A few new websites to draw to your attention. Firstly, to help promote the release of Family Guy Volume 4 on DVD next week (November 14th) part of the storyboard for North By North Quahog has been put online. Well worth a quick look.
There’s further online publicity for the new DVD with the launch of American Dad vs. Family Guy: Kung-Fu II Turbo! Hyper-mega edition. Yes, the hit online game is back with a second version, and this time with even more kick-ass action! You can even play as Ryu from the Street Fighter series in this version!
Finally, Alex Borstein, the voice of Lois Griffin, has now got her own MySpace. She wanted us to spread word of it here, so, mission complete!

Family Guy is on the move again to Monday nights. That means there will be no Family Guy on BBC Three tonight (guess what’s on instead… yes it’s another Two Pints of Lager repeat). The next double-bill is on Monday 13th November from 11.30pm starting with Peter’s Got Woods.

The Family Guy – Seasons 1-5 Collection will be released on region 4 DVD in Australia on November 29th. Although the set claims to be seasons 1-5 it will actually be the episodes from seasons 1-4 as listed on this site; the seasons are being marketed differently in Australia to how Fox is defining them in the States (don’t ask us why). The packaging for this set looks pretty decent, and unique in comparison with the same set being sold in the US and UK.

Family Guy has a lot of history with MAD TV. In the beginning, Family Guy was supposed to air as animated shorts on MAD TV. That didn’t work out, but something good did come out of it. That is where Seth Macfarlane met Alex Borstein. Then, in the October 2005 issue of MAD magazine, Family Guy was satired multiple times. On November 11th, the history between Family Guy and MAD will grow.
Next Saturday, MAD TV will be airing a live action parody of Family Guy. Seth Macfarlane will be guest starring as Peter, Bobby Lee will be playing Stewie, Frank Caeti will be playing Chris, Arden Myrin will be playing Lois, and Crista Flanagan will be playing Meg. This MAD TV airs November 11th, 11/10:00c, on Fox. Be sure to tune in.
