Coming Attractions: Family Guy gets a new mayor....

The late Adam West voiced his own animated alter-ego as the mayor of Quahog, home of Family Guy, many of the episodes airing after his passing in 2017.

As the Fox series begins its new season this fall, Quahog will have a new mayor, and, danged if he don't sell ya some beer or a truck along the way.

Veteran actor Sam Elliott, a past guest on Guy, joins the series as a recurring regular this season as Wild West West, toon Adam's cousin, who is persuaded by dimwitted Peter Griffin (series creator/executive producer Seth MacFarlane) to make a run for office.

And that ain't all.

Early word is that Guy will take its shots at President Trump when Peter takes a job as a reporter, and, well, that leads to an awkward meeting between Trump and Peter's daughter, Meg (Mila Kunis). Actress-singer Mandy Moore also joins the show this season as the daughter of Peter's best buddy, Glenn Quagmire (MacFarlane). Well, at least we know she knows how to sing....!

Family Guy begins season 17 in November. You've been warned.

I haven't watched Family Guy in ages. This is strictly an opinion, but the show ceased to be funny years ago. FG seems to exist only for memes now.

You ain't alone, as I've read similar comments on other boards.

The reference to beer and trucks was in relation to Elliott doing voice overs for Ram trucks and Coors beer in recent years. Expect jokes about that during the season.
