freakin' sweet!
All you Family Guy fans, get ready to have a sexy party:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is preparing his long-awaited direct-to-DVD movie based on the exploits of his cartoon clan for a Sept. 27 release."It's been an enormous undertaking to juggle this with doing 35 new episodes of the show, but we think it turned out great," MacFarlane said of the film, his first full-length feature, and the first direct-to-video ever made off a television franchise.
The 83-minute, unrated "Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" ($29.98) is based on the animated series MacFarlane created for Fox Television in the late 1990s. The irreverent series, aimed at adults rather than kids, went on the air in early 1999 and was canceled in 2003, only to be resurrected last month after an overwhelming demand for the show on DVD.

In the meantime, check out the "Family Guy Live in Las Vegas" record. Utterly hilarious and foul.

I think that piece of information just made my decade...

In the vernacular of the Interweb, I think that news might be described as "teh rawk", although that seems lacking in x's and z's. In any event, awesome news.

That's awesome! Family guy ROCKS! (So much better than that "American Dad" crap.....)

DAMN YOU LOUSE!

Freakin' Sweet!
So Wil, as soon as Amazon has the preorder available how about tossing it into the Watch section so we can support both you and FG?
Posted by: Pierce at June 20, 2005 02:30 PM
What about show like Robot Chicken, or Futurama, or the fact that the simpsons movie thats comming. You have to give them props to. Even though Family Guy is my favorite.

That is pretty freakin' sweet!
I just got my book in the mail today. Awesome timing since I've been sick - now I have the time to curl up in bed and read it. Thanks. =)

Thank you for sharing the news, yo.

I am not complaining about the release of a Family Guy movie, on the contrary, I can hardly contain my glee. The only rub is that when I first heard the rumblings of a Family Guy movie I was looking forward to seeing Stewie on the big screen. However, it still warrants a sexy party!

Sorry this is not relevant to Family Guy - Ive never actually seen the show.
Figured you might like this tho: You have "made it" on another site. (one of my personal faves 'cause its fun!)

The first time I watched Family Guy was last year when I was at my apt and waiting for my friend to come over. He was at his apt and called me up "Dude, turn on the tv to channel x right now." I watched like five minutes of it before he arrived and was like "What the heck is this?" It freaked me out. But now when I bartend on Sundays the whole bar watches it, crying laughing. Yeah for DVD coming out! Stewie who intially scared me, is now my favorite.

I think it's kinda funny that I was watching VH1's 100 Greatest Kid Stars and heard you mention that you had a blog. I'm new to blogging, so right now my curiosity has me checking out everyone's blogs - definitely entertaining to read what so many people have going on in their heads. Yours has been a trip too. I'm amazed that the guy I grew up watching in Toy Soldiers and on tv is such a normal, down to earth, self-proclaimed dork like me. Dang amazing technology.
Anyway, the Family Guy is great news - never have I been more anxious for fall to come!
Thanks, Copiecat

Freakin' Sweet!
Would have been nice to see it on the big screen....but this will do. I'm just glad Fox brought it back.

Hey Wil!!
I got your book in the mail yesterday!! My day was going pretty crappy, and I thought it was not going to get any better!! When I checked the mail and saw that book, I about passed out! It was an answer to my prayers. You do not know how happy I am that I actually have something signed by Wil Wheaton. Knowing that book was once in your house and now it's in mine is beyond words. Thank you so much for the comment you wrote. You are my all time favorite actor, writer,and everything else, and it means the world to me that I have your autograph! I finished reading Just A Geek, and I must tell you it is the best book I have ever read. You are an amazing writer and you have a great sense of humor! I laughed at some of your stories until I thought I was going to turn blue and pass on. I have recommended your book to everyone I know. I like it so much I think I'll read again. Maybe one day I can meet you and you can teach me how to write like you do. Yeah right, like something that good would ever happen to me. You are awesome, and I wish You, Anne, Ryan, and Nolan the very best there is!! Thank you again for signing your book for me and if you ever have another fundraiser you can bet I will be back for sure.
