Family Guy's Stewie to get his own talk show

Heeeeere's Stewie!

The tyrannical tyke in the Fox animated series "Family Guy" will be the virtual host of a talk show being developed strictly for the Internet later this year.

Stewie's show will be based on familyguy.com (http://www.familyguy.com) and other News Corp.-owned Web properties catering to the young demographics that have embraced the Fox series.

"We think that the property is perfectly suited for that audience," Fox Interactive Media president Ross Levinsohn said Tuesday.

He added that the idea for the show has been embraced on Madison Avenue by potential advertisers. He does not expect the program to cannibalize viewing for the Fox series or other "Family" brand extensions like DVD. Stewie wouldn't be the first animated character to get his own talk show; that distinction belongs to "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," which aired on Cartoon Network.

Raph's Girl note:
FOX exec 1: Ya know what we need. An online talk show.
Fox exec 2: Yes! And it should be animated!
Fox exec 3: Oh and we need somebody annoying and with a British accent!
Fox exec 2: Oh! I know! How about baby Stewie!
Fox exec 1: Brilliant! Lets do it!

Stewie is an awesome character. But I don't see it working out.

And nobody will ever make a talk show better than Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Speak for yourself.

FG has been more conistent than the Sucksons and that pile of crap The Boondoks.

Thus the whoring begins.

Family Guy is pretty much equal to the Simpsons and the Boondocks.

Let's face it. There's no funny cartoon on tv as of right now.

I've got the first three boxed sets, including the new one, and I've seen a great deal of episodes from the new season.

Let's see what's not funny:
-Random peanut butter jelly time references
-John Goodman's Thanksgiving
-Middle East Jokes
-Ashley Simpson jokes
-Every other random bit featured on Family Guy for the past year.

Even the whole A-Team thing didn't get me to laugh at all. Family Guy is LAME. American Dad is even worse.

So, like, maybe you should stop talking now.

Amen

Even though Family Guy is funny (Don't start saying it's not, because I've only seen about twenty episodes, maybe more, and none of them were really bad) I seriously can't see this working. Stewie as a talkshow host? I don't think so. It could work in an episode of FG, but other than that, no. It's just not right

No way, buddy.

Why is it that everyone on here has to be a dick to everyone else, for no reason whatsoever?

And it's favor. Go back to Canada.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-25-2006, 05:38 PM

Stop Fighting. Favor, favour, what's the difference? Same word, different spellings in different countries. Stop trying to make a flame war out of it.

...and the PB & J references are funny

..Which I've all laughed at.

So shut your own trap.

On your word FG sucks?

Don't like it, don't watch it, let the real fans still enjoy it.

I probably should have asked you that, because it seems like all you do is act like a dick.

By the way, the English invented our language. As an English colony Canada kept the proper spelling of words. It's the American's who changed it, so technically our spelling is proper. Get bent, Eh!

*VaughnMichael* · 01-25-2006, 07:49 PM

well I for one don't like this news stewie is my least favorite character on this show....I find him to be the least funny out of everyone and highly over rated by the hot top crowd.....
I think if it was on tv late night on fox and had peter as the host with like cleveland as the band leader and quagmire as the side kick to peter (ed mcman) this show would do fox some justice and some good late night ratings....I also think with the popularity of family guy they could pull some big stars to.
Now onto the bickering seriously ok I to hated the new family guy at first but past the first 2 episodes of the new show it got really funny again....you just have to let go and stop thinking that way like allot of people do with the new tmnt......so what if they use old jokes atleast they use most of them once...
I'm a huge simpsons fan to I never miss an episode...but sadly they just are not funny anymore...the shows becoming more like a drama...and we have enough of that crap on tv....I only watch cartoons I dont watch all those bloody action shows and reality tv crap that the flood the air with...
