I hope you wouldn't be one of those whiner types who'd complain to HR and get it no longer shown and ruin it for everyone.

(Highly doubt that'll happen here thankfully.)

It's playing via a connected computer, playing DVDs and downloaded episodes. So you can only do something like that if you have access to the computer which is not in the break room. Not possible!

The break room where I work has this thing called a remote that lets you change the channel just by pushing a button. 

OK but mine doesn't. And leaving a remote out for the TV is just asking for it to be lost within a week in a public place like that.

...

Look, it should be pretty obvious that letting employees manage the TV themselves is just asking for it to have the connection lost without knowing how to get it put back up. This way only HR can change it, which prevents that from occuring.

This is purely anecdotal, but I find it interesting the people at my work who are most fond of Family Guy besides me seem to be Hmong women. Like they'll crowd around the TV when it's playing and laugh hysterically while having side conversations in Hmong. Even despite, well probably in part because of the Asian stereotype jokes. Although to be fair this sort of thing isn't all that uncommon, it's really only extreme Tumblr types who assume that anyone who's a member of a minority group must be very offended and couldn't possibly like anything that makes jokes playing off stereotypes of that group.
