- Tarkaan, on 10/27/2009, -3/+83"For most of the special, however, MacFarlane and Borstein made typical "Family Guy"-style jokes, including riffs on deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest." Yes. That's Seth. That's his comedy. Did Microsoft even watch one episode of the show?
- JamusDeMonstar, on 10/27/2009, -2/+47Im pretty sure Family Guy is gonna make fun about Microsoft for dumping them.
- SomeJunk, on 10/27/2009, -5/+45Sounds like they just did.
- robEstyles, on 10/27/2009, -3/+36In other words a bunch of retards in suits saw the ratings and demos of the Family Guy and said this is exactly what our target is. Without ever even looking into the content of the actual show. Upper Management at its finest.
- WonderBoy55, on 10/27/2009, -4/+36You think THAT'S bad...
- tdave365, on 10/27/2009, -0/+28Someone should have told Microsoft that Family Guy isn't PC.
- ohplease, on 10/27/2009, -1/+28As someone who on occasion works closely with Microsoft, I can tell you the idiot who hatched this scheme will be given a bonus more than most of us make in a decade even though it's an absolute failure.
He's thinking outside the box, box of good decisions. - RizzosBack, on 10/27/2009, -0/+23How the ***** did they get this far into the process before realizing that the thing might not be consistent with their brand image?
- robharper, on 10/27/2009, -3/+19Well the special does look pretty lame.

- zvoidx, on 10/27/2009, -2/+14I think this is marketing:
..MS knew what Family Guy was about.
..MS, (knowing all along they would/people would find out), separated themselves from what is considered the raunchiest show on network television.
..this makes them look "wholesome".
..this happens to be right after Windows 7 was just released.
..story gives free marketing with boost to their image.
..profit! - Eurynom0s, on 10/27/2009, -12/+24pussies
Also isn't Fox already the Seth McFarlane channel? Did they really need to dedicate another night to him? - HurricaneDC, on 10/27/2009, -1/+11So God would save a, well, godless atheist over one of the very religious and good-natured people on the flights or in the buildings?

- inactive, on 10/27/2009, -0/+6To be fair, there have been episodes of Seth's shows which didn't involve incest. The rest are a given, of course, but still.
- damack, on 10/27/2009, -0/+5You'd think the fact that its on Fox would be all they needed to know...
- vpshockwave, on 10/27/2009, -0/+5small wang
- derektherock42, on 10/27/2009, -0/+4My thoughts exactly. There's no way in hell they actually made it this far into the deal without ever watching an episode of Family Guy, which would've indicated that it's not exactly PC. (pun intended)
- JamusDeMonstar, on 10/27/2009, -1/+5Jack Daniel's saved him
- dyintrovert2, on 10/27/2009, -1/+5Dead on. The only other thing I can even guess is that Microsoft was looking forward to pulling out of the deal for publicity.
- derektherock42, on 10/27/2009, -1/+5That's an irritatingly optimistic way to look at it. God apparently caused 9/11, killed and injured thousands of innocent people, struck fear into America, and subsequently caused two arguably pointless wars with hundreds of thousands of casualties...
...But at least Seth is okay! Thanks, God! - yoshiboy, on 10/27/2009, -0/+3Never stopped Bono.

GET THE ***** OFF MY DIGG BEFORE I KILL YOU WITH FIRE - Firespray1138, on 10/27/2009, -2/+4Wait that whole night is going to be nothing but Seth MacFarlane *****? I like American Dad but ***** christ Fox, what the *****.
- dimebagtwenty, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2Day took dar duuur!!
- dyintrovert2, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2Net, I understand where you're coming from. That being said, watch a season before sponsoring something. They're half hour shows (less than 20 min without commercials). None of these things surprise me and the comedy is based on the audience line, "Oh! That's just wrong!".
- Sil369, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2haha owned
- MScrip, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1I can never remember how it's spelled...
- rthastings, on 10/27/2009, -5/+6Thank GOD! Family Guy is still cool.. Whew!
- luciferactual, on 10/27/2009, -1/+2I think this was free publicity for MS and they never had any intentions of ever doing a 'Family Guy' episode. Seth should do a show sponsored by Ubuntu or Apple just as a raspberry to the MS executives......
- buddypriefert, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1sigh......somehow I have a feeling you were the one guy who was not catching on to some funny act in a group high school picture and messed up what would have been a really awesome photo.
- bjornski, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1I don't think they wanted to be blindsided after paying for the show, like Dana Carvey did with Taco Bell.
/that show ROCKED! - BREZZZ, on 10/27/2009, -1/+1or go to their website and hit F5 alot.
- esc27, on 10/27/2009, -1/+1Maybe Microsoft was a fan of the original and just hasn't seen any of the horrible new episodes.
- dimebagtwenty, on 10/27/2009, -1/+1they should've voted for turd sandwhich
- Th3Hamburgler, on 10/28/2009, -1/+1Right on, I was about to say the same thing.
Wonder if we're giving them too much credit though? - quirkopatra, on 10/27/2009, -4/+3I wonder how bad it is and how many people they want to piss off. Don't get me wrong...I love the shows, but sometimes they are just MEAN. As long as there's a balance, it's ok....but I'm just wondering HOW BAD this is.
Today is Seth McFarlane's birthday...happy birthday Seth (cuz I'm sure he's here)....
He was supposed to be on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC on 9/11...but he partied too hard the night before and missed it... -
