| Google Inks New Deal With Seth |
01 Jul 2008 |  Comments (0) |
 Last March, we told you about a new internet-based show which Seth MacFarlane was planning. Google has now releaved the name of the show ("Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy"), along with announcing that they will be distributing the show across the net in a new deal with MacFarlane himself. Starting in September, Google plans to distribute "Cavalcade" video clips through AdSense, placing the videos on select sites in its publisher network. As the Times describes it, Google will try integrating MacFarlane's cartoon with several video ad formats, including pre-roll ads and banners. The only question on our lips is: "Will the show succeed?". Of course it will. Especially when it has a multi-billion dollar corporation like Google behind it. Details on the show itself are slim to none at the minute, but from the title, we can guess the show will be some sort of random cartoon clip show. We may be right, or we may be completely wrong. Roll on September 2008! |

| Family Guy Shortlisted For Emmy Nom |
| 28 Jun 2008 | Comments (0) |
| Family Guy has been listed as one of the top ten shows expected to receive nominations for the 2008 Emmy Awards in the comedy category. This official release has been made to put an end to the rumours which were floating around the internet about this time last year for that year's Emmy awards. These shows will go on to two Blue Ribbon Panel screenings to be conducted throughout this weekend (June 28-29). The results of each panel will represent fifty percent of the vote and will be averaged together to determine the five nominees in each category. If you're interested, you can read about this process here for a more in-depth explanation on how this process works. Along with Family Guy, the following shows have also been shortlisted: "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "The Office", "Two and a Half Men", "Ugly Betty" and "Weeds". You can find out all ten of the shortlisted comedies by visiting this link. Remember; just five of these highly popular comedies can be nominated, so Family Guy will really have a tough time even making it through what some would call "the second round" of the annual Emmy award competition. |

| White Castle Spawn New Family Guy Ad Campaign |
| 19 Jun 2008 | Comments (0) |
 Above is an image from the Coca-Cola television commercial starring a huge, inflatable Stewie Griffin. This was the second ever Family Guy marketing campaign, following the Subway advertisement commercial with Peter Griffin. This week, the White Castle restaurant chain decided to jump on the bandwagon. The chain is introducing a campaign that features members of the animated cast of “Family Guy” like Stewie and Brian. There will be cups bearing likenesses of the characters, posters in stores and radio commercials by JWT, part of the WPP Group. “Our brand is quirky,” Ms. Bartley said, “not a brand like Burger King or McDonald’s.” That made the agreement to use the “Family Guy” cast for the campaign “a good fit,” she added. Expect to be drinking out of Family Guy cups at your local White Castle restaurant in the coming months. |
