TV.com have included Family Guy‘s Meg in its Top 10: Characters that need to be killed off list. Here’s TV.com’s anonymous critic’s reasoning:
“Meg’s story lines are boring, her voice is annoying, and do you remember the episode with the shower scene that involved, ‘flossing’? Yuck. Meg is by far the least funny character on Family Guy and ought to start a support group for similar, un-funny characters like Lisa Simpson, Jonathan Bower (Who’s the Boss?) and Tim Meadows. I suppose every surreal comedy show needs a somewhat ‘normal’ character to offset the craziness, but then again, she’s still not funny, so I vote she be fed to giant Iranian goat-eating cockroaches.”
Meg comes in at number 4, with Scrub‘s John “J.D.” Dorian character played by Zach Braff coming in at number 1!

When I read this all I could do was let out a long weary sigh.
I Love Meg.

I would somewhat agree that she may get the thin end of the scripts…but so long as I can picture Mila Kunis reading said scripts, she has to stay.

Sour grapes from TV.com. They got a C&D order from Fox Legal for hosting episodes. Up theirs. :P

@Buckimion, when did that happen? I thought TV.com just lost episodes of Family Guy after Hulu.com stopped providing other sites with streamed videos.

They not only lost the feed, but Fox told them they had to quit showing episodes period when they went with plugging Hulu as their ‘Official’ channel. Only Fox, Hulu, Adult Swim and TBS are currently authorised to host clips for the US market. Youtube is a forbidden word at Fox. :)

No I’m begging you please don’t you dare even think about killing off Meg out of Family Guy as she’s my most favourite character from Family Guy. I’d like her to just continue appearing as a character in Family Guy. Please you can’t kill Meg off you can’t do that. Please

Leave Meg alone!! She had some good stories. Stewroids, Not All Dogs Go to Heaven Lets’ Go To the Hop. They are not going to kill off any of the main characters. If I was in charge it should be Chris.

I agree that she’s had some good stories (none of which are boring at all), and I happen to like her voice! I don’t find her voice annoying at all! Meg’s kinda funny, and the least funny character on Family Guy is actually Connie D’Amico! Meg shouldn’t even start such a said support group! So I vote that Meg Griffin stays and whoever added her to the Top 10 Characters That Need To Be Killed Off list and said that she should be killed off gets fed to giant Iranian goat-eating cockroaches!

Wow! Meg is one of my favorite characters! I love Meg! She will never be killed off, all of her episodes rock and as said above, they are not boring at all! I love her episodes! In fact, “Peter’s Daughter” and “Barely Legal” are two of my favorite episodes and as also said above, I like Meg’s voice! Meg is an awesome character and will not be killed off. Meg rocks!

Well I for one love Family Guy. I think she is important to the show. If she wasn’t there who would they be able to pick on and thinqs like that. So she is somewhat important but not that important. Killinq off Meq would be hiqhly stupid. That would be a stupid idea. So I would have to qive that two thumbs down sorry.

This is the reason why the new FG episodes are dead to me. I love Meg. She should not get killed off. I don’t care what they say. She shouldn’t be #4 on the list! Why, TV.com, WHY?!?
