Family Guy’s Stewie Outed

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Gossip

Creator and voice talent for Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane sat down recently to do an interview with Playboy. During the discussion, he mentioned that youngest member of the household Stewie (the diabolical baby with matricidal tendencies) is homosexual.

“We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out,” he revealed. Apparently, the episode revolved around Stewie’s problem with kids in school, resulting in a time-travel excursion to the writing of the Bible. MacFarlane says Stewie’s sexual preference explained “why he’s so hellbent on killing [Lois Griffin] and taking over the world. He has a lot of aggression, which comes from confusion and uncertainty about his orientation.”

I never knew so much thought and character development went into Family Guy, myself. The episode MacFarlane describes never made it to air, as it was decided to keep the matter ambiguous.

Not anymore!

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, FOX, Video

Sadly, there were very few moments from last night’s Super Bowl that I will remember in the weeks to come.  (That is, of course, not including the wild game itself.)  But here are five commercials that did give me a good chuckle:

Update: These (really) were not placed in any particular order.

1) The Doritos ‘Mouse Trap’ commercial

‘Family Guy’ Continues Without Show’s Creator

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, FOX, 24, Family Guy, House, News

FOX has been hit especially hard by the writers’ strike, and already some big ratings shows are off the schedule. There will be no 24, no more House, and all the network’s scripted shows are pretty much up in the air. So, FOX is going to go it alone.

Though Family Guy creator and voice talent Seth MacFarlane is on the picket line with the other writers, the network is producing new episodes of the hit animated comedy without his input. (Last Sunday’s episode was the last episode completed pre-strike.)  Although MacFarlane told FOX they could continue the show without his him, he hoped they would not.  Unfortunately, that’s just what they’re doing. Best of luck.

MacFarlane, by the way, voices main characters Peter Griffin, dog Brian and homicidal son Stewie.
