Network Execs Greenlighting Family Guy Clones Meme

Network execs look at this image every time they green light another Family Guy clone

This meme uses the widely circulated 'miner giving up before reaching diamonds' template. It shows two separate miners digging in a cave, both stopping their work and turning away mere inches away from a huge, valuable vein of blue diamonds. The text above the image reads 'Network execs look at this image every time they green light another Family Guy clone'. The satirical joke critiques television network executives for repeatedly approving derivative, unoriginal animated shows that copy the successful formula of Family Guy, rather than investing in original creative projects that could be far more successful (represented by the unseen diamonds just out of the miners' reach), as they choose to rely on familiar, low-risk content that they believe will turn a reliable profit.

This meme is a remix of the classic 'miner quitting before diamonds' exploitable meme template. It was originally shared on Reddit's meme communities, with the original post title 'Trust me guys, this is gonna be the one we can milk for 30 years!'. The image was edited using the Mematic mobile meme creation app, as indicated by the watermark in the bottom left corner of the image.
