[edit] Plot summary length, in Season overview

Since each episode has it's own page already, the descriptions for seasons 4, 5 and 8 and a few random episodes throughout should have their summaries trimmed for consistency. (Season 'X' -Main article) Notice all other season episode summaries are a sentence or two and no more. Just an FYI to anyone willing, that is, not me. Everybody likes to feel useful. Make a da world go 'round. Back to you Tom. 174.88.20.139 (talk) 03:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

lol, nice reference...I concur on shortening though. CTJF83 chat 06:51, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Recent format changes: FL vs MoS

With all due respect to Pedro Thy Master, I think it's a question of taste as to whether it "looks better" to go with the Featured List version of this list, as opposed to the way it was before, so claiming that as a criteria for change really requires a community consensus. Beyond that, I'm not so sure the Featured List version really fits with Wikipedia's Method of Style, which calls for a consistent look throughout the project. The previous version of this list is the one most episode pages are using, and being familiar with that, that's what looks better to me. Also, the claim that it's easier? To whom? With the Featured List version, we have to edit the season page to add new episode data, then have to manually add portions of that data to the main list, as opposed to the other way which is a fully transcluded single edit to the season page to change or add any information to both. I respectfully disagree with Pedro's assessment, and believe the page should be reverted back to the way it was. KnownAlias contact 13:08, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I agree with KnownAlias completely. "Looking better" is a matter of personal opinion and, aside from leaving out specific information, this style leaves an enormous amount of white space on the page. I also believe the page should be reverted to the way it was. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 12:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
First off, I was the one who added this format to the article. Both times. I did not add it to the article because I feel it "looks better," or simply to get it to featured list status, I added it because it eliminated a lot of the unnecessary formatting that came with the previous template, most of which, since you were the one who brought up "what looks better," looked horrible on smaller screen resolutions, especially when paired with eight similar templates. There is no reason whatsoever to revert to the previous format, and making baseless claims, mostly hindered on a comment by someone uninvolved with the format, does nothing to make me want to support your viewpoint. Gage (talk) 21:59, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
To be clear this disscusion has been made before, User: Grande13 has the same opinion the artiocal was tried to change various times and he kept revrting them back to the original form, and yes Gage did make the change of format, i only reverted it as my opinion, plus when trying to edit the season articals to maybe pass an FL criteria it could create a big problem. --Pedro J. the rookie 22:45, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

In spite of initiating this topic after being reverted on this matter once (which, by the way, editors, is how you discuss changes), I refuse to be invested in the obvious turf war this has started to become. I reverted the edit ONE MORE TIME while simultaneously posting this comment, in the hopes of reigniting the conversation that some editors, only in their edit summaries, say they want to take place. The topic has been open since August 25, and apparently closed since 10 days after, which was almost two months ago. If everyone is so set on discussing this, here's a good opportunity. KnownAlias contact 20:15, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I still hate this formatting, and have since given up doing any editing on any of the Family Guy pages. Pedro thy master and GageSkidmore seem to be under the mistaken perception that they own this page and as such rule it like a couple of Nazis. But whatever, I haven't got the energy to go back and forth and back and forth with these two so if they want to format the page like this and do double the working keeping it up to date, then it's their own funeral. Why should we care? SchrutedIt08 (talk) 10:39, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] May 1st Episode

Wasn't there a new episode scheduled on May 1st? and if so why is it not listed here? TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 04:56, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
