The Mob Has Spoken

"FAMILY GUY" SET FOR FREAKIN' SWEET SEASON PREMIERE SUNDAY, MAY 1, ON FOX

FAMILY GUY is back by popular demand with all-new episodes beginning Sunday, May 1 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX, it was announced today by Gail Berman, President, Entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Co.

Since its debut in 1999, the Emmy-nominated animated series has attracted an impressively loyal following of devoted fans and has sold over 3.5 million combined DVD units, making it the fourth-largest TV series seller ever.

Creator/executive producer Seth MacFarlane will continue to serve up the distinctively twisted and irreverently outrageous trials and tribulations of PETER GRIFFIN (MacFARLANE) and his not-quite-so-average family of middle-class New Englanders. LOIS (Alex Borstein) is Peter's loving wife, who struggles to maintain a modicum of normalcy in their home life. Then there are their kids: angst-ridden, 16-year-old MEG (Mila Kunis), who only really wants to be noticed; 13-year-old CHRIS (Seth Green), a sweet-natured slacker; and 1-year-old STEWIE (MacFarlane), a diabolically clever baby who's already bent on world domination. Rounding out the Griffin household is BRIAN (MacFarlane), the brainy family pooch who likes his martinis as dry as his Mighty Dog.

Blogger's Note: To my knowledge, this is the first time in TV history that a show has been cancelled and then brought back on the same network under the same name.
