A couple of years back, I pitched my concept for a "Family Guy" spinoff focusing exclusively on Meg [link] . It certainly has its supporters, but I've kinda grown tired of the idea in recent years - the more I look at Meg, the less she seems able to carry her own show.
On the contrary, I now think Hayley from "American Dad" would be a much better candidate for something like this. Like Meg, she's frequently ignored by her current writing staff - but unlike Meg, it's not because she lacks the personality to do anything interesting. We know who she is, what she wants, what she believes, and how she lives and interacts with others. With her strong will, creative spirit, and fiery personality, there's still tons of stuff a girl like her could do...but as long as she's on the same show as Stan and Steve and Roger, she's not going to get to do any of it. And being married to Jeff doesn't help either - their relationship was much funnier when she kept dumping him every other week.
So the way I see it, Hayley realizes she made a huge mistake in getting married at 18 years old and sets off on her own, going off to a genuine four-year college to redefine her life. I still need to think up some new characters for her to interact with, but at least I've got a start here.
I really think that is am great idea, and I hope if you don't mind, I came up with a similiar idea for a spin off for Hayey, but my idea is more different. I plan to work on it, but Eventually I will. Really good idea! Hope to see more soon!

That's a pretty interesting idea for a show. How about a show where both Meg and Hayley are roommates and go to the same school and stuff? Like a mixture of both ideas you have?

I would support this...but it would just be American Dad, but from a liberal perspective. I mean, Hayely is just Stan, but a stereotypical Liberal, rather than a stereotypical conservative.

Well, I won't argue with you on the idea about Meg, and how she should get a spin-off, let's move past this okay?
Now then, last season of American Dad, there was a big story about how Hayley dropped out off college to run off with Jeff Fisher and get married to him. Episodes later in, "There Will Be Bad Blood", where Stan and his family have Thanksgiving at his half-brother's home, only to get kicked out after attempting to steal his house because he's rich, then after wondering in the desert for hours, the Smiths reunite with Hayley. But after this, Hayley doesn't appear as often on the show anymore, probably because Jeff and her are still working on there relationship (but then again this is just my guess). So I have no abjection with Hayley getting her own show, even if she doesn't get much screen time as of late.
Once again, great job on this, your artwork on Macfarlane characters is awsome.
