Original series star Heather Morris has yet to resign a contract, and with her real-life pregnancy, could "Regionals" have been Brittany S. Pierce's last opus?

Curious, and conflicting news to report from FOX's third Seth MacFarlane-created Animation Domination staple 'The Cleveland Show,' as heavy rumors seem to be circulating about the show's cancellation.

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.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:30:44 +0000

'The Office's' May 16 series finale may put the entire Dunder-Mifflin crew out of work, but at least one star of the long-running NBC comedy won't be out of a job for too long.

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.

J.J. Abrams and 'Fringe' Producer's Robot Cop Drama Is Coming to FOX

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 23:46:51 +0000

No, you're not dreaming. Though it might seem these days that J.J. Abrams has a little too much on his plate between directing the next 'Star Wars' and whatever will become of the re-booted 'Star Trek' franchise, the prolific producer is keeping his hands in TV as well. FOX has officially ordered to pilot a futuristic new drama from Abrams and former 'Fringe' producer/showrunner J.H. Wyman, but will the latest effort fare better than its predecessor? Find out the latest on Abrams' and Wyman's robotic future-cops inside!

Between the ongoing success of 'Family Guy,' 'American Dad,' 'The Cleveland Show,' 'Ted' and his upcoming gig hosting the Oscars, Seth MacFarlane has the world by a string. And with live-action success at the box-office, where better to turn next than a live-action TV series? As pilot season picks up, FOX has given a strong display of faith to MacFarlane picking up to series live-action comedy pilot 'Dads,' but what role will MacFarlane take on the actual show?

Fox and 'Entourage' Creators Developing Marijuana Legalization Comedy

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:01:36 +0000

Well, that didn't take very long, did it? While a few weeks ago most concerned themselves with petty matters like the Presidential election, the real story came out of Colorado and Washington, where a measure passed legalizing the sale of marijuana! While perhaps symptom of a delayed reaction (hint hint), it seems Hollywood has responded in kind by developing a FOX sitcom based on the legalizing movement! From the producers of 'Entourage' no less, could 'The Happy Tree' push the movement even further?
