I really hope they do, Family Guy is the best thing since sliced bread...though I still use Bread for my sandwiches, I still watch Family Guy when I eat one.

It's so good, I actually spread butter on my Family Guy now.. I've stopped buying bread.

Is anyone tired of Family Guy yet?  I've seen all the episodes a multitude of times, and some of the jokes are still hilarious to me, like the...

"Not all Jewish people are good with their money, Peter."
"Sure not the retarded ones, but why would you say that? For shock value?  Jeez, there's edgy and there's offensive!  Good day to you sir!"

Family Guy Making a Come Back to TV?
Source: USA Today

20th Century Fox is considering a plan to resume production of Family Guy, a sometimes crude animated comedy that the Fox network took off the air more than 18 months ago.

As many as 35 new episodes could return in January 2005, marking the first time that a canceled series has been revived based on strong DVD demand and ratings in syndication.

Fox Television Entertainment Group chairman Sandy Grushow said a decision is expected soon and called the series a late-blooming phenomenon that may have aired before its time.

A DVD set of the show's first 28 episodes released in April has sold nearly 1 million copies, making it this year's top-selling TV show and the No. 4 television title ever. A second collection, of 22 episodes, has sold 520,000 copies. And the series is Cartoon Network's most popular among adults.

The series was created by Seth MacFarlane, who wrote scripts, drew characters, provided voices and infused the show with rapid-fire sight gags. But ratings faded, and the show ended with a whimper early last year.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I am definitely not tired of Family Guy yet. I am so glad it's on Adult Swim. And hey! The new season of Home Videos is coming up! Yay!

The Tick has to be one of the best television shows on DVD, behind Family Guy of course. But, in all seriousness, I want to have a love affair with the writer for The Tick and Family Guy. They're on my to do list.
mmm, mmmm good

IMDB has got a tiny bit on the Family Guy movie: supposed to be released on DVD *sometime* 2004, and apparently the story is based around Stewie discovering he's a homosexual.

Yes... yes.. YES! Family Guy deserves it. It would be incredible. I'm in the UK so I've had every ep on DVD for almost a year now  :-D All my friends are crazy about the show too. I don't know whether I just didn't appreciate The Simpsons or whatever, but I just find Family Guy just so much more hilarious. Much, much funnier. Oh, and Invador Zim rocked too.

He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.

Cool, but that's not news.  I mean, Stewie pretty much *knows* he's gay.  It's an ongoing theme throughout the whole series.  I mean, he dances with sailors, he dances in a gay bars, if he didn't hate his mother so much, he'd be a lock for your stereotypical gay, which Family Guy is rather keen on.  (Stereotypes, that is.)  Still, I can't wait for the film.  Just watched some of Vol. 2 yesterday.  Still as great as ever, especially after having left it on the shelf for a while.

"There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high - water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." - Hunter S. Thompson.
