It's my favorite TV family,
the Griffins.

(ALL GASPING)

Victory is mine!

(EXCLAIMING)
Go on, get out!

(SCREAMING)

Housekeeping.

Bing bong!
Mommy! Mama!

You're a phony.

Meg?

(YELLING)
(GASPS)

(RETCHING)

What do you want,
a Cleveland steamer?

All right.

Bringing the
good news today?

It's gonna rain!

(LAUGHS) Yes!

No...

(LAUGHING)

(GIGGLING)

Ah, that's right!

I think at one point
I thought we would
get to 200 episodes,

and then when
we got canceled,

I thought, "No, we won't
get to 200 episodes."

And then,
when we came back,

I thought, "Yeah, maybe
we'll get to 200 episodes."

And now, it's like,
"Oh, crap, 200 episodes."

I'm so proud of you.

Way to go, Dad.

Yeah, you're
a smart fella, Dad.

And you're
a fart smeller, Meg.

(FARTS)
(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHS)

Wait. We've been on
for 200 episodes?

Wow.
I'm actually almost...

What I've done is
I wanted my weight

to equal how many
episodes we have.

So I'm almost
just about at
200 pounds.

And I plan to continue
to rise with the episodes.

So if the show goes
500 episodes, I will not
be able to leave my house.

(BEEPING)

I've always found it really
funny and I was excited when
so many other people did

'cause it meant that
was something that we
all have in common.

This is a show
that has never tried

to be anything more
than something that

makes you laugh as often
and as loudly as possible

within the course
of a half hour.

(SCREAMING)

(BLEEPING)

Damn it!

Oh, my God.
Peter, are you okay?

No! I am not okay.

Nothing about
this is okay.

Inherently, like,
in the show's DNA,

has the ability
to go a lot of
different directions.

We could tell conventional
family stories that are
very character driven.

I say it's four o'clock,
away with you.

Stewie!
Change it back!

No, forget it.
Jolly Farm Revue is on.

It's the latest
indoctrinating pabulum

for children with
not enough to do.

Hey! Shut up.

And also, you could tell
buddy comedy.

You could do
buddy comedy episodes

with Peter and Quagmire
and Joe.

Would you rather get
a massage from a man

or a surgery from
a female doctor?

Wow!

And then, beyond that,
Stewie's got this sort of
scientific bent where

it opens the door
to tell all kinds of
sci-fi stories.

Da Vinci must be
my ancestor.

Good Lord!

That's who Bertram's
here to kill.

So, that means
you're Italian.

Of course,
my love for SpaghettiOs
and smoking on the toilet.

It all makes sense.

You know, it really helps
having all those avenues
to pursue.

Creatively, I've always said
this is the closest I've ever
come to writing Monty Python,

where any funny idea
that you have

you can somehow fit it
into an episode of
Family Guy.

It doesn't even
have to serve the story
as long as it's funny enough.

I got something
for you here.
What is it?

I caught you
a bullfrog outside.

Poked some holes
in its back
so it can breathe.

See, look at this...
Oh, boy.

All right, hang on,
hang on.

I also feel like this show
is unique in that...

Because it's animated
we can push boundaries
a little bit further.

Some of the things that
our characters say,

if they were coming out
of a live actor or actress,

would seem
sort of off-putting.

Are you telling me
that you have a problem
with me being handicapped?

As a matter of fact, Joe,
yes, I think it's immoral.

It's a lifestyle choice
you're forcing on America.

We handicapped
are a proud people.

Yeah, when you're not
drinking and gambling
on your reservations,

which we gave you.

There are things
about the show
that are

maybe gratuitous.

(RETCHING)

But the show doesn't
set out to shock for
shock's sake.

It also has to be funny.

(ALL SHOUTING ANGRILY)

Hey, what are you guys
bellyaching about?

Sir, we are doing all that
we can to stop the killing
of millions of unborn babies.

If you have a few moments,
I'd like you to watch this
video presentation.

Yeah, I got a few minutes.
My wife's getting an abortion.

The "Partial Terms
of Endearment" episode,

the thing to me
that's most significant
about the fact

that it couldn't air was

that it was really
the closest we've ever come
to a true modern day

All in the Family episode.

It's a women's
responsibility
to carry it to term.

Maybe she should have
thought of that before
she asked me for directions.

Huh?
What about incest,
Peter?

What's incest?

You know how cousin Lou
has that kid whose
eyes touch.

So what, you're saying
Touch Eyes doesn't
deserve to exist?

Well, you don't mind him
when you want
a needle threaded.

I'm just saying that
they should have at least
have the option.

Think of all the love
he's given to Uncle Mom
and Aunt Dad.

Okay, this argument
isn't working.

Peter, what if
carrying the baby to term

would endanger
the mother's life?

I don't know
what seven of
those words were.

What if you look
at the ultrasound

and see that the baby
is going to be born
with no arms and no legs?

You name it Mat.

(HONKS)

Even in our crazy venue,
which is Family Guy,

we felt we'd brought,
you know,
a relatively balanced

and sort of
intelligent discussion

of a very, very
difficult subject.

That episode was not
controversial at all.

was an episode they felt
that it was too controversial.

And it's not at all.

It's, you know...
It's one of the nicer
episodes actually.

Max, Max, Max,
let's not deny
our heritages.

You're Jewish,
you're good with money.

I'm Irish, I drink
and I ban homosexuals

from marching
in my parade.

This is a story
of love and loss,

fathers and sons,

and the foresight to
retain international
merchandizing rights.

This is the story
of Star Wars.

We had done
a number of Star Wars gags
on the show and, uh...

They were so frequent
that Fox Legal said to us,

"If you're gonna keep
doing these

"we have to get clearance
from Lucasfilm

"because there's just no way
we're not going to get sued."

This will keep you warm
until I get the shelter
built.

You're sure
this is okay?

Yeah, you're just
cutting into the fat.

And we said,
"Ah, well, God,
that's the end of it."

You know, "We're not
going to be able to
do these anymore."

And Lucasfilm surprised us
by saying,

"Yeah, no,
we like this."

What started
as a small idea became

a one hour parody
of Star Wars that
Alex Sulkin wrote.

He says there are
several creatures approaching
from the southeast.

That's not
what I said.

I said there ain't
a pack of menthols
on this planet.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan
from way back as a kid,
as many of us are.

Okay, so the door's
going to open and
you guys say, "Freeze,"

and point your guns
at 'em.

Or, you know...
Or should it just be me?

Yeah, you know what,
I think that'd be better.

Get out, go, go, go.
Just me.

Oh, I wasn't ready...
Hi!

Those were very fun
for me to work on.

Knowing every line
of those movies
inside and out,

it was fun to kind of
go through it
and make fun of it.

You know, tell the jokes
that you'd always think
of saying.

Where am I?
Jabba's Palace.

Who are you?

Someone who loves you.

Whoa, you are
smothering me
and I need my space.

Some of my favorite gags
from the series

come out of some
of those episodes.

I love in the first
Star Wars episode

when they're
in the trash compactor

and Peter finds
an old ratty couch.

PETER: Whoa, whoa, whoa,
stop, stop, stop, stop.
What? What? What?

What?
No, no, no,
twist it.

I am.
No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, other way.
You're twisting it
the wrong way.

Which way?
What do you want
me to do?

Just look down, all right?
Just look at me,
look what I'm doing.

Yeah.
All right, turn it that way
from your end.

Okay.
Okay, just...

No, no, no, no...
What?

All right, hey,
just put it down.

Put it down,
just drop it.
All right.

We were able to use
all that great
John Williams music.

I mean, they really
gave us the tools to
do this right, and...

And it was because
they trusted us.

They knew that
we were fans and
that we weren't gonna...

We weren't gonna
destroy their property.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

(PEOPLE TALKING
INDISTINCTLY)

I say, Brian, look,
three rows down.
What?

Is that Tom Bosley?

What would Tom Bosley
be doing on a train
in Switzerland?

I'm almost certain.

Tom!

Did he look?
I don't know.

Well, if I yell,
you have to watch.

Tom Bosley!

No, it's not him.
Huh.

We started with
"Road to Rhode Island"
in season one.

And, uh, Seth had this idea
to do an episode

based on those Bob Hope,
Bing Crosby Road shows.

Seth, as you probably know,
loves Bob Hope.

And, you know,
is very familiar
with those movies

and the music from
those movies and...

So, I think that
having "Road to..."

with Brian and Stewie,

they're sort of our
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

Up until that point
Stewie had kind of existed
in his own world.

He would talk to Rupert
and hatch diabolical
schemes.

And Brian meanwhile was
kind of Peter's sidekick.

And this was the first time
we kind of paired those two,
and it just clicked.

Okay, if everything
worked properly

this should be
the exact time and place
that Mort was sent to.

Now, we've just got to
figure out where we are.

Or when we are.

Oh, that's such a douche
time traveler thing to say.

From that point forward
we started

pairing Stewie and Brian
together on stories,

'cause they were
so good together.

And it's a perfect example
of how you can

create a show and then

your writing style...
Other people coming in,

in this case,
the writing staff,

can find things
in your characters that
you didn't see initially.

The Brian-Stewie relationship
which now seems so obvious

was not something
that I thought of when
I was creating the show.

They're always sort of
busting each other's chops

and, uh, antagonistic
towards each other,
but they're also...

I think they've evolved
into their best friends.

(STAMMERING)
Can I just say before...
Can we just like take two...

I love...
You're so brave.

I just love how brave
you're being right now.

This is like the closest
I've ever felt to you.

Okay. Oh, my God,
I was thinking
the same thing.

We are so us
right now.

MacFARLANE:
And the Brian-Stewie
episode,

more than anything,
we did to explore
whether or not

two animated characters

with just a single room
can sustain a half hour

purely on the strength
of their characters.

We thought that it might be
interesting to try an episode

where it was almost
like watching a play.

Where it was one location,
two people on stage,

no cutaways,
nothing, just dialogue
for 22 minutes.

It was very polarizing.

People either loved it
or they hated it.

They thought
it was revolutionary,

or they thought
it was just...

You know,
they couldn't get past
the Stewie diaper thing.

(ALL GASP)

(GASPS) Look!

(SCREAMS)

He's dead.

Oh, my God.

Nice.

"And Then There Were Fewer"
was our first 16x9
episode,

when we went from
this to this.

And, um, we thought
we'd do this big
splashy visual episode.

I love that episode
because it's the first time

we've really told
a story that complex.

So James Woods murdered
Stephanie and then
he murdered himself.

Criss-cross.

The animators
did an amazing job.

The artists
and the directors

and everybody
that worked on that.

It looks so great
to watch

and the score
is amazing.

It's just a lush score
all the way throughout.

We use anywhere
from a 50 to,

in some cases, a 90-piece
orchestra for every
episode of the show.

Even if people don't know
that what they're hearing
is live music,

on a subconscious level
it classes up the show.

I know that it happens to be
one of Seth's favorite
episodes to this day.

And I think he really
liked approaching it
like a movie.

Mr. Peter.

Mr. Joe.

(WHISPERS) She doesn't know
what "mister" means.

Mr. Mort.

Mr. Muriel.

Mayor West Mister.

Oh, my God, seriously.

MacFARLANE: Shipoopi
was so elaborately
choreographed

and then the visuals,

which Dan Povenmire,
the director, spent
a ton of time working on,

really hit every point
in the orchestration.

And the thing that
I've always loved about
the show is...

When I talk to my son
and his friends, you know,

they don't know
what Shipoopi is.

They might not know,
you know,
who Gene Kelly was,

but they're loving
the musical,
you know, segments.

And it's like,
how did Seth make

10 million teenage boys
fans of musicals?

♪ And they'll

Our season seven premiere
was an episode called
"Road to the Multiverse."

And there's this great
musical number called

It's A Wonderful Day
for Pie,

which is, you know,
as devoid of content
as it sounds.

It's just about Peter
and Lois singing about
how much they love pie.

But the animation
in that sequence
is amazing.

Visually, it was
just fantastic to
see our characters

animated
in a Disney style.

I just thought
that was so well done.

And it was
a lot of fun.

Uh, and we
sort of improvised

some of the lyrics
in the room.

Seth just came out with...

(AS PETER)
♪ It's a wonderful
day for pie

And one of us goes...

(AS CLEVELAND)

It was Cleveland as a skunk

that was a great piece.

The Down's Syndrome Girl song
was fun for me because

it was the first time
I had written lyrics
and a tune.

Which I basically went in
and sang for Walter Murphy

who then arranged it
and actually made it
sound good.

It's a lot of fun
for us to...

You know,
to write a song lyric
and have a great composer

like Walter Murphy
or Ron Jones
set it to music.

When we did our
Christmas episode,

I had originally envisioned
something like Rudolph

that had, like,
four or five, six
musical numbers in it.

We ended up, like,
doing two or three.

And I had written
this lyric about how...

I was making a comment
on how crazy Christmas
has become

and what it takes
out of us all.

And when the smoke cleared,
it was a success.

And we were nominated
for an Emmy.

But also, a great
unexpected thrill was

we were nominated
for a Grammy.

♪ You have AIDS

MacFARLANE:
I think the first song that
the barbershop quartet did

was the AIDS song.

And that's
a perfect example
of another reason

for using that orchestra
and trying to be
so musically legit.

Because it allows you
to get away with content

that you wouldn't otherwise
be able to get away with.

Yeah, talk about
making a subject matter
a little more palatable.

People love the absurdity
of these guys singing such
an outrageous lyric,

but what Seth
appreciates about it is

how unbelievably talented
these guys are and were
in these pieces, musically.

It provides
a musical cushion

that prevents you from
being completely crass,

if you're being that crass
in the first place.

I also like the little
things that we do here

like, Stewie singing
little folk songs,

Stewie making up his own,
you know, little songs,

talking about, you know,
"Playing the G-chord

"and here we go
to the D-chord."

Music and lyrics
by Stewie Griffin.

MacFARLANE:
It's amazing to me
that the show has had

the cultural impact
that it has.

For a long while,
The Simpsons was
really the only show

that had broken out
in this way

and I always hoped
we would have a prayer of
maybe doing that as well.

And I think
we've done that.

Ah!

SMITH: One of the great things
now is that we're syndicated.

So, we're on all the time.

And old people
like us now.

I have an Auntie Philly
who's 92.

and she won't let
any of her friends
in the room when it's on

because old people
talk back
to the television.

She wants to hear it.

What?
Huh?

What?
I forget.

I said it before,
but we're so thankful
to our fans

for bringing the show
back from the dead,

that I almost feel like
we owe it to them

to give 110% every day
to every episode.

I try to interact with
the fans as much as I can.

I don't know if you
can see right now,

but I'm actually
eight months pregnant.

And this is a fan's baby.

You get crazy when
you're pregnant.

(LAUGHING)

(SOBBING)

I feel like if you love me
from afar then the least I
can do is love you back.

And if that means
carrying your child,
so be it.

I love my fans.

Keep digging, you know?
It feels like there's
no more stories to tell

and then we dig for a while
and something pops up that,
"Oh, we haven't done that."

(ROARING)

What's next is, I guess,
episode 300.

And I'll have
even more gray hair

and bigger circles
under my eyes.

I'm here for
the early bird special.

But, with an animated show,
you can do
pretty much anything.

There's nothing
you can't do.

So what is the reason
to make a movie?

Without giving
anything away,

I think we've hit on
the answer to that.

So when that
Family Guy movie
does come around,

sufficeth to say,

it will be something that
is not do-able on TV.

(FARTS)

Sorry.
It's been building up
for a while.

I don't have a favorite
character at this point.

I'm recoding voices so much.

Hiya, pardner.
I'm a cattle rustler.

I rustle cattle.

Oh, that's turning out good.

I'm partial to Brian.

Brian.
Brian Steele.

Ooh, good heavens!

He's the only character
that I don't leave the booth
with a sore throat.

Seems to me you should
send less time working
for the paper

and more time working
on that novel you've been
working on...

Ah!
