In an exclusive interview with Coming Attractions at Cinescape, FAMILY GUY creator Seth McFarlane told us that the rumor about the possible return of his TV show is about to become a reality. A deal is imminent for McFarlane to continue creating new animated adventures of Quahog's nuttiest, funniest dysfunctional family, the Griffins.

"It's all come down to the budget right now. We're hashing it out," McFarlane tells CA. "It would be a direct-to-DVD project."


While the feature length FAMILY GUY will be developed at Fox, it will be at a different division and not through the company's television arm. And as for when we might be able to see new FAMILY GUY goodness:


"Timeframe, you're probably looking at a year, a year-and-a-half down the line. It will take a while to make. If we could do it within a year it would be very exciting."


With tremendous sales of the first DVD volume of FAMILY GUY (the second set goes on sale starting next week) and ratings on Cartoon Network climbing high, McFarlane's now-cancelled series is proving to be more popular in its afterlife than it was when it was in active production on Fox. Expect all the TV series cast members to reprise their roles for the movie.


Look for my exclusive 10 questions interview with Seth McFarlane next week here on Cinescape. Find out more about the origins of the show, the developing FAMILY GUY movie and what storyline McFarlane has got in mind for it!

Whats Up With Seth
Tuesday, September 16, 2003

Check out this article from Variety.com

"The network of Homer Simpson and Hank Hill is opening its doors to a new animated patriarch.
Fox Broadcasting has ordered a pilot presentation of the tentatively titled "American Dad," a half-hour toon laffer in the works from "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane and veteran "Guy" scribes Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman. Skein will be produced by 20th Century Fox TV, the studio behind "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill."

If greenlit "American Dad" could launch as early as fall 2004.

It will serve up a 21st century toon take on "All in the Family," focusing on a clan consisting of a right-leaning CIA agent and his wife, their two kids (including a liberal daughter), a housebound alien named Roger and a French-speaking goldfish.

As with "Family Guy," MacFarlane plans to provide several of the character voices, in addition to enlisting other vocal talents.

Pilot presentation order comes as Fox continues to make a major push to breed the next generation of animated skeins to join still-strong toon titans "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill." In addition to the "American Dad" order, net has taken the unusual step of launching an initiative that will result in civilian scribes and comicbook geeks getting a chance to pitch execs their ideas for new animated shows (Daily Variety, Aug. 27).

"Animated comedy is a part of our brand, and has been for a long time," said Craig Erwich, exec VP of development at Fox Broadcasting. "You've got to make sure you've got the next ones in the pipeline -- not that the shows we have now are going anywhere."

MacFarlane, Barker and Weitzman will all serve as creators and exec producers of "American Dad," which will not shy away from political and social humor.

Political punch

"The dynamic is very much 'All in the Family,' with a left-wing daughter who's constantly clashing with her father," MacFarlane said. "It's a great time to be doing a show like this, because it's such a politically charged period that's ripe for satire."

Gary Newman, prexy of 20th Century Fox TV, points to the strong DVD sales and off-net ratings for "Family Guy" repeats as evidence that the skein struck a nerve with viewers, despite its relatively short run of three seasons.

" 'Family Guy' was really a breakout show in terms of its irreverence and the originality of its characters," he said. "While it didn't have a long-term run on Fox, it did have a successful one. And Seth proved, working with Matt and Mike, that he can create characters that resonate years later."

Indeed, MacFarlane, Barker and Weitzman already seem to have a firm grasp on several main characters.

"The father Stan's a pompous ass in the Ted Knight vein," MacFarlane said.

"The family also has an alien named Roger who's not allowed to leave the house, and as a result, sits around drinking wine and smoking cigarettes.

He's very effeminate in a Paul Lynde sort of way. And we've also got a talking goldfish who's the result of a failed CIA experiment in which they tried to place the brain of a Frenchman into the body of a fish."

'Family' life

Scribe is also not giving up on "Family Guy." Strong repeat numbers on Cartoon Network, as well as huge DVD sales, has spurred talk of some sort of revival, either through an original DVD feature or perhaps a new life on cable. MacFarlane recently created an original Stewie sketch for last month's MTV Video Music Awards.

Meanwhile, MacFarlane, repped by Endeavor and First Entertainment, is writing the feature "Party Animals" for Fox Searchlight and is attached to direct the project.

Barker and Weitzman, repped by WMA and Jeff Frankel, are currently working on the first season of NBC's greenlit toon skein "Father of the Pride." Duo are also writing a frat comedy for New Line and the Weitz brothers." - JOSEF ADALIAN / Variety.com

“It's a shame it was cancelled to begin with.. Fox didn't do enough to promote it. But alas, the legacy lives on.”

“Its on Cartoon Network!

“I am watching it right now on my PC.

“"Sooo broccoli....Mother says your good for me...........................Well I'm no good for you!!”

“Good quote.

“I've never even heard of this show until yesterday. My brother has the dvd collection and he loaned me season 1. I just watched the first episode and I damn near peed my pants this stuff is so insanely funny.”

“Damn. Foiled again. I'll get you next time broccoli.”

“I've never seen it. Comedy Central?”

“It's on cartoon network weeknights at 11pm”

“CMB loves this show, does that tell you anything? J/K

I saw a commericial that had several guys committing violence against women-SO NO WAY WILL THEY GET ANY OF MY ATTENTION.

It's a shame.”

“Family Guy will be airing new episodes in the near future. The details are sketchy and they're not sure if it will air on Fox or Comedy Central, but new episodes will be created. Now if we could just get them to make more Futurama's and Undergrads.”

“The Family Guy To Return
Production begins for a 2005 return to TV.

February 27, 2004 - Rejoice, Griffin fans, production is about to restart on The Family Guy. Seth MacFarlane, the brains behind the show, tells IGN he's been given the go-ahead and the only question mark left is whether the new material will air initially on Fox or on Cartoon Network.


"Cartoon Network will be involved regardless," he says. "Whether it goes there permanently or winds up on Fox first and then Cartoon Network remains to be seen. So at the very least it will be on Cartoon Network, which is great because at the end of the day that's where we built our biggest fan base. So I'm happy either way."

He's doing what he can to restore as much of the old writing team as possible. However, there are a lot of good writers looking for work in Hollywood thanks to the reality show craze.

In fact, the series lost a few people before season three began, but MacFarlane expects to get back more of the original writers now than he did when season three was in production. The voice over actors won't be too much of a problem since it's animated and the voice recordings can be done around the actor's schedule.

If production begins in April, as he hopes, MacFarlane will present the new material to Fox around December, and it will decide if it picks up the show for 2005 or if it goes directly to Cartoon Network. That may seem like a long time, but MacFarlane says it would take even longer to get something done if he didn't have five leftover scripts from the show. Three are in good shape but two will need some rewrites, he says.

His other pitch, American Dad, is still in production. He created the show with Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, who were supervising producers on The Family Guy. He describes the show as "Family Guy meets All in the Family, designed to poke fun at the particularly intense political state we're in right now."

The dad, Stan, is an extreme right-wing Republican while one of his daughters is an extreme left-wing Democrat. Stan works for CIA and has an alien (as in from outer space, not an illegal) living with the family. Fox is expected to decide on whether to pick up the series this spring.

The resurrection of The Family Guy comes after a groundswell of fan support, the strong ratings on Cartoon Network and stellar sales of the DVD sets. The Family Guy Volume 1 and Volume 2 have combined sales of close to two million units, according to MacFarlane.

"I think that's what made them sit up and take notice and say maybe there's more money to be made off this property and this thing is not dead yet," he says. "Because of DVD and cable, the show has been able to build an audience that, in the past, a show could only build on a network. So it's an indication that the landscape is changing a lot."

Needless to say, he's happy to do double duty with The Family Guy and American Dad "It's gonna be a challenge but this is what I do and what I love doing, so it's a monumental challenge that I'm happy to undertake. I'm thrilled. I think it's great," says MacFarlane.
