Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Family Guy star Patrick Warburton recalls his mother trying to get the series cancelled, despite his prominent role in the animated comedy. Warburton has portrayed paraplegic police officer Joe Swanson on the show since season 1, originally appearing in a recurring role before becoming a series regular in season 4.
My mother belonged to the American Television Council and they were trying to get the show canceled. I was helping support my parents with Family Guy money. She tried to get me to sign the petition . I said, 'Mom, if you don't think I'm going to talk about this publicly, this is the greatest irony. You're laundering money, you're laundering it to yourself.' They hate it more today.
One key reason the series is still going is due to the talent of the creative team behind the series. This includes Seth MacFarlane, the series creator who voices Peter, Brian, and Stewie Griffin, as well as the episodes having simple premises lending themselves to topical cutaway gags. The characters are also memorable, with Peter becoming such a pop culture staple that he was later added to the video game Fortnite, partially due to the online popularity of the series.
