Notes from The Con - MacFarlane Edition

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Buddy TV has FG spoilers:

Because any adventure with Brian and Stewie is always immensely popular, the duo will also be transported back to 1939 Poland for an episode. Let the inappropriate Nazi jokes commence!

TV Squad has pix as well as these tidbits:

Upcoming episodes will feature: A new dog in the Griffin house that is always happy, which will make Brian leave•¦ a takeoff on the ‘Sliders’ premise with Stewie and Brian traveling to different parallel universes.

James Woods will be returning for Family Guy sometime this season.

EW.com•s PopWatch has scoop on Cleveland:

Leaving the series, however, is (Mike) Henry’s Cleveland, who moves to his hometown of Stoolbend, Va., to reconnect with his high-school sweetheart to, as Henry put it, “form a Black Brady Bunch.” MacFarlane noted that he’ll also have a voice role in that series, as the father in a bear family that lives on Cleveland’s street. What does the bear sound like? Polish (we think).

Blogging the TCA Blogs #11 - “Family Guy” and “Cleveland”

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

THR’s The Live Feed on Star Wars/FG:

MacFarlane says that the followed up to “Blue Harvest,” an “Empire Strikes Back” parody, is nearly finished. The episode probably won’t air until spin-off “Cleveland” starts mid-season. As for what other property he’d like to parody: “Not to marginalize myself, but if Paramount would let us do ‘Wrath of Khan’ •¦ if we could do ‘Sound of Music,’ we would do that•¦ ['Star Wars' worked] because our audience generally knows that movie word-for-word.”

TV Squad has more on the Star Wars ep:

 

Mike Henry and Richard Appel were asked if there was going to be any crossover between Family Guy and The Cleveland Show. Along with MacFarlane, they said no, though Seth said he’ll bring Cleveland back to be R2D2 in his Empire Strikes Back parody.

Make the Fox Connection

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Three actors in this scene from Hellboy II are Fox Broadcasting Company names (well, four if you count Selma Blair’s appearance on Idol, but we won’t).

Of course, there’s George Bluth. And a guest star from The Tick.

But who is playing Johann Krauss?
