- sockpuppets, on 11/15/2007, -18/+533Starring Bill O'Reilly as Stewie, Ann Coulter as Meg and special guest star Rupert Murdoch as Herbert, the creepy old pedophile.
I'm in! - planegray, on 11/15/2007, -7/+493BREAKING: U.S. invades Petoria
- WiseWeasel, on 11/15/2007, -9/+335Could Fox *possibly* do anything more to crap on Seth MacFarlane? Cancel his show for two years and now this? With friends like them, who needs enemies?
- ephrils1, on 11/15/2007, -16/+272BREAKING: Fox loses viewers!
oh wait.... - jrapp, on 11/15/2007, -1/+193Tom Tucker: "And now to our weatherman Ollie Williams for his take on the situation."
Ollie Williams: "IT'S GONNA SUCK!!"
Tom Tucker: "Thanks, Ollie." - NYC83, on 11/15/2007, -37/+204so macfarlane strikes. the manatees can still push their idea balls around the tank. aside from the the voices, there probably won't be much of a difference considering how far family guy has fallen off from the pre-cancellation seasons
- JoeRandom, on 11/15/2007, -6/+144Still, MacFarlane—who also said he won't voice Family patriarch Peter Griffin, Brian the dog, and evil baby genius Stewie until the strike is over—implored Fox to scuttle the idea.
They will be excellent episodes wont they. - typicalusername, on 11/15/2007, -6/+136Seriously... I'm glad MacFarlane called it by exactly what it was "a dick move".
- thebrokenlight, on 11/15/2007, -2/+101This does not sparkle.
- litolist, on 11/15/2007, -7/+91Maybe they'll do what South Park did with Chef and piece sound clips together for the voices. That would ROCK!
- sethaldridge, on 11/15/2007, -9/+92NO NO, remember, South Park proved that the show is written by Manatees...the show is going to be fine...Manatees can't strike.
- Hobbes24, on 11/15/2007, -3/+66BREAKING: Fox no longer has the reputation of being a classy, respectable network...oh wait...
- blackbeardtron, on 11/15/2007, -1/+63I like how Seth referred to this as "a colossal dick move."
- flip360, on 11/15/2007, -1/+57Ollie Williams: "Did you check your TCP/IP Settings!?"
Tom Tucker: " Yes Ollie."
Ollie Williams: "Did you clear your cookies!?"
Tom Tucker: "Yes Ollie."
Ollie Williams: "You want this dog!?"
Tom Tucker: "No Ollie." - RichLatherX23, on 11/15/2007, -3/+55Hell, I'd still watch that for the sheer "interstate car wreck" value.
- CaptainNoPants, on 11/15/2007, -4/+53neither is anything that you like or find interesting.
- Ub3rg33k, on 11/15/2007, -5/+52How the hell is this even going to be possible? He does half the main characters.
- whatthefu, on 11/15/2007, -3/+47Is anyone else interested to see just HOW THE ***** they do the voices and delivery?
- floridiot2, on 11/15/2007, -8/+48That's why it's funny.
- defectDS, on 11/15/2007, -4/+44Breaki... oh wait...
- mhensh01, on 11/15/2007, -5/+41Manatees must not be in the WGA...
- typicalusername, on 11/15/2007, -1/+36First, I'm no Family Guy nut. But, MacFarlane never begged for anything. He had a decent re-run contract with Cartoon Network, and after the DVD sales took off, they contacted him for renewal. There was no SERIOUS grass roots effort, it's all FOX realizing that their shows suck.
- logicalnoise, on 11/15/2007, -4/+39also whats the matter with that? Stream of conciousness writing has been around for years. hell Monty Python is regarded as one of the best comedies ever(me included) on television and I dare youn to make sense of any episode.
- thatsmyaibo, on 11/15/2007, -1/+35http://youtube.com/watch?v=thWnRMQaxms
It will be like this... - Jwoey, on 11/15/2007, -3/+37Im analogy happy, too.
- Jones82, on 11/15/2007, -2/+36You know what really grinds my gears
- smackafiyah, on 11/15/2007, -5/+36Heh heh, alllllllrrriiiiiiiiight.........no no its NOT ALRIGHT!
- Araxen, on 11/15/2007, -4/+32WHAT THE DEUCE FOX!
- dyranios2, on 11/15/2007, -2/+29"that's not true. my comments are neither random nor interchangeable."
Should have stopped here - trogdor282, on 11/15/2007, -8/+32But wait. Why is MacFarlane on strike? He doesn't write the show, manatees do!
- cababika799, on 11/15/2007, -3/+26Yeah, now you're gay on top of everything else.
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -3/+26I would think Bill O'Reilly would star as the creepy pedophile. More his line of work.
- Zalyster, on 11/15/2007, -0/+23Ollie Williams: "IT'S RAINING SIDEWAYS!"
Tom Tucker: "Thanks, Ollie." - DrJack, on 11/15/2007, -2/+24No dice. The manatees won't cross the picket lines.
- natedouglas, on 11/15/2007, -2/+22"I wanna -- MAKE LOVE to ya; chillun!"
- marchaos, on 11/15/2007, -4/+24You stole that quote from Cartman, douchebag.
- firechill, on 11/15/2007, -3/+22How could they do the show without Seth's voices. No family guy fan would ever buy that.. what a shame.
- dpl_, on 11/15/2007, -1/+19The voice acting for these episodes has already been recorded actually:
"As for the voices on the show, a source close to the production of Family Guy confirmed to TV.com that there won't be any Seth MacFarlane impersonators voicing Peter or any of the other characters. The voice work was recorded by the original actors many moons ago."
http://www.tv.com/story/10455.html - terracottapai, on 11/15/2007, -4/+22Please don't compare Family Guy to Monty Python.
They both have their merits but Python is LEAGUES ahead of Family Guy, especially in terms of form.
Family Guy is just a basic framework of a story with a bunch of "you mean like the time I..." whereas Python is a true stream of consciousness format. - draven_b4u, on 11/15/2007, -1/+19just what we need another Fake Fred (for those of you baffled... Fred Flintstone reference)
also, remember what happened to Ren and Stimpy when their creator Jim K left??? Crappy animation, different voices and horrible wannabe scripts. - capiCrimm, on 11/15/2007, -4/+21are you sure Fox isn't just protecting him from The Terrorists?
- bagelpirate, on 11/15/2007, -5/+22They may be random and interchangeable, but they are still jokes.
- browwiw, on 11/15/2007, -0/+17On top of a big pile of naked dudes.
- natedouglas, on 11/15/2007, -1/+18Holy *****! Writers get salaries now! That is ***** awesome! *runs off to inform his wife that the tough times are over*
- prettyha8, on 11/15/2007, -0/+16http://www.blaccuweather.com
- browwiw, on 11/15/2007, -0/+16Hot for *****, that is.
- AtomicTank, on 11/15/2007, -11/+27Family Guy used to be awesome, now its just random jokes and shock value. Example: Stewie used to be a maniacal genius and over time they turned him into just a funny talking baby who grows up to be a loser. Doing this will just sink the ship faster, imho. More Futurama, please.
- URnotheonly1, on 11/15/2007, -7/+23Yeah, Seth dose not own family guy anymore, he sold his rights to that
- ethanpack, on 11/15/2007, -1/+16I suppose Rupert Murdoch could have some goons hold MacFarlane down and physically crap on him. That or air a new Fox reality show called "Who Wants To Crap On Seth MacFarlane?"
- StatusWoe, on 11/15/2007, -9/+24There must be something here I don't get. Fox doesn't appear to be asking him to write for the show, just approve it as a producer. It's a writers strike, not a producers strike. If he won't write for the show during the strike that's all well and good ( and I support that, striking is important for fair negotiations sometimes) however, he isn't on strike as a producer and should be doing his job.
It appears that everyone in the Industry is taking this opportunity to "support the writers" by not doing their jobs,, if you aren't a writer or in a guild associated with the writers guild and legaly doing it as an act of solidarity then you are just ignoring your job. -
