Whether it’s the show’s multiple cancellations (yes, multiple), its unapologetic approach to skewering just about everything, its high-profile casting changes, or its brazen feuding with programs on the very same network, the story of Family Guy is anything but boring. And the series doesn’t appear to be calling it quits anytime soon.
“There was a time when I said, ‘Hey, let’s wrap it up while we’re going strong,'” MacFarlane added to the outlet. “At this point, I don’t know, I don’t see a good reason to stop. People still love it. It makes people happy, and I don’t know that there’s any reason to stop at this point unless people get sick of it. Unless the numbers show that people just are, ‘Eh, we don’t care about Family Guy anymore.’ But that hasn’t happened yet.”

So before we all head down to The Drunken Clam to celebrate 26 years of MacFarlane and Co. cracking fans up as they gasp in shock, let’s take a little trip down memory lane, shall we?
