A primer on COVID from Family Guy (2021)

 Family Guy creator-executive producer-star Seth MacFarlane has been outspoken about his disdain for Fox Shmooze's persistent misinformation regarding COVID vaccines. On Monday, MacFarlane appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to premiere a short PSA with characters from Family Guy. In short, Stewie & Brian go all Fantastic Voyage into Peter's bloodstream to convince him to take the vaccine.

And, of course, there's the usual running gag of dissing Meg.


Oh, and there's still that business with The Simpsons......

Can't believe that Disney took this show off Adult Swim. If Disney is going to remove this show from AS, then they might as well take off American Dad and Bob's Burgers from AS too since AD and BB are both owned by Fox. P.S.: Season 20 will premiere on September 26.

It was nothing personal. Just business. Disney bought 20th Century Fox, and Family Guy was part of that. Now that FG is a Disney owned property, the Mouse House wasn't going to have the reruns continue to air on a channel owned by one of their competitors. The reruns of FG can now be seen on Freeform (formerly ABC Family), FXX and Hulu.

I haven't watched anything on Adult Swim in years, but I think that Bob's Burgers will continue to air on AS for a few more years. American Dad, if I'm not mistaken, stopped airing on AS a while ago. It'll continue to air on TBS for another couple of years, I think.

TBS will continue to air Bob's Burgers until 2023.

And after [as]' contract with Fox for Bob's Burgers runs out, that, I think, is also headed for FXX. King of The Hill is headed there, too, returning to the Fox family of cablers ([as] acquired it from FX a few years back), and I think also American Dad, if I read the articles correctly.

Disney should buy CN.

Good luck with that. They've got enough as it is.
