Catch Brian and Stewie's online talk show tonight
by Adam Finley, posted Feb 25th 2007 12:01PM
A little over one year ago I mentioned that Brian and Stewie of Family Guy would be starring in their own online talk show. Tonight, before you settle in with a bag of Skittles and jar of moonshine (or whatever snacks you happen to enjoy) to watch the Oscars, head over to FOX.com to see Up Late with Stewie and Brian, a ten-minute, online-only talk show featuring an interview with Rob Corddry about his new show, The Winner (also created by Family Guy's Seth McFarlane and Ricky Blitt). The show will be available starting at 5 p.m. PST.
If you haven't had a chance to check out The Winner, you can watch some of the episodes online before they air on TV in March. I caught one episode, and while it wasn't perfect, I think the series might have potential. I like the premise of a developmentally arrested thirty-two year old with a teenage best friend, and Corddry is a goofy and likable leading man. I'm willing to give it a chance to grow on me.
Goodbye Family Guy?

Say it isn't so!OK, I'll say it: it isn't so.
Seth McFarlane is currently under negotiations with FOX about his new contract. The current contract runs out in early 2007, and McFarlane still hasn't finalized a deal with the network even though the new season is supposed to start filming (um...drawing?) very soon. Variety reports that the production offices are currently closed.
But I say the network and McFarlane make a deal. The show has been a hit and an important show for FOX since coming back, and I don't see them letting it slide away (again). Though wouldn't it be interesting if FOX for some reason didn't renew the contract and NBC picked it up? I don't see that happening, but that would be a cool twist and an instant hit for the Peacock network.
My Name Is Earl 4 DVD set coming in September
by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 4th 2006 7:04PM
The news about September TV on DVD releases just keeps coming! This time it's the first season of My Name Is Earl, but wait til you hear about the extras.This is going to be a 4 DVD superset, and extras will include not only the usual commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes, and gag reel, but also the never used alternate pilot episode, where Earl was changed not by watching Carson Daly on TV, but by watching Stewie from Family Guy. It was supposed to be sort of a crossover ep, but they went with Daly instead.
That should be pretty cool, as will guest commentaries from Jon Favreau and Juliette Lewis.
Family Guy: Untitled Griffin Family History
by Bob Sassone, posted May 14th 2006 10:02PM
(S05E17) What can you say about an episode of a cartoon that shows that the universe was invented by God farting?This episode had a big Simpsons vibe to it, where one character tells a historical story and the characters from the show serve as the historical characters as well. This one had Peter telling the rest of the family the story of the Griffin family as they all hide out in a panic room while robbers break into the house. It all starts with the dinosaurs, and the show helpfully gives both the theory of evolution and the intelligent design theory (Jeannie blinked everything into existence).
Family Guy: Petergeist
by Bob Sassone, posted May 7th 2006 9:49PM
(S05E16) So I'm sitting in my new apartment, all alone, it's quiet as hell, and I'm watching the opening of The Family Guy and they show a scene from JAG. And I laughed, very loudly, all alone in my apartment. I felt kinda silly, but when Mac asks Harm if anyone even watches the show anymore and he says, "not really, they don't really pay attention" then looks at the camera and says "Remember the forties?" I just lost it.Sure, JAG isn't even on anymore, but it was still funny.
Family Guy: You May Now Kiss The...Uh...Guy Who Receives

(S05E15) Hahahahahahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahaha.
Sorry, I just laughed throughout this entire episode. I guess there's just something really funny about gay dogs getting married and a giant gold statue of Dig 'Em, the Sugar Smacks mascot.
Family Guy: Peterotica
by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 23rd 2006 10:08PM
(S05E14) For some reason, Peter
starts writing his own porn stories after finding the writing in a porn book to be lacking. This leads to a truly
bizarre scene involving some sort of rat (dog?) couple who can't afford to pay their landlord, and the landlord (Peter)
says he'll let it go if he can have sex with the rat (dog?) wife. To be honest, I'm not even sure what the hell was going on there, it was so disturbing.
Check out a preview of tonight's Family Guy
by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 23rd 2006 9:44AM
I watched this
earlier today and I can't stop thinking about it. I don't know, I just find it funny. It's not every day that you get
references to the Olympics, eye boogers, and Mac computers all in one 30 second clip of a TV show.You can also check out preview clips from this week's 24 and Big Love, but they're not as funny.
Family Guy: Deep Throats
by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 9th 2006 9:47PM
(S05E13) There aren't many shows - ever - that
would make a Scarecrow and Mrs. King joke. One more reason to love this show.Brian gets a job as a cabbie ("It's about time I got a job. For God's sake, I'm seven!"). Peter and Lois find out about the community talent show coming up (long story how they find out - it involves Peter and Brian shooting at Lois' car from the taxi and the car crashing), and decide to bring back their folk band (A Handful Of Peter).
Brian gets a $400 parking ticket for parking in a handicapped spot. Meanwhile, Mayor Adam West goes for a pizza and finds the Domino's Noid in his office. He kills him ("Maybe the Domino's Noid should have avoided me").
And I Quote: the best one-liners of the week
by Bob Sassone, posted Mar 31st 2006 1:09PM
"International rock star looking after my kids. It's
a dream come true." - Matt Santos, sarcastically, about Jon Bon Jovi looking after his son on Halloween, on
The West Wing.- "Oh oh." - Chris, holding a shoebox, after Lois tells him that the word is diorama, not diarrhea, on The Family Guy.
- "Heading an empire is more difficult than finding racial diversity in the Ambercrombie & Fitch catalog." - Stewie, standing atop the jungle gym looking over his empire, on The Family Guy.
- "I lost the nail on my pinky toe. It never grew back, now I have to paint the skin." - Christine, on The New Adventures Of Old Christine.
- "Sunday, Major League Baseball is back! Barry Bonds says that his life is in shambles. Which is interesting because right on the side of the of the bottle of steroids there's a warning that says 'May Cause Shambles'." - David Letterman
Family Guy: Sibling Rivalry
by Bob Sassone, posted Mar 26th 2006 9:44PM
Well, if there's one reason I'm glad I watched tonight's ep
is because I learned exactly how a vasectomy is done. Thanks to the barbershop quartet singing about the procedure and
the handy diagram of the scrotum, I now know exactly what it entails.Peter is going to have a vasectomy, so he decides to freeze is sperm before he does it. This leads to an hysterical yet truly gross scene where Peter knocks over an entire shelf of sperm samples, and has to refill them, um, himself. Flash forward nine months, and a woman gives birth to another Stewie, named Bertram.
Family Guy: I Take Thee, Quagmire
by Bob Sassone, posted Mar 12th 2006 9:44PM
Finally: an entire Family Guy
episode revolving around Lois' breasts! Well, OK, maybe not an entire episode - I do remember something about Quagmire
proposing to someone on a beach - but this episode had one of the more hysterical/disturbing images of this TV season:
Lois flashing her breasts to Brian after giving Stewie his lunch. I don't know, I just find a naked talking dog being
mesmerized by breasts pretty damn funny.Family Guy: Patriot Games
by Ryan j Budke, posted Jan 30th 2006 5:14PM
I
was just telling some of my friends that I can't wait until next football season because, hopefully, just hopefully, we
won't be inundated with stupid commercials, with stupid Tom Brady from the stupid New England Patriots. Then, out of the
blue, Family Guy has to go and sneak attack me with more of it. Now granted, I
guess The Patriots would be Peter and the rest of the Family Guy's
"hometown" team, but good grief, is there anyone who isn't sick of him yet? I mean, I never thought I'd
actually agree with Jay Leno on anything, but his relentless attacks on Tom Brady may have actually had some validity.
Other than the special guest star, this episode was absolutely stellar. On with the show!Family Guy's Stewie and Brian to host online talk show
by Adam Finley, posted Jan 25th 2006 1:02PM
Two Family Guy characters, Stewie, the evil pansexual baby genius and
Brian, the erudite family dog will be hosting their own "online only" talk show called Up Late with Stewie
and Brian. The show will be launched on FamilyGuy.com later this year. Right
now that's all that is known about the show. As a devoted but cautious Family Guy fan, I think this show could
be pretty cool. Of all the characters on Family Guy, Stewie and Brian have always had the best dynamic.They
each have different personalities, but also a kind of odd mutual respect in that they're the two members of the family
who shouldn't speak but do. Props go to Ryan for hepping me to
this news.Family Guy: Brian Sings and Swings

I've been catching up on episodes of The Sopranos in preparation for the new
season, and I just got done with the second season. I also received a great Rat Pack CD set for Christmas, which has
been getting heavy play here at Casa De Budke. So, between those two things and last night's episode of Family Guy, I've gotten an unexpectedly large dose of Frank Sinatra Jr. over the
past couple of weeks. Not a bad thing per se, just an odd thing. If I were to create a "New Rat Pack" from
animated characters on TV now, I'm almost certain that Brian and Stewie would be on it as well, (and probably Timmy
from South Park, and Bender from Futurama
just for good measure). On with the show!TV Squad Hot Topics
