Family Guy
 

I just got the first 2 seasons on DVD, and man, I wish this show wasn't cancelled. It was funny as hell.

Oh, no kidding, it's absolutely hilarious! At least there are re-runs on cable, though (forget which channel - Cartoon Network, maybe?).

I agree... the show has amazing writing. I have a bunch of the episodes downloaded.

An extremely funny show - one of my favorites, I really wish they hadn't canned it.

The DVD set is now on my wish list.

I watch it! It's on the Cartoon Network at 11:30 PM EST. And my bro has the first two seasons on DVD (and I want to steal it!) I have heard that the next DVD comes out in Sept.

The cartoonist went to RISD! (down the street from my school!) There are tons of inside jokes about Rhode Island on the show...it was too funny to be cancelled.

Fox never gave that show a chance I bet had they put it on Sunday after the Simpsons it'd still be on.

I LOVE THE FAMILY GUY!!!!! Its such a funny show. My friends and I get together and watch the DVD's. They get by with a lot of racy jokes.

This is my absolute favorite show! Stewie is hysterical - what is funnier than a homicidal baby who is still holding his 9-months in the ovarian gulag against his mother?!? Poor Lois has no idea that her sweet baby is plotting her death, and his inevitable takeover of the world. Gotta love it!

i heard they might make a family guy movie...this snippet of info was on my friend's website, www.johnnytricks.com, and he listed his source as www.chud.com.

'Family Guy' to Return
After being yanked from Fox 'Family Guy' may continue to live, just on on the tube. The cartoon sitcom is in talks to make it to Hollywood. Creator Seth McFarland mentions, "It's certainly some vindication and a sign that the show is as popular as we always suspected. Fox certainly gave the show more of a chance than a lot of shows would've gotten, and we're indebted to Gail [Berman, Fox Entertainment Chief] for the fact that we even got a third season. But it's also frustrating for everyone who worked on the show. We all felt it was killed before its time."

i LOVE the family guy, too! adult swim on cartoon network is great, especially on sunday nights. i don't really watch the anime stuff, but futurama, sealab 2021, mission hill, home movies....yay.

I love that show!!

And the references to RI always give me a laugh. Not many folks down here know what a "Quahog" is.

Great show - some of the best writing on TV.

Boy is planning on getting the the DVD set

it's on "adult swim" on cartoon network. over here it's on at 11:30. i was watching it with some of my friends last night for the first time in ages. that was funny isht

Quahog:
An edible clam (Venus mercenaria) of the Atlantic coast of North America, having a hard rounded shell. Also called hard-shell clam, round clam.

I love that show too - I often watch reruns on Teletoon and my brother just bought the first couple of seasons on DVD.

I think the funniest t.v. moment of all time was when Norm Macdonald played death on the family guy.
(reminiscing his teenage days)

"(car rocking) oh sandy...oh sandy...(car stops)
dammnit, not again. I'm gonna be a virgin forever...
or will I (car starts rocking again)..."

Family Guy is my favorite show of all time! I love the 'Petoria' episode. I got the DVD...good stuff.

Just wanted to mention that the 2nd edition has been out for a couple weeks, and they're funny as hell too. The lost episode was hilarious, but I can see why it never made it to air....even though the episode where Peter finds out he's black is kinda reaching it.

That would have been the perfect time slot. That show is hella funny.

**FeeFee reminds herself to watch it on Adult Swim***

We just picked up the second set, though we've only made it through the first two episodes so far.

What is this 'lost episode' you speak of?

They used to show it on TBS at 2:30, then it was moved up to 2pm and now they don't show it anymore. But I can watch back to back episodes of The Cosby Show :rolleyes:

Why must they ruin a good thing.

Last episode of Disc 3. Peter wants to convert Chris to Judaism cause he think it will automatically make him smart/goodlooking/rich. It never aired except Cartoon Netwok showed it a couple weeks back.

that one sucked! Wasn't even funny....now the penis episode, oh man funniest shit of all time....

The lost episode was HILARIOUS!!! Handsome cream, hahaha :)

Oh and the Jewish song he sings - too funny!!

no way, watch the nudist episode for laughs...
'holy moly, it must be my birthday' LOL

I thought that show was funny! I love that baby and the dog! Why did they cancel it? I don't understand!

If you don't have sponsors, your show will not survive no matter how big the fan base is and how high the ratings are. Ask WCW.

Hence.....the show was so offensive sponsors backed out.

Lois: "Phew, we're going out. I don't have to cook."

Peter: "No, cook anyway, we'll throw it out. Don't want you to get rusty"

Most of the non-assholes that I have dated loved Family Guy!

How many a$$holes have you dated?:D

Sweeeeetttt!!!

"Family Guy" Reunion in the Works

by Lia Haberman
Nov 19, 2003, 1:30 PM PT

Victory may still be Stewie's.

The pint-sized tot with plans of world domination could return to Fox as the network considers resurrecting its animated comedy Family Guy.

Truth be told, strong DVD sales and not Stewie's heavily accented scheming are reportedly behind the move to reinstate the cartoon 18 months after it was yanked from the airwaves.

At this time, production of the dysfunctional family cartoon is "under discussion" according to a Fox spokesperson.

Calls to creator Seth MacFarlane's rep were not returned.

As many as 35 new episodes could premiere in January 2005, according to the Fox spokesperson, which would mark the first time a canceled series has been revived on the strength of its DVD sales and syndication ratings.

Fox head honcho Sandy Grushow told USA Today the series was a late-blooming phenomenon that may have aired before its time.

DVD and cable viewers have "created a kind of groundswell that could lead to better ratings," said Grushow.

Indeed, despite being canceled after only three season, Family Guy is this year's top-selling TV title and the fourth best TV series seller ever, according to Video Store magazine.

A DVD set released in April of the show's first 28 episodes has sold close to 1 million copies while a second collection of 22 episodes has already passed the 500,000 mark. Reruns of the show also rank number one among adult viewers on Cartoon Network.

Family Guy premiered to 22 million viewers on Super Bowl Sunday in 1999 and high praise from critics ("gloriously twisted" said TV Guide). Created by then 24-year-old MacFarlane, the show revolved around the dysfunctional Griffin family of Quahog, Rhode Island, including talking toddler Stewie who vowed revenge for being incarcerated in his mother's "cursed ovarian Bastille" for nine months.

MacFarlane had his stamp all over the Emmy-winning series, lending his voice to the roles of patriarch Peter Griffin, son Stewie and family dog Brian, while Seth Green and Mila Kunis played sibs Chris and Meg Griffin, respectively.

However, the series had difficulty maintaining its following as Fox bounced the show all over its schedule. The series was also the target of an advertiser boycott instigated by MacFarlane's former prep school headmaster, the Reverend Richardson Schell.

Schell convinced several advertisers to abandon the 'toon due to its alleged anti-Semitic, racist and sexist content after MacFarlane refused a request to change the cartoon family's surname. Griffin was the same last name as that of Schell's assistant, Elaine Griffin.

More than 125,000 fans fired back with their own online petition announcing their intention to boycott the network and its advertisers if the series was canceled, all to no avail.

Now, the last laugh may be MacFarlane's. Not only is the network considering reviving the sassy series, but earlier this year he revealed that a direct-to-DVD project featuring the animated Griffin family could be in the works for next year.

That is AWESOME news!!

I hope they revive it, i've got both of the DVD sets and they freakin' rock!!

:D :D :D

BUMP

Oh yes, it's official, new episodes in 05!

I hope the quality is the same. No new plot devices, and no new editions to the cartoon staff that would show ANY type of change to the current "format".

I would just like to say this show rules over the last, I dunno, four seasons of the Simpsons. They're seriously running out of ideas.

I love the show! I admit that I only saw a few episodes while the show was still on Fox. When it aired on Cartoon Network, I think I watched it almost every night over the summer. My sister got the DVD as a birthday present last month so I watched a few of the episodes while I was home last week.

THIS SHOW ROCKS! My friends and I watch it so much that we can quote entire episodes.

(Yes, I'm a geek!)

YAY FOR NEW EPS!

I love the show as well. Have all the dvd's. I can remember when the first aired. Good stuff.

I like this site because the always seem to have the newest family guy news and other fun stuff.

I"m so excited! I had no clue!!!! I want most of the voices to be the same though - this is very exciting!!!!! :D

Score! :D I heart The Family Guy!

I finally listened to the commentaries on the episodes. They are actually funnier than other ones, since Seth does the voices during them.

Oh yeah......and Seth Green packed a bubbler (It sounded too small to be a bong) during the commentary

New Season - May 1st
