Less gory violence

No more vomiting gags (the ipecac joke should have been the end of that; it was gross yet funny, but that should have been it)

No more telling jokes, then having a character EXPLAIN the joke. It weakens the punchline and insults the viewer's intelligence.

Less "name that reference" and more jokes, please.

Weird is the new normal.

But also we need more controversial topics about the latest trends.

Disagree.

Family Guy was greatest when it was about Peter being... a Family Guy!

Lando Griffin? Killing Lois in the Schoolboard Election? Y2K?

I know but the show needs a serious update if they want to continue to 20 seasons like the simpsons and South Park.

Seth's always been about Liberal views and pushing those agendas. (The 420 episode? Several states have legalized marijuana).

You could argue that the vaccination one is even like that.

True but It needs to be more sophisticated and topical to stay more relevant.

The vaccination one was pretty sophisticated and topical though.

There have been a few episodes where Family Guy has pushed the importance of modern medicine in civilized society.
