Getting ready for the 100th episode of Family Guy - spoilers!!
Here’s some information about the very special Family Guy 100th episode coming up this Sunday, November 4:
Stewie Griffin still might not be able to snag that Lois-skin rug he’s always wanted, but Sunday’s episode of Family Guy is going to be special just the same.
The famously reanimated animated sitcom marks its 100th episode this weekend, just in time for November sweeps and to remind us of what almost never was. Family Guy debuted as a midseason replacement in 1999, was pulled from the air after nine episodes, was yanked again in August 2000, was brought back in July 2001 and then was finally canceled after three seasons in 2002—only to become one of the few shows in history to get a second chance. (As the exact same show, that is, not as a Bionic Woman-style redo.)
And a little bit more:
You gotta poke indiscriminate fun when it comes to “Family Guy.” That’s what the show does. As Entertainment Weekly once wrote, series auteur Seth MacFarlane is “either a rapier wit or a cheap-shot, free-associating vulgarian.”
That may be why much of America didn’t “get” this scattershot animated sitcom when Fox premiered it to great fanfare in the prime slot following the 1999 Super Bowl. Animator-writer-voice actor MacFarlane, then just 25, had crafted what seemed to be some knockoff of “The Simpsons,” with its madcap suburban Rhode Island family with three kids and a dog. Except that dog Brian was an erudite martini-swilling raconteur and baby Stewie (with the football-shaped head) talked like a power-mad demon while scheming to kill his mother and dominate the world.
And just a wee bit more:
Lois’ fans and mothers everywhere needn’t worry too much about the 100th episode, MacFarlane says. Lois will be back.
It’s TV, after all.
“I can safely say it’s not a dream,” MacFarlane said, deadpan. “We do resolve it in a satisfying way.”
- Family Guy’s 100th episode, “Stewie Kills Lois,” airs Sunday on Global and Fox.
Well, of COURSE she’s back - she’s a major part of the storyline!!! I personally can’t wait, can you? Here’s all the clips and even more information about this upcoming special episode: Family Guy 100th Episode November 4 - Stewie Kills Lois.
