I'm really sad about Brian. Brian/ Stewie episodes once had me think Family Guy is one of the best comedy shows. But that was long, long ago.
But Roger, I always hated him. Not only was he toxic towards his family, he later became downright edgy and fell into early Stewie mode, except actively trying to kill family members. Why would someone like this character? Compared to the Griffins, I actually like the Smiths, so he sticks out like some asshole from Family Guy who accidently stumbled into American Dad.

I disagree since they don't build conflict, and if they do, you don't have empathy.
And Lisa Simpson just has the same conflicts except lazier written.
It's really stupid to blame us, the viewers, for shows trying to generate conflict after 10 seasons. If you can't make up shit, end the show.
Wanna know how to fucking create conflict in those shows? I tell you.
Family Guy (thats a hard one to save)
>introduce new recurring characters which aren't just stereotypes and/ or retards, like e.g. a girlfriend for Chris
>make Meg an actual character with an arc over a whole season, like moving out or something. She's the only one with zero development, same with Lois.
>make Lois and Peter break up, like the Simpsons did a crapload of times, introduce new partners, then how they realized they don't get along with them. But since all characters are assholes in this show, it wouldn't be capable of handling it without stupid jokes and ignorance.
Simpsons
>cancel the show
>make a new show where all characters are older, or even better, a whole series out of the what-if future episodes.
