That's nice.

It could be pretty funny, I guess.

I highly doubt that Stewie will take over the movie.

I think that people that actually watched the original airings of the first 3 seasons will think this is a great movie (its been a long time coming), and of course stewie won't be the MAIN character Peter will go on a freakin sweet adventure, maybe with Death. I also think that it was a smart move to put this straight to DVD, unfortunately the Simpsons are going big screen and it might not fly.

"why the hell did this take so little time and the simpsons so much?"

one big difference, The Simpsons will be theatrical, Family Guy is straight to video, as it should be.

I hope that peter is his father,(which im positive thats how it will turn out)and they use all the secondary characters.Family guy is the funniest show on tv in my opinion,and im sure the dvd will be well worth its 20 dollar price tag.

I think that if Mr. Macfarlane has his wa with this movie, Brian will come along with Stewie for the ride. It may just be an extended version of the "Road To...." episodes, which is what the fans want, right?

actually, they probably started the family guy movie a long time ago. the fact that it's made for home video doesn't change the fact that it takes about 6 months to complete 25 minutes of animation. they probably just had an early start, or a larger animation team.

I am worried that Family Guy is blowing its metaphorical load way too quickly. While still funny, I don't find too much of stewie as being good. I find the true humor of family guy as being the flashbacks, and other random vingettes throughout the show. Example, the last show had a firetruck in the wild and a gut-wrenchingly funny depiction of Jake and the Fat Man.

Family Guy for 30 minutes, great, family guy for 90 minutes, we'll see.

Agreed- although I feel the too much of any of the characters is bad- all together, its a hilarious balance. Yeah, 30 min is way different from 90 min.

I loved the original three seasons of Family Guy. I can probably quote most of them, but to me the new ones just aren't as funny. It seems they've become kind of formulaic. Like the other night I was watching a new one that had an ending like Star Wars and I kept waiting for the joke to come. I had hoped Stewie would blow up the world with the Deathstar or something, but it never came. Just having pop culture references isn't enough. It's gotta be funny! And while there are still laughs to be had, it's just not the same. It seems that other fans of the show will pretty much accept anything, but as for me I long for the class of To Live And Die In Dixie or the Y2k episode. Oh, well. Maybe it will improve over time. In the meantime, there's always American Dad.
