Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:11:46 +0000

Barely one full day after the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombings, and already a tasteless parody video has begun to make the rounds, splicing together several different clips from FOX's long-running animation titan 'Family Guy' to make it appear as if a March 17 episode predicted yesterday's attacks. While the video makes the rounds, series creator and animation magnate Seth MacFarlane has issued his own statement denouncing the hoax.

Meet the Man Behind 'Family Guy's' Peter Griffin

Nick Romano — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 03:00:08 +0000

One thing that was missing from the 2013 Oscars ceremony was Peter Griffin -- although, that might have been a good thing. Seth MacFarlane has summoned his 'Family Guy' persona many times before in public appearances, but when he hosted the Oscars this Sunday, he managed to restrain himself. However, if you were watching the show in RI and managed to leave the TV on for the proceeding ABC 6 news segment, you would have seen the real-life Peter Griffin, or rather the man on whom MacFarlane based the cartoon character.

A 'Family Guy' movie has been talked about for years now but with the success of 'Ted' at the box office (over $215 million and counting) creator Seth MacFarlane says it's not so much if we're going to get a 'Family Guy' movie but when. And the when looks like it could be soon.

The 10 Hottest Women Ever on 'Family Guy'

Patrick Bateman — Sat, 26 May 2012 20:43:02 +0000

A couple months ago, we showed you the 10 Hottest Women on ‘The Simpsons’. We failed to include leading lady Marge who has a Playboy cover and a Maxim spread under her belt. Despite those credentials, Marge just doesn’t do it for us – maybe

You Can Now Take a Bus Tour of the 'Family Guy' Town of Quahog, RI

Jeremy Taylor — Sat, 05 May 2012 14:53:59 +0000

Unlike a certain other prime-time animated sitcom, ‘Family Guy‘ has never played coy with what state it is set in. ‘Family Guy’ creator Seth MacFarlane attended college in Rhode Island and has more or less made the state a character in the show.

The town of Quahog however, where the dysfunctional Griffin family and their even more dysfunctional friends live, is fictional.

But it’s going to be a real place for a day as part of a bus tour being offered by the Rhode Island-based Blackstone Valley Tourism Council.

10 'Family Guy' Look-alikes

What’s it like to go through life looking like a well-known cartoon character? Luckily, most of us will never know. But these unfortunate individuals all have the dubious distinction of looking like characters from ‘Family Guy.’ In fact, the internet abounds with doppelgangers of nearly the entire cast. Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, even Quagmire, are [...]

New FX Show Wilfred Is A Winner

I can’t believe I’m saying that. For the past 2 months, I cringed every time I saw a promo for Wilfred. And it would make me dislike it more and more as FX continuously ran promos for this guy with a British accent dressed up in a mascot like dog outfit. Well, somehow I ended up giving it chance last week.

If you missed it, Dave Attell was at the Egg last night and did not disappoint. The whole line up was great from start to finish. Dave Smith was the MC and shared a few jokes/funny stories with us. He was perfect. Likable, but wasn't trying to over do it. Then it was the official opener Big Jay Oakerson. Now this guy is funny!
