Seth MacFarlane on Family Guy’s 150th episode

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has been telling the Associate Press about the storylines for the landmark 150th episode of the hit animated comedy.

MacFarlane said of the episode, which will air in the US on Sunday, “The plot is Brian and Stewie are stuck in a vault in the Archie-Meathead, ‘All in the Family’ tradition.

“The idea was to do an episode that features just those two characters in one room, almost like a one-act play.

“No cutaways, no flashbacks. Just to see if those characters are dimensional enough that they can sustain a half-hour with just their personalities.”

During the interview, MacFarlane was asked about the other hit shows he writes, which include American Dad and The Cleveland Show. And of the latter, he discussed an upcoming episode which features a guest appearance by Kanye West. Read more & comment »

Why I LOVE Family Guy

family guy

Be warned, this I LOVE article contains themes of an adult nature, swearing, references to sexual activity and other fun stuff which may not be suitable for children… in fact, it’s really not, so don’t read this if you’re a child. Promise? Ok, then read on…

Anyone who’s ever seen Family Guy and who shares the quirky sense of humour that this show requires to appreciate it fully will undoubtedly agree that it’s compulsive viewing once you get into it… and it’s one of THE funniest programmes on TV ever.

In case you’ve never seen it – and you just plain have to; it’s incredibly funny – here’s the basic outline of what it’s about… Read more & comment »

Cartoons for grown ups – our pick of the best

southpark1

Some of the content in this article contains swearing and material not suitable for children!

When you think ‘cartoon’, you might also think ‘for kids’ but the happy fact is, there are lots of them around that are most definitely adult humour. For example, Family Guy and South Park are not at all little-kid-friendly but some can be watched by both children and grown ups, such as The Simpsons and Charlie Brown.

There’s also King of the Hill and Futurama which contains jokes and one-liners kids wouldn’t necessarily understand but adults would.

Family Guy is my most favourite, closely followed by South Park, so these are the ones we’ll take a look at. Both are famed for their irreverent humour and sometimes obscene or insulting subject matter. I think the reason I love them so much is that they don’t care at all about political correctness; in fact, they seem to go out of their way to jump all over it.
