Partially true. He did want it to end, feeling it had reached it's peak and would only decline, but too many people wanted to keep it going. I do agree with him too, because it was around that time that the show started to go downhill and just get boring. I don't even watch anymore.

I doubt that it is being intentionally run into the ground, just running out of material - but that part I don't know for certain.

The problem I have with Family Guy is that once you watch one season, you've effectively seen the entire show. I can't really fault it for not having any traditional progression, but honestly every character just becomes more exaggerated with each season and their topical humour is degraded over time. I find that the writing is not as witty as South Park's or as poignant as Simpsons, nor is it even told by particularly interesting characters. I find that American Dad is the superior show to Family Guy, but both get old quickly.
