Planet Family Guy

The Family Guy Inside the Actors Studio is on Bravo tonight at 7/6C with the main cast of Family Guy, except Mila Kunis for some reason.

Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio will be featuring the cast of Family Guy on September 14th. Presenter James Tipton Lipton says: “I recommend seatbelts in your armchairs as the creator and cast of Family Guy assemble on our stage for a hilarious, irreverent look at themselves, each other, their characters and their spectacularly successful show. This is, quite simply, unlike any Inside the Actors Studio you’ve ever seen.”

The now infamous Family Guy abortion episode, Partial Terms of Endearment, which Fox considered too racy for TV will be read live as a part of an event next Wednesday at Hollywood’s Ricardo Montalban Theater. The event, aimed at Emmy Voters, will feature Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Mike Henry, Mark Hentemann and Steve Callaghan. Even though the episode, written by Danny Smith, has been hyped up a lot, MacFarlane doesn’t believe this particular episode is much worse than other jokes that have appeared on the show. “The subject matter makes it sound like the raciest thing we’ve ever done, but it’s a balanced episode,” he said.

In the episode, a friend asks Lois to be a surrogate mother, and she agrees. But when her friend unexpectedly dies, Lois isn’t sure what to do. “The whole last act of the show is one long debate by the family over the issue,” MacFarlane said.

As announced by Fox, Seth MacFarlane and cast are set to participate in panel discussions for Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Schedule details are as follows:
