Family Guy: The Movie: The cancelled FOX adult animated comedy could be making a comeback. The three-season long show ran on Fox from 1999-2001 but was pulled due to low ratings which weren’t helped by an unstable airing schedule - since then however the studio has been very impressed with both the first wave of DVD sales and Cartoon Network re-run ratings, so much so that a direct-to-DVD feature-length new movie is being considered by creator Seth MacFarlane. Seth told Variety that “It’s certainly some vindication and a sign that the show is as popular as we always suspected. Fox certainly gave the show more of a chance than a lot of shows would’ve gotten, and we’re indebted to Gail [Berman, Fox Entertainment Chief] for the fact that we even got a third season. But it’s also frustrating for everyone who worked on the show. We all felt it was killed before its time”. Fox will release a second batch of episodes on disc later this Fall.

God let this be true. I need more of a Stewie fix.
Giggity giggity giggity, OH, YEAH!
Please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please let it happen!
Hmm. Supposedly Fox has killed the idea of a Futurama movie, and that’s been greeted as warmly as Family Guy, so I’m not going to hold my breath. (I will, however, eagerly rush out and buy 'em if they ever are released.)
I will be very surprised if this actually happens, considering the fact that one 30 minute episode costs over a million dollars. It would be great though.
