http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/16/FAMILY-GUY-Turns-100.aspx On November 4th, raucous animated comedy FAMILY GUY will air its milestone 100th episode. To help celebrate that victory (and it is a victory, considering the show was canceled twice during its initial seasons, only to be later resurrected,) Fox will air an hour-long block of the show, beginning at 8:30pm with a retrospective episode, recounting some of the best moments from the show’s other 100 episodes. The following episode, scheduled at the regular 9pm time-slot, will feature a story about Stewie setting off on a quest to kill Lois once and for all, after she and Peter leave him behind to go on a cruise. Hilarity and cringe-worthy moments will, of course, ensue. Normally I’d say something like “Oh these animated shows, they grow up so fast!” but in the case of FAMILY GUY, all I can say is “About dang time!” (“Dang,” you heard it.) Due to the show’s dual cancellations in 2000 and 2002, plus the two-and-a-half-year delay until its resurrection in 2005, getting to this 100th episode has been a seven-year ordeal! (That must be some kind of record.) But I’m a sucker for happy endings and this is definitely a happy ending of sorts, though I’m sure FAMILY GUY has a lot of life in its bones and a lot of lawsuits yet to incite. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/16/FAMILY-GUY-Turns-100.aspx 77 60
