Planet Family Guy

Happy 26th birthday to Mila Kunis, the voice of Family Guy‘s Meg Griffin. Her character may get badly treated on the show, but we love her!

TV.com have included Family Guy‘s Meg in its Top 10: Characters that need to be killed off list. Here’s TV.com’s anonymous critic’s reasoning:

“Meg’s story lines are boring, her voice is annoying, and do you remember the episode with the shower scene that involved, ‘flossing’? Yuck. Meg is by far the least funny character on Family Guy and ought to start a support group for similar, un-funny characters like Lisa Simpson, Jonathan Bower (Who’s the Boss?) and Tim Meadows. I suppose every surreal comedy show needs a somewhat ‘normal’ character to offset the craziness, but then again, she’s still not funny, so I vote she be fed to giant Iranian goat-eating cockroaches.”

Meg comes in at number 4, with Scrub‘s John “J.D.” Dorian character played by Zach Braff coming in at number 1!

Mila Kunis, voice of Meg Griffin, has told Moviehole that she’s definitely on for a Family Guy movie, however she has pointed out that any feature-length film would not be out for a few years yet. “Here’s the thing. The thing about cartoon films that I learned – I was a big fan of [The] Simpsons. I was like, ‘Why won’t they put a movie out?’ And I didn’t understand it, ‘til I was in the show. It takes so much longer to put a cartoon together, and make it into a film, and make it relevant to when it comes out.” Mila went on to point out that making a movie is “incredibly time-consuming”.

Update (10/20): The full Mila Kunis interview has now appeared on the Moviehole website in which she talks a little more about working on Family Guy.
