Nihilistic animated antics of the grousing Griffins, including dad Peter, who's stupid, lazy and nasty; mom Lois, who's none of the above; teenagers Meg and Chris; sassy baby Stewie, who's wise (and a wise guy) beyond his year; and family dog Brian, the smartest of the lot. Series creator Seth MacFarlane voices many of the regular characters, as well as a variety of guest characters. Fox canceled the show in 2002, then resurrected it in 2005 after it became a top-selling DVD.

Emmy Gets Our Hopes Up Again | Roush Dispatch | 6/27/2008
At least now we know which shows don't have the proverbial snowball's chance in Hollywood of getting best-series nomination. Underdogs like Battlestar Galactica, Breaking Bad and The Shield (to name the top drama snubs from my own cheat sheet) and How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The Big Bang Theory (three superior CBS comedies passed over for Two and a Half Men, again) as well as Desperate Housewives (whose creative comeback failed to sway the Emmy nominators) and... read more

On Family Guy, Father Knows Less | TV Show Previews | 5/2/2008
The Griffins wrap Season 6 Sunday night, but unlike this year's stellar Star Wars spoof or the "Stewie Kills Lois" two-parter, creator Seth MacFarlane says the episode "is more of a traditional Family Guy…if there can be such a thing."Well, perhaps if Peter terrorizing Quahog is your idea of traditional. "He hits it off with a parrot at the vet [and] decides to walk around with it on his shoulder for a while," laughs MacFarlane. Convinced that he’d make a good pirate, "Peter then gets... read more
More Studios Support Digital Copy: PCs, iPods/Macs, even PSPs! | DVD News and Reviews | 4/29/2008
A few months ago we took a hands-on look at Digital Copy with Family Guy - Blue Harvest. The show's Star Wars parody came to DVD with an extra disc containing a digital file version of the feature which easily copied to a Video iPod, a PC, or a PC-file compatible device (like an Archos media player). It's a handy way to get a "portable" copy of the DVD you've bought, so you don't have to buy it all over again via download to the hard drive of your laptop or a portable video device. But what... read more
Peter Griffin Takes It off for Disney | Today's Top Videos | 3/4/2008
Today’s Video Break: Family GuyEpisode Title: “Movin’ Out (Brian’s Song)”Season: 6Year: 2007Why we love this episode: All Family Guy episodes have their share of moments, but the opening scene of this one is a classic. Not only do we love the Valerie Bertinelli Lifetime movie bit in the first few seconds, but it doesn’t get much better than Peter’s reaction when Brian’s idiotic girlfriend (voiced by Drew Barrymore) invites him to Disney on Ice. Pants off,... read more
CBS Wants to Buy a Millionaire | Today's News: Our Take | 3/4/2008
Don't fear, CBS hasn't decided to bring over Who Wants to Be a Millionaire from ABC, but instead has picked up a new comedy pilot called Single White Millionaire, from writer Ricky Blitt. This is Family Guy alum Blitt's second attempt at a comedy, the first being a short-lived sitcom called The Winner, which starred Rob Corddry and was developed with Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane. SWM is about a millionaire who is ready to get serious and settle down, which I'm sure will not go as well as he had... read more
Fox Developing a Family Guy Spin-off | Today's News: Our Take | 2/29/2008
It looks like Fox just can't get enough of Seth MacFarlane.According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox and 20th Century Fox TV are working with MacFarlane to develop a spin-off from his wildly popular series Family Guy. The show would feature Cleveland Brown, Family Guy's mild-mannered voice of caution, in a series tentatively titled Cleveland. The project is being written by MacFarlane, Mike Henry (who voices Cleveland) and Rich Appel, executive producer of MacFarlane's other Fox series, American... read more
Hands-On with Digital Copy | DVD News and Reviews | 1/25/2008
Last week, during the MacWorld event, Fox and Apple announced iTunes Digital Copy. The first release to utilize this technology was Family Guy: Digital Harvest, which I received the other day. Many people have questions about how the Digital Copy works, so I'd like to walk you through my experience with it.The "Blue Harvest" release is a two-disc set, with the second disc devoted to the digital copy. I inserted the DVD-ROM into my Mac laptop and a window popped up with a single icon.... read more
The Joy of Sets: May the Force Be with Family Guy! | DVD News and Reviews | 1/17/2008
I feel like I should be ashamed to admit this, but I freakin' love Family Guy. Oh. My. God. What is wrong with those people?! They get away with more jaw-on-the-floor "did they really just say that?" shizz than any cartoon and every live-action network series that I can recall, and yet, every time — every time, people! — I'm stunned. While not laughing me arse off, of course.My theory is that Guy flies, much like the Millennium Falcon, under the radar. Fox doesn't promote it too much,... read more

Let Us Give Thanks For Bones, Family Guy and Veronica Mars | The Joy of Sets | 11/21/2007
I know last week I said this column would be all about The O.C., but seeing how so many of us are off for the rest of the week, I figured, let’s hold that ‘til next week when we’re all back at work and trolling the web. Instead, I offer you one last pre-Thanksgiving batch of shows on DVD you can’t help but be grateful for.Veronica Mars All three seasons, all wondrous in their own way and all the Kristen Bell you need to know that the woman is a star. The only downside is the... read more
Strike Talk: Seth MacFarlane's Family Feud, and More | Today's News: Our Take | 11/14/2007
If Fox goes ahead and airs a new Family Guy this Sunday without creator Seth MacFarlane's seal of approval, although the net is within its rights to do so, Seth says it will be "a colossal d--k move" and "damaging to our relationship".... In a curious show of support for strikers, Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin handed out adult-film DVDs at a rally in L.A., the New York Post reports. Thankfully, he wasn't actually in the videos.... NBC is bailing on the Television Critics Association's... read more

The DVR Has Spoken: Survivor Is Most-recorded Show | Today's News: Our Take | 10/9/2007
This report was kinda cool until I saw that it's for the week of Sept. 17, aka the one preceding the true onslaught of the fall season. But I already started typing up this blurb and came up with that boss headline, so here goes: For the week of Sept. 17, Survivor: China was the most-DVR'd program, with 2.17 million people recording the show for later playback. Rounding out the top five were the premieres of Family Guy (1.8 mil), Prison Break (1.55 mil) and Back to You (1.46 mil), and a Grey's... read more

Ask Matt | 9/28/2007
What did you think of the hour-long Star Wars-themed episode of Family Guy? I thought it was absolutely hilarious, and one of the best parodies I have seen in a long time. I know everyone is waiting for all the live-action comedy premeries this week, but don't you think that the best comedy period is Fox's Sunday-night animated shows? You may think that Family Guy can get crude and nonsensical from time to time, but you must admit that it's hysterical. Especially since I know you get all the... read more
Ratings: Viewers Say, "Um, Not Yet" to CW Now | Today's News: Our Take | 9/24/2007

Family Guy 'Toons into the Emmys, Star Wars | Today's News: Our Take | 9/7/2007
Family Guy's Brian and Stewie Griffin will pay musical tribute to the year in television with an original onstage performance at this year's Primetime Emmy Awards, airing Sept. 16 on Fox. In a statement, Stewie says, "I'm going to get me a nice big whiff of some Ryan Seacrest." Why do I get the feeling it will smell exactly like "too much Axe"?Fox has also released a promotional poster for Family Guy's Sept. 23 premiere, where the Griffin gang gets reimagined as Star Wars characters.
