UPDATE: I’ve got official word from Fox. There will be NO NEW EPISODES OF FAMILY GUY until after the first of the year. I’ll have an updated schedule soon.
Oy vey. According to the official Fox schedule, December 14’s episode will be Baby Not On Board, which originally aired a whopping three weeks ago. Are they hoping we forgot it and will be surprised or something?
Then on December 21, we’re getting The Man With Two Brians. After that will be Christmas specials, so obviously no new Family Guy episodes until after January 1.
At this point, I think we …read more

I have to say that these characters untooned are just a tad creepy. Well, make that SUPER CREEPY. Family Guy shows up about halfway through; I liked the Super Mario untoons the best.

Family Guy is among the top ten comedy and drama shows favored to get Emmy nominations this year. The following shows haven’t been “officially” nominated, but they’re being released as in the running TO be nominated, in order to stave off wild rumors that went around the Interwebs last year, apparently. These shows will go on to two Blue Ribbon Panel screenings to be conducted throughout this weekend (June 28-29). The results of each panel will represent 50% percent of the vote and will be averaged together to determine the five nominees in each category. (you can read more about …read more

I love Family Guy, honestly, I do, but sometimes they go too far into the realm of “trying to be funny but it backfires because it’s REALLY NOT FUNNY.” Case in point:
The time when Peter Griffin was doing a stand-up comedy routine in a hospital full of terminally ill children.
Making fun of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Sick.
Michael J. Fox and Parkinson’s.
Quagmire finding the tied-up cheerleader in the bathroom.
However, here’s the thing: Family Guy is going to offend everyone eventually. That seems to be their main goal. So even though they do push the envelope a wee bit too …read more

Over at DeviantART, one of the best places on the Web to find really good (and really bad) amateur art, I’ve discovered a whole treasure chest of Family Guy art. Some of this is actually pretty good. Some of it….well, let’s just say that these people need to keep their day jobs.
First, Brian.
Luke Chueh vs The Family Guy by ~Luke-Chueh on deviantART
I would actually buy this one and hang it up somewhere. It’s pretty good.

There’s a great new interview with Seth MacFarlane in the Boston Herald. Here are the good bits:
On the show’s humor: “The thing that I try to do with ‘Family Guy’ is to have this balance between the classic and the edgy. We do a lot of poop jokes, but at the same time, we use a 45-piece orchestra every week with a full string section. And, you know, we don’t try to shock for shock’s sake. If something is just shocking and not funny, then we’ll cut it out. And we have these table reads every week, which we do …read more

This Pirate Chase clip is from the episode titled “Long John Peter”, Family Guy Season 6. In this clip, we see Peter Griffin and his sea dogs (literal sea dogs) battle on the high freeways with their car, a sword, a big hat and a feather, and cannons. You know, standard issue for cars these days.

If you’ve watched Family Guy or the Simpsons for any length of time, you’ll notice some pretty glaring similarities. Let’s list a few:

They’re both, uh, “big-boned.”
They both have long-suffering wives who for some reason put up with all their stuff.
Each man has three kids.
Both men have issues with their fathers.
They’ve both had a ton of very odd jobs.
Both are heavy drinkers.
Both count watching TV as their favorite thing to do.
Both have small attention spans and think of other things when their wives are talking to them.
Homer and Peter both had strokes; Peter from eating thirty hamburgers at once, Homer from …read more

From Family Guy Season 2. In this clip, Chris is sitting on the diving board too embarrassed to take his shirt off and get in the water. Instead of gently asking him what’s wrong and perhaps working through it together, Peter instead uses this moment to teach Chris a valuable boob-licking lesson. Accomplishing pretty much nothing but further humiliation for Chris. Here’s the clip:
