Family Guy news

I know it's not Family Guy Friday but yesterday I happened to stumble across two bits of info related to the hit animated series. And the only way to describe both of them is "Sweet!"

First up, here's one that deserves a place of honour on your wall: A Family Guy Star Wars poster. It's to promote the hour-long new season opener in the States. Wasp Jerky had mentioned a little while ago that some preview footage was shown at this year's San Diego Comic Con (which you can watch at YouTube here.) And yesterday G sent me the link to the poster. It's pure awesomeness!


Here's the plot synopsis for the season opener, which debuts in the States on Sunday, 23 Sept on FOX.

After the Griffin ’s lose power, Peter entertains the family with the greatest story ever told…the story of Star Wars! After Princess Leia (Lois) comes under siege by Darth Vader (Stewie) and his evil Storm Troopers, C-3PO (Quagmire) and R2-D2 (Cleveland ) escape to find the only person who can help the Rebel Alliance . On their quest thorough the desert planet of Tatooine, C-3PO and R-2D2 find extra help in Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert), Luke Skywalker (Chris), Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian) and head back to battle the Death Star in an epic intergalactic fight to the death in the “Blue Harvest” episode of FAMILY GUY on Sunday, Sept. 23 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT.)

Meanwhile, I discovered yesterday that the Season 6 DVD of Family Guy is released on 15 October. This is of course the Region 2 release, and technically what Americans would call the second half of Season 5 - for some reason the US and European Season DVDs have been split at different points.


The Region 2 DVD contains the following episodes:

"Stewie Loves Lois"
"Mother Tucker"
"Hell Comes to Quahog"
"Saving Private Brian"
"Whistle While Your Wife Works"
"Prick Up Your Ears"
"Chick Cancer"
"Barely Legal"
"Road to Rupert"
"Peter's Two Dads"
"The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou"
"Airport '07"
"Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey"
"No Meals on Wheels"
"Boys Do Cry"
"No Chris Left Behind"
"It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One"
"Meet the Quagmires"

Out of interest, looking at the complete episode guide, the episodes that fill in the gap between the Season 5 and Season 6 DVDs ( "Stewie B. Goode (1)", "Bango Was His Name Oh! (2)", "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure (3)") were collected to make up the straight-to-DVD Family Guy Presents: Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, which is available as its own DVD.
