Merch News: “Family Guy” Season 17 Gets Home Release Date/Cover ; Adult Swim X Kid Robot
The Adult Swim x Kid Robot line of toys are available now and you’ve got your pick of cool shit from Robot Chicken, Rick and Morty, Mr. Pickles, and more fan favorites. Here’s everything out now:
Set to release on December 10th from 20th Century FOX is the seventeenth season of Family Guy. Included in the 3-disc set are all of the episodes from the season set at an MSRP of about $30. Here’s the synopsis:
—–Sick, twisted, and politically incorrect, the animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. 3-disc set.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
