"Seth MacFarlane has claimed that he is secretly hoping to end Family Guy soon.  The creator of the hit Fox animated series - which recently launched its tenth season - told The Hollywood Reporter that while fans are still passionate about the show, part of him feels that it ran its course several years ago.  MacFarlane explained: &amp;quot;Part of me thinks that Family Guy should have already ended. I think seven seasons is about the right lifespan for a TV series. &amp;quot;I talk to the fans and in a way I&amp;#039;m kind of secretly hoping for them to say we&amp;#039;re done with it. There are plenty of people who say the show is kind of over the hill\u2026 but still the vast majority go pale in the face when I mention the possibility.&amp;quot;  MacFarlane also expressed interest in bringing the series to the big screen following its cancellation, adding: &amp;quot;Creatively, that would be the way to do it for me. Do a really fantastic final episode while the show is still strong.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, MacFarlane announced plans to remake Carl Sagan&amp;#039;s classic &amp;#039;80s space documentary Cosmos.
