not a drama! It's not run on the SOAP channel, so no they are NOT going to throw in a new main character! It's Baseball Season so all of our shows are being interrupted for the time being, it happens every year where have you been? The new episodes will return towards the end if Nov. and you'll be glad you waited!

That might mix things up a little, but I doubt they'll add another main character or replace one, for quite some time, if ever at all. Think about the Simpsons. They've got like a million characters, but not a whole whole lot of main ones, mostly cameos and minor appearances by others. It's also been around forever though, so they've had a lot of time to build up quite a stable of secondary characters.

Not that Simpsons and Family Guy are all that similar (aside from the whole, idiot dad and disfunctional family theme) in humor or content, but the structure is pretty close, and if you look at how long Simpsons has been around, Family Guy is likely to follow suit. Heck, even South Park, who is pretty unconventional for a cartoon, even crazier than Family Guy, hasn't had any real major revisions other than a short amount of time without Kenny and the whole Mr/Mrs Garrison thing. Oh yeah, Chef too, but I heard that it was because the voice actor quit or something.

I dont think the series is going to throw in any new characters, mainly because I think it's ending soon. I dont know, with the whole Stewie finally killing Lois bit, I think the series is finally coming to a hault. A new character would be wonderful though, i'm not sure who it would be, or how they would fit'em in, but yeah. If they can pull it off, I'd love to see that.

i love family guy to but they wont take that long on tv
