Seth MacFarlane discusses “The Cleveland Show”, the making of “Something, Something, Something Darkside”, his role in “Flash Forward”, and upcoming Family Guy guest stars in an interview conducted by Fred Topel of Crave Online. An excerpt from the article:
Crave Online: Is your Empire Strikes Back episode done?
MacFarlane: We just finished editing it.
Crave Online: How did it turn out?
MacFarlane: Great, great. It almost ******* killed me. It was so much work.
Crave Online: More than Blue Harvest?
MacFarlane: Yes, more than Blue Harvest and Jedi will be [the toughest.] It’s just with the CGI, with the complexity of the animation and more than anything with the music. Trying to make the music work in a way that sounds seamless, because you’re working with the original tracks. You can spend an hour on a single edit. It’s kind of brutal.

Crave Online: What guest stars are coming up this year (on “Family Guy”)?
MacFarlane: Let’s see, Chevy and Dan, Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, Rush Limbaugh coming up. Who’s in the season premiere? I hate this question. I always think of everyone way after the fact… Elijah Wood.
Crave Online: What are Chevy and Dan doing?
MacFarlane: They’re doing a Spies Like Us homage because I loved that movie when I was a kid and I still love it. So Stewie and Brian wind up in Russia with Dan and Chevy. We’ll work on getting Donna Dixon next time.
