Family Guy Season Six is now officially available to pre-purchase. Right now, it’s retailing for $25.99, and it will be officially released on October 21, 2008. Here’s what you get on the Family Guy Season Six DVD set:

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.

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:

In an interesting and never before done move, the folks at Family Guy have put the animated show up in two different Emmy categories: the live-action, half-hour comedy category, and the animation category.
This hasn’t been done before, but they got away with it because of the Blue Harvest animated special. Basically, this would put them both in the animated category AND the live-action half-hour comedy category, according to the Emmy rules, and would put them not only against the Simpsons, but also The Office and My Name Is Earl.
My opinion? It’s too much. They could possibly grab a …read more

I’ve been diligently researching information on the new Cleveland Brown spinoff, and I’ve got some new information:

That fat kid in the screenshot? That’s Cleveland Brown Jr., redesigned. I’m thinking that they put him on meds for his ADD and he got fat? Maybe?
From ign.com: “Many years ago, Cleveland Brown (voiced by Mike Henry) was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named Donna. Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he’d …read more

Okay! Here’s the first official trailer of the Family Guy spinoff for Cleveland Brown:

The only clip I saw in there that wasn’t from Family Guy was the one of three Clevelands dancing, although that one looks familiar too. Here’s the lyrics for the song you hear Cleveland singing:
The Cleveland Show Song
“My name is Cleveland Brown
And I am proud to be
Right back in my home town
With my new family
There’s old friends and new friends
And even a bear
Through good times and bad times
It’s good times we share
And so I found a place
Where everyone will know
My happy black guy face
This is the Cleveland …read more

Here we go: the first screen capture from the new Cleveland Brown spinoff. Looks like Cleveland remarries, and gets three new kids? What happens to Cleveland Jr.? And there looks to be some zany neighbors there in the background.

I’m definitely going to give this a try, but honestly, spinoffs don’t usually fare that well. Look at how many horrific trainwrecks came out of “Friends” and “Cheers”, for example. If anyone has a chance to make this actually good, it’s Seth MacFarlane. We’ll see. What do you think?
I think the new Family Guy spinoff …read more

Tiny bits of information are starting to creep out about the new Cleveland spinoff; I know that the Family Guy writers and staff have about a month off right now, but they should be coming back for production and then I’ll have lots more details (hopefully). But right now, here’s what I’ve got:
“The Cleveland Show,” based on the popular “Family Guy,” follows the adventures of the Cleveland Brown character as he moves to Virginia to reunite with a lost love and encounters strange neighbors.
Okay, this sounds lame, but I’m confident that Seth MacFarlane can turn it into comic gold. Or …read more

This is one of the better Family Guy mashups I’ve come across; first, the Family Guy Matrix trailer:
