'FAMILY GUY' SET FOR FREAKIN' SWEET SEASON PREMIERE SUNDAY, MAY 1, ON FOX Released by FOX

FAMILY GUY is back by popular demand with all-new episodes beginning Sunday, May 1 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX, it was announced today by Gail Berman, President, Entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Co.

Since its debut in 1999, the Emmy-nominated animated series has attracted an impressively loyal following of devoted fans and has sold over 3.5 million combined DVD units, making it the fourth-largest TV series seller ever.

Creator/executive producer Seth MacFarlane will continue to serve up the distinctively twisted and irreverently outrageous trials and tribulations of PETER GRIFFIN (MacFARLANE) and his not-quite-so-average family of middle-class New Englanders. LOIS (Alex Borstein) is Peter's loving wife, who struggles to maintain a modicum of normalcy in their home life. Then there are their kids: angst-ridden, 16-year-old MEG (Mila Kunis), who only really wants to be noticed; 13-year-old CHRIS (Seth Green), a sweet-natured slacker; and 1-year-old STEWIE (MacFarlane), a diabolically clever baby who's already bent on world domination. Rounding out the Griffin household is BRIAN (MacFarlane), the brainy family pooch who likes his martinis as dry as his Mighty Dog.

Wow...almost a year since I started back on the show.....time f'in flies, man...

Don't you mean "laugh and flies"?

Yeah, there's a joke about the "hiatus" ...but it might change by the time it airs...and Peter's still a fisherman (for now).

un-freakin-believable

Sure hope it's not a letdown. Also, I wonder why, on Sunday, Fox showed one of the lamer FG episodes. It was the one where Peter has to take over for Death. Out of all of the episodes, why show that one?

Is that the one with Norm MacDonald as Death? My wife and I think it's one of the best episodes, thanks to MacDonald as well as Stewie's fawning...

That's the one.

I also think that Norm's version of Death was way better than Adam Corolla whose voice is so whiny. Norm had that sinister laugh going there when Peter tried to pass himself off as the lamp.

The best part has to be off course when Death has an unexpected awkward situation in the back of the car during sex. "Oh no! I'm going to be a virgin forever...or am I?" (the car rocks back and forth)

I liked Norm as Death better than the other guy too.

That was the best gag in the show. But, overall, I think it was one of the weaker episodes.
