Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 10:31 AM AMERICAN DAD: How does one put this in a family magazine? We learn in the premiere that CIA agent Stan has never...well... gotten to know himself. ''Being as conservative as he is, he's never touched himself,'' executive producer Matt Weitzman reveals. ''But he suddenly discovers it, and then gets addicted.'' What more can be said about season 2 except that Patrick Stewart reprises his role as the director of the CIA, this time relocating Stan and his animated clan to Saudi Arabia, which sits well with Mr. Father Knows All. Let's skip the episode where Stan's daughter sleeps with his boss and just say that Beau Bridges, Laura Linney, Stephen Colbert, and Jason Lee do guest voices. We have to shower now. FAMILY GUY:
David Goodman is one bare-knuckle executive producer. ''We're up against Desperate Housewives, so we're upping the sexy woman quotient.'' Yeah? Yeah?! ''We've got Carol Channing and Phyllis Diller.'' Perhaps ''bare-knuckle'' was overstating it a tad, but the man clearly knows from struggle. Family Guy, in its second season P.R. (post-resurrection), is not about to waste a second chance: Guest stars include Robert Downey Jr., Wanda Sykes, Carrie Fisher, and Larry Hagman. Story arcs involve Brian and Stewie in college (?!), Peter getting a job at a brewery, and Meg growing a spine. Sounds promising. ''I'm very excited,'' says Goodman. ''My main focus is to keep this job as long as I can.'' —pookie |

Sunday, September 11, 2005 at 7:29 PM WINDS OF CHANGE: The real-life tragedy of Hurricane Katrina is even having reverberations in the cartoon world of Family Guy. Fox has decided to swap the episode originally scheduled to open the series' new season tonight, which featured hurricane references, for one featuring guest voice James Woods (Nixon, Salvador). "Out of sensitivity to what happened, we're moving back [the original premiere episode] a couple weeks," a Fox rep tells Broadcasting & Cable. —pookie |
