Australia: Season 4 starts December 4th

Posted by Rob on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 in Australasia

Good news for Family Guy fans in Australia, season 4 starts on Channel 7 December 4th, at 8:00pm. The first episode will apparently be Don’t Make Me Over:

In an effort to try to restore popularity to the Drunken Clam, a karoake machine is installed. Peter, Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland start a mish-mash cover band only to discover that they can’t play. Meg saves the day with her voice and new makeover. The Griffin family is signed as a family band lead by Meg. All is well until she is emberassed on national TV.

    that's cool and all that but i think "don't make me over," isn't the best episode in season 4

    Amazing they're putting it on in prime-time after abandoning Season 3 to mid-day timeslots. Why they're starting with Don't Make Me Over is anyone's guess, but hey, good news either way.

    Although Jason, just because Channel 7 are airing Season 4 doesn't mean The Comedy Channel will too. They won't get broadcast rights to it until 2007, sadly.

    ARRAGHHHH!!! I just checked YourTV.com.au, and Family Guy isn't airing in Perth! It is in other states, but not here! WHAT THE HELL? They did the same damn thing with the first 2 seasons - we only got the first 2 episodes of Season 1, then it was taken off. Other states managed to get about half-way through Season 2, and we got nothing. We both got Season 3 in the middle of the afternoon, but it looks like prime-time Family Guy's never gonna happen here... God, I hate you, Channel 7.

    Looking through the guide for the comedy channel has no time slot for family guy at 8pm only the normal ones that season 1-3 have been playing. I'm not sure where you you got your info from but i dont expect to see season 4 until 2007 when they obtain the rights.

  13. Matt Mill (Mon 28 November 2005)

    Once again channel 7 has ignored us over in the West, we arent getting the episodes. Will someone please find out wether it is a lost cause hoping for it over here?

  14. Beamer (Tue 29 November 2005)

    Jamie - the article clearly said it was CHANNEL 7 playing the episodes, not The Comedy Channel.

  15. Jamie (Tue 29 November 2005)

    ha i miss read swore it said comedy channel the other day not channel 7 my mistake

  16. Adam_G_force (Tue 29 November 2005)

    what is up with that. every other state gets it except us, is there any chance of us even getting ot over hear becuase if we dont im going to die!!!

  17. BeN (Wed 30 November 2005)

    Dammit CHANNEL 7 I HATE YOU!!!
    7 is the worst allmost everywhere apart from perth!
    channel 7 has been about 10 minutes of the tv timetable for about 5 years! just to add to there bad taste in tv!!!

  18. rick champion (Thu 01 December 2005)

    God, Tassie aint getting it either, good thing ive got all episodes on dvd

  19. MTM (Sat 03 December 2005)

    i promised a friend i'd tape it for him since he can't watch it (he tells me channel 7 doesnt have reception at his house or something like that). im so excited anyway

  20. stephen (Sat 03 December 2005)

  21. adam (Sat 03 December 2005)

    We have received your email concerning the new series of "Family Guy". This program will commence on Channel Seven Perth in mid-December. Thank you for contacting us.

  22. MTM (Sat 03 December 2005)

    stephen it is actually don't make me over i saw the ad and it showed a scene from don't make me over. after that scene they showed a couple of other scenes quickly and one was from when you wish upon a weinstein. you should check seven.com.au and it will say don't make me over and a description of it. ok

  23. Beamer (Sun 04 December 2005)

    Stephen - "Don't Make Me Over" WAS the episode scheduled when I submitted this news.

  24. Mr Pickle (Mon 05 December 2005)

    I emailed Channel 7 Perth and got the reply saying "“Family Guy” and “American Dad” will both commence on Thursday 15 December."

  25. Beamer (Mon 05 December 2005)

    Awesome! Good to hear we'll be getting it... Just out of curiosity, Eastern Staters, which episode DID end up airing in the end?

  26. Jamie (Sat 10 December 2005)

    According to 20th Century Fox Australia, Family Guy Season 4 And American Dad Season 1 will be out on DVD in March 2006
