Seth MacFarlane has gone on the record saying that Family Guy is here to stay for as long as audiences keep enjoying it and that a feature film will eventually hit the big screen as well. But there are two people who won’t be amongst the masses going giggity at multiplexes: Patrick Warburton’s parents. The actor, who has voiced Family Guy’s Joe Swanson since the show’s first season, revealed that his mom and dad detest the show. At a PaleyFest event celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary, Warburton shared that his mother even tried to get the show canceled. 

Adult animation isn’t the only genre of media with haters, but at least its haters are human beings. Director Brian Helgeland was ready to hit the ground running with a sequel to 2001’s A Knight’s Tale, but Netflix more or less shot the concept down, stating that their algorithm indicated that it wouldn’t be successful. That said, that same algorithm has given us certified stinkers like Game Over, Man! and The Ridiculous 6. So how reliable is it really? 

In between channel surfing and scrolling through Netflix’s never-ending catalog, the timeline found time to give us a new batch of great tweets.
