I was wondering if any of the characters in FG are currently redeemable in your eyes. Do you have any sympathy for any of them or hope that one finds better ground? I say this because with every episode over the last few seasons I feel the show has been shedding of it's typical human and become rather dark. I use to watch it for it's humor and entertainment, but now it's just.. unbearable. I can't stand any of the characters anymore, the derailment has reached too far.

Honestly, the entire Griffin family as a whole (sans Meg) has become completely despicable. Peter use to simply be ignorant and stupid, but now whenever he goes through his shenanigans he actually should understand the consequences of his actions by now. Simply being 'retarded' doesn't give him an excuse to still be such an ass-wipe.
Lois is a bluh, bluh, huge bitch. What's worse is that she tries to act reasonable and conceded when compared to Peter, and she has no likable traits anymore. Chris aside from being a dumbass, is just a drama-spewing teen that isn't worth the air he breathes.
Brian is a liberal douche. And I'd be ok with that if he at least acknowledged it and didn't act all high and mighty like he's the moral brigade coming to fix the world up.
Meg is.. nothing. When you take away her punching bag status, she really has nothing, because that's all they've ever portrayed her as.
Stewie is a wildcard, he can swing either way it seems.

It's not even entertaining anymore, practically every one of them is just plain despicable. I can't even watch it anymore, it's gone far beyond the line of simple 'dead baby humor.' It's just a show about a bunch of shit-heads wrecking everything up and getting away with it.
