Checking In…with the Creators of MTV's Animated Comedies

by | October 21st, 2011

In t-minus six days, the guys who once called Pavement out on not trying hard enough will be back cornholio’ing our hearts all over again. I am, of course, talking about Beavis and Butt-head, the fire-and-boob loving stars of Beavis and Butt-head Do America. Oh yeah, and they also had that TV show, which ran on MTV from 1993-1997. It’ll be a welcome return not only for fans of the show, but also those who loved MTV’s slate of animated programming in the 1990s and 2000s. Let’s take a look at what the creators of Beavis and Butt-head, Daria, Celebrity Deathmatch, and 3 South are up to today.

Due out in July, Titian Comics and Twentieth Century Fox hope the new Family Guy comic book series will draw from the show's massive fan base, as well as help satisfy the niche market need for naked cartoon tits.

Hulu's Most Viewed Videos: Family Guy and SNL Digital Shorts

by | September 17th, 2010

Of Hulu's top 20 most-viewed videos, eleven are SNL clips (almost all digital shorts), seven are Family Guy clips, one is a Glee clip and one is a movie called, uh, Strictly Sexual. It makes sense that comedy designed to be digested in short doses (or at least not plot-dependent) is popular, but it's kind of crazy just how popular these shows are. Also, Strictly Sexual looks terrible.

What Do We Think About These Emmy Submission Episodes, Hmmm?

by | May 27th, 2011

While some programs are still selecting the episodes for their comedy Emmy submissions, Deadline has 10 episodes that have already been selected. How exactly does a show chose the handful of episodes to be judged? As Community's Dan Harmon put it, "I want to see character, I want to see story, I want to see television taken seriously. It’s grounded in character. Nobody is wearing a weird costume; no one is acting like they’re in The Matrix.” Or he just hasn't seen the best Matrix-based situation comedy script. Yet. Each series is allowed to submit 6 episodes for the category of Outstanding Comedy series, so let's start casting [...]

Hustler Is Making a Family Guy Porn Parody

by | October 8th, 2010

Hustler has been making boatloads of porn parodies of various entertainment properties lately, from 30 Rock and Seinfeld to Avatar and Star Trek. But their next one is going to be the weirdest yet: Family Guy. Just how the hell they'll do this is beyond me, but hopefully they'll have just as many non sequitur cutaway jokes as the original.

Fox Renews Both Family Guy and The Cleveland Show

by | May 10th, 2011

Fox has officially renewed both Family Guy and The Cleveland Show for another season. They had already put in a renewal order for American Dad, so the Seth MacFarlane extremely-similar-animated-shows trifecta remains intact. Hey, remember when Fox cancelled Family Guy in 2002 and you weren't really sure who MacFarlane was?

Rush Limbaugh and Family Guy, Together At Last

by | October 1st, 2010

Combining two things I very much respect and enjoy, Rush Limbaugh is guest starring on Family Guy this Sunday. Now if only they could add the feeling of getting a paper cut, they'd have the trifecta.
