Under discussion doesn't make it official. Nothing is until the contracts are signed.

You're celebrating that it's "under discussion"? C'mon now.

Yep, and the fact that "As many as 35 new episodes could premiere in January 2005, according to the Fox spokesperson". Given the previous status of Family Guy (dead and buried), that seems like something to celebrate to me. Even if it doesn't happen, this turn of events bodes well for more Family Guy in *some* form in the future.

35 episodes in one month will be freakin' sweet.

If by "almost" you mean "slightly more then", then you are correct.

Almost means "very nearly but not exactly."

I certainly don't. :-D

I think he meant they will *start* premiering in January 2005. They are not going to make a whole seasons worth of episodes and play them all in one month, leaving the rest of the year for reruns.

Gee, really? Because most of us just crawled out of caves and have no idea how networks generally wheel out new episodes.

A couple people seemed like they seriously thought that all new episodes would play in one month, that is what I was commenting on.

Please see my other post, which talks about people not understanding sarcasm when they see it. I don't think anyone believed they were going to do 35 episodes in one month, it was just funny to point out that that's what it sounded like.

Yeah, after looking back at the post and reading it the day after I made my post I picked some of that up... but when you're drowsy you miss things. ;-)

episodes

yes i will celebrate cause like the other positive posts said it was dead and buried and the fact it is on the table is good enough for me. As for my it's official post, i should have specified that it's official that it's on the net and in the papers and not a rumor started on a NG...my fault for that

but still to all the party poopers I'll give you something to rue about.....well go ahead start ruing....

A wise decision. Star Trek's return to prime time network television was in "discussion" in 1977, but nothing was ever finalized.

And we all know that was the end of Star Trek...

"Homer J. Simpson" wrote in message news:[email]...

LOL...for the record, the proposed Star Trek revival was supposed to have been the cornerstone of an attempt by Paramount to launch a 4th TV network...having been scared off by a period of economic recession, studio head Charles Bluhdorn killed the venture, and they decided to make a ST movie instead.

Well, for a while, the network life of it at least. Took over two decades past the discussion to see Star Trek to return to U... P... N. A'ight then.

I don't remember hearing this before...from same article...Schell seems like a real hard-on...

"The series was also the target of an advertiser boycott instigated by MacFarlane's former prep school headmaster, the Reverend Richardson Schell. Schell convinced several advertisers to abandon the 'toon, alleging that it contained anti-Semitic, racist and sexist content. Schell had previously asked MacFarlane to change the cartoon family's surname. Griffin was the same last name as that of Schell's assistant, Elaine Griffin.

More than 125,000 fans fired back with their own online petition announcing their intention to boycott the network and its advertisers if the series was canceled, all to no avail.

Wasn't McFarlane developing some other show? Would they shelve that and produce new FG shows instead?

If the network figures they will get the ratings and advertising dollars, I'm sure they would do just about anything.
