Mad Men Recap: "Mad Money"

Seth MacFarlane and other writers sue FOX over Family Guy
This must be the day for TV networks being sued. Earlier today Joel told you about China suing CNN for over a billion dollars, and now comes news that Family Guy creator/producer Seth MacFarlane and 15 of his colleagues on the show are suing 20th Century Fox.
The 16 writers claim that the studio not only didn't give them the right credit onscreen for the work they did on the Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story movie, but they also didn't pay the writers for the 12 minutes of extra footage that was made for the DVD. The lawsuit accuses Fox of breach of contract and deceit. It's interesting how this show was canceled and only brought back because of strong DVD sales, and now a DVD is causing tension between the writers and the studio.
No word yet on how much money or damages the group is seeking. I wonder if the lawsuit will make its way into an episode of the show?
