Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising Expands Family Guy Product Line-up after Impressive Launch at Retail

Business Wire, Feb 3, 2005

Premiering Sunday, February 6 in the coveted post-Superbowl time period on Fox, is "American Dad", the latest irreverent offering from the multitalented Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy. "American Dad" is an animated series about an over-the-top CIA agent and his family. "American Dad" will return full time to the Fox schedule following the triumphant return of Family Guy, every Sunday night beginning May 1.

ABOUT FAMILY GUY

Heading up the eclectic Family Guy household is Peter Griffin, a big, boisterous, lovable oaf who isn't afraid to say what's on his freakin' mind -- usually the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. He lives in Quahog, Rhode Island with his wife, Lois, and their three children -- Chris, Meg and Stewie, a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on destroying the world. And, don't forget Peter's well-spoken, cynical best friend, Brian, the family dog. Executive producer/creator Seth MacFarlane has the distinction of being the youngest person to be an executive producer. Family Guy debuted after the Superbowl in 1999, and in 2004, Family Guy made television history when Fox ordered the previously canceled show back into production due to its extraordinary fan support in both DVD sales and repeat broadcasts on Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim'.

The talented voice cast includes: Seth MacFarlane (as Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin and more), Alex Borstein (as Lois Griffin), Seth Green (as Chris Griffin), and Mila Kunis (as Meg Griffin).
