Family Guy one of the most downloaded torrents on the Web

One of my favorite sites on the Web, TorrentFreak, has released a great list of the most downloaded shows this past week, and Family Guy was third on the list. This is pretty much standard for our favorite Quahog family as far as torrents go. Which begs the question: have you downloaded a Family Guy torrent? (votes are completely anonymous):

What did you think of “Three Kings”?

Wendy Boswell — Wed, 13 May 2009 09:51:16 +0000

“Three Kings” aired this Sunday, and it was pretty good! The episode was divided into three parts and they were VERY loosely based on “Stand by Me”,” Misery” and “The Shawshank Redemption.” Richard Dreyfuss narrates, and he was great. Here’s a short synopsis:

After Peter discovers the writing of Stephen King, he imagines his family and friends in three of King’s most famous works.

Here’s the episode if you missed it:

What are your favorite Meg Griffin moments?

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 09:39:35 +0000

Meg Griffin, the awkward, picked-on daughter of the Griffin family, is one of my favorite characters. She doesn’t get a lot of screen time, but what she does get is golden. Here are a few of my favorite Meg Griffin moments – feel free to chime in with your own in the comments.

New Brian listens to Meg’s concerns about her nipple size:

Meg fails her driving test after she races a cop on Peter’s advice:

Peter beats up a girl after she insults Meg:

Peter teaches Meg to race cars you make eye contact with at a red light:

Official episode description for April 26’s “Stew-Roids”

Wendy Boswell — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:38:41 +0000

Here’s the official episode description for April 26’s NEW Family Guy episode titled “Stew-Roids”:

After Stewie gets his baby butt kicked by Joe’s infant daughter, he starts hitting the gym with Peter. It seems like all of Stewie’s hard work is paying off until Peter drops a bombshell when he reveals just how Stewie got those six-pack abs. Meanwhile, Chris starts to date a popular girl at school and quickly realizes that popularity is like physics – as in what goes up must come down.

Yes! I love episodes where they focus on Chris Griffin, one of my favorite episodes of all time is the one with the talking zit (Doug the Talking Pimple). Here are a few of the funniest Chris moments.

First, Principal Shepard decides to increase the school’s test scores by kicking Chris Griffin out of school.

The family notices that the history text that Chris is using is ridiculously out of date.

And last, Chris takes Anna out for Italian Food and asks if she’s ever had sex with a dog.

Is Anne Hathaway going to be on an episode of Family Guy?

Wendy Boswell — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 09:20:17 +0000

Anne Hathaway, who has already mentioned that she’s a big fan of Family Guy, is rumored to be guest-starring on an episode of FG sometime in the near future (probably not this season, but next season? maybe?).

According to Life and Style, Hathaway recently visited Fox Studios in LA to tape a surprise cameo for an upcoming episode. She’s an excellent comedic actress, so I’m guessing this one will be good.

Family Guy wins court battle over “I Need a Jew”

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:01:35 +0000

The court case over the controversy surrounding the song I Need a Jew has been settled, with Family Guy coming out the winner.

The judge ruled that the song was not in violation of copying “When You Wish Upon a Star”, and in fact that the parody was just fine:

“It is precisely that beneficial association that opens the song up for ridicule by parodists seeking to take the wind out of such lofty, magical, or pure associations,” she said.

Okay! So here’s the song:
