The cult animated sit-com "Family Guy", a particular favourite of ours here
at Funny.co.uk, was cancelled last year despite the protests, campaigns and
petitioning of it's loyal followers. Many are in extensive counselling and
a world-wide sales increase of Prozac has been seen to coincide exactly with
when the announcement was made.
However, some new forms of therapy could be upon us in the not too
distant future, in the form of a feature-length Family Guy movie and a new
animated series, from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, called "American
Dad".
The Family Guy movie will be a "straight-to-DVD" release that, according to
MacFarlane, will take a year to 18 months to make. It will still be
produced by Fox, but by a different division and not the company's television
arm.
The new series, "American Dad", could be launched next year, and follows a
right-wing CIA agent, his wife, two kids, a housebound alien and a
French-speaking goldfish.
