With only one new episode of Family Guy so far this year fans have had to be very patient with the current new season. Fox look to bring an end to that wait with new episodes airing throughout March. The new episodes are Family Gay (March 8), The Juice Is Loose (March 15), FOX-y Lady (March 22), and Not All Dogs Go to Heaven (March 29).

Family Gay

To help pay off his incredible debt, Peter participates in medical experiments to make some extra cash. First, he is injected with the “Seth Rogen” gene (guest voice Seth Rogen) that “gives you the appearance of being funny even though you haven’t actually done anything funny.” Then he is injected with a gene that leads him to a new mate, leaving a broken-hearted Lois behind. Although the family is crushed, they quickly realize the most important thing is that Peter is happy.

The Juice Is Loose

Peter cashes in a raffle ticket he won in 1989 and the prize is a golf outing with O.J. Simpson, whom Peter befriends and brings home to the family. But the residents of Quahog aren’t welcoming to the new resident.

FOX-y Lady

Lois lands a job at FOX News where her first assignment is to shoot an investigative expose on a liberal filmmaker, but when her story implicates a conservative radio host, she gets canned.

Not All Dogs Go to Heaven

The cast of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” including Patrick Stewart, Levar Burton, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, Wil Wheaton, Denise Crosby, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes provides guest voices on the last all-new March episode of FAMILY GUY. The Griffin family heads to the annual Quahog “Star Trek” convention, but Stewie blows a fuse when he doesn’t get a chance to ask his favorite “Star Trek: The Next Generation” cast members any questions. He devises a plan, builds a transporter and beams the entire cast to his bedroom so they can spend a fun-filled day together in Quahog.

Seth Rogan from last year’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno is to guest voice in an upcoming episode of Family Guy. Rogan will feature in the episode Family Gay as himself, with Peter being injected with the Seth Rogen gene that “gives you the appearance of being funny even though you haven’t actually done anything funny.” In the episode Peter will be also injected by a second gene that will leave Lois heart-broken when Peter goes after a new mate.

Family Gay will air on Fox Sunday March 8 at 9pm.
