Tivo Alert: Stewie Kills Lois
Tonight is the Family Guy's 100th episode, and I have to admit I'm stoked. I came across this clip of Herbert the Pervert on these here internets to pass on in celebration. Love you, Herbert, and congrats McFarlane!

Now they're talking about a Family Guy movie
"We have been trying to figure out how to do that and the series at the same time without the series suffering,' he says, comparing his plight to The Simpsons' long road to cinemas, and admitting that his raunchy team hasn't come up with a script or plot-- or gotten the needed approval from Fox studio suits.
"Nothing's official," he says, but added that a flick based on The Simpsons' retarded cousin could be whipped up could be ready in a couple of years. And if it is, that he prefers something small for the big screen.

Enjoy the shill after the jump. . .

Fox plans to get a lot more animated
In seventeen years of primetime domination, The Simpsons has made Rupert Murdoch's News Corp $2 billion. And Family Guy is approaching the ten million dollar mark.
With that pocket change as incentive, Fox has two animated primetime pilots in the works, many more in development, and is reviving a favorite that a few months ago was given up for dead:
