Has Family guy gone overboard with The Gross out Humor?

I have to admit I really liked this show, the first handful of seasons. Seasons 1-4 are a riot, I recently saw a few of the newer seasons. The gross out humor is not funny, its well... gross. The show IMO is getting sloppy or has totally jumped the shark. The Killing Brian The dog off thing was just wrong. thoughts?
