It’s been requested by our members on numerous occasions, and today we’ve finally delivered: today sees the official launch of the Freakin’ Sweet News forum, or simply the Freakin’ Sweet Forum.

Located at http://freakinsweetnews.com/forum, this forum aims to be an expansion of our previous miniature discussion forum, which proved to be a very popular asset to the website.

Unfortunately, you will have to register with our forum separately in order to post, but once you do, not only will you be able to discuss anything and everything Family Guy, but we’ve also included room for American Dad! and The Cleveland Show fans too (alright, so the last may not have aired yet, but we can still talk about it).

So, if you’re interested, be sure to check out the Freakin’ Sweet Forum, the newest addition to our network.

The Griffin family heads to the annual Quahog “Star Trek” convention, but Stewie blows a fuse when he doesn’t get a chance to ask his favorite “Star Trek: The Next Generation” cast members any questions.

This was actually a clip from the pilot episode, and executive producers David Goyer and Marc Guggenheim have confirmed that he has a recurring role on the series. Goyer said that Seth asked if there was a part for him on the show, before they cast him as an FBI agent.

“Seth called me up. He said ‘I f**king love this script,” Goyer revealed.

TV.com have counted down the Top 10 television characters they want to see killed off, and Meg Griffin from Family Guy comes in at number 4.

“Meg’s story lines are boring, her voice is annoying, and do you remember the episode with the shower scene that involved, ‘flossing’? Yuck. Meg is by far the least funny character on Family Guy and ought to start a support group for similar, un-funny characters like Lisa Simpson, Jonathan Bower (Who’s the Boss?) and Tim Meadows. I suppose every surreal comedy show needs a somewhat ‘normal’ character to offset the craziness, but then again, she’s still not funny, so I vote she be fed to giant Iranian goat-eating cockroaches.”

Meg was beaten by characters including Hurley “Hugo” Reyes (the fat guy) from Lost and John “J.D.” Dorian from Scrubs.
