Cool! Fox has just released the first images from the upcoming and wildly controversial Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show coming to us this weekend, November 8. Here we go:

Yes, it’s true – Seth MacFarlane has signed a deal with Microsoft to promote Windows 7 in a live action/comedy special due to air in November with fellow FG alumni Alex Borstein.
The show is titled “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show,”, and will have no commercials, but they will weave in Windows 7 promo spots that are supposed to “blend seamlessly with show content”, which I’m guessing will be funny gags of various Family Guy characters trying out the new Microsoft operating system.
The Family Guy/Microsoft duo isn’t stopping there, though. They’re also embarking on …read more

This is actually from May, but I don’t think it’s been posted. Highlights: Seth got an angry phone call from Ellen Cleghorne for a joke, his old school principal tried to get Family Guy off the air, he wants to open up a coffee shop when he grows up (yeah right), he goes over his 9/11 story, how FG is NOT vanilla, he wants to offend everyone so nobody feels left out, religious figures are the ones most offended (which motivates him to do more), the “Freakin Sweet” show with Alex Borstein, and a bit of inane chatter. Watch:

These aren’t strictly Family Guy clips here, but they’re pretty dang funny (and gross – trust me). Anyway, here are two new clips that you might not have seen yet.

In an interview with FoxSource, Seth MacFarlane gives us a hint that someone, we don’t know how or who, is going to kick the bucket. He also talks about Eliza Dushku possibly guest-starring. Watch:

Dark horse Family Guy lost out to “30 Rock” in the 2009 Emmy race. Here’s a video of Seth MacFarlane at the Emmy’s:
NBC’s 30 Rock won the category for the third year in a row, beating out a seven-show field of contenders for the honor. The other nominees were Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, How I Met Your Mother, The Office and Weeds.

Okay, this is just too awesome: here’s Seth MacFarlane performing the hit song “Singin’ in the Rain” from the musical of the same name. You might notice as soon as the music from the John Wilson Orchestra starts up, a few of the “promenaders” near the stage open up umbrellas and twirl them around much to the amusement of some orchestra members at the front and a few of the Maida Vale Singers at the back. This performance was in A Celebration of Classic MGM Film Musicals which was part of BBC Proms 2009 broadcast live from the Royal Albert …read more

Yes – it’s coming, and it probably will be in the next couple of years. Here’s what Seth Macfarlane had to say about the ending of Family Guy:
“I don’t want to go 20 years like The Simpsons,” MacFarlane told Sun Media. “Ideally we would go another couple of years and then wrap it up. That would be my perfect scenario.
“I mean, I can already see it coming. I can already see the … we’re in season eight, and it gets harder, it gets harder and harder to do new stuff. I mean, every show starts to suck after a certain …read more

Here’s a great exclusive video of Seth MacFarlane at Comic-Con 2009; he talks about “The Cleveland Show” and what he wants for the show:

Here’s Seth MacFarlane’s thoughts on the Emmy nomination of Family Guy, nominated twice since 2001 for animated program, plus once for an hourlong episode, and has never won:
“It’s surprising that we hadn’t been able to get a nomination in the animation category the last several years, yet in the comedy category we had success…..”It’s more of a function of the landscape of television comedy changing overall. You now have five or six animated prime-time shows as of this fall. At some point, they’re just too influential, too much a part of pop culture” to exclude them. “I don’t think [voters] …read more
