replies: text: This usage of panned means "to criticize severely". It's a vernacular term in discussions of media critics, but perhaps we should use a less ambiguous, more formal term. / edg ☺ ★ 10:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes the word is very ambiguous and probably not a word in most people's common dictionary. (BeeTz)TuneNZ 09:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The word is not ambiguous at all.  It's a common word in the english language.  Either it's not your first language, which is cool, or you do not have a good english vocabulary, which is slightly less-good.  Either way, don't comment about that which you don't know.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.202.12 (talk) 02:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that this article needs a section on the merchandise of the series. Browsing various online stores, I have seen Family Guy books, t-shirts, action figures, steins, keychains and calendars. The Family Guy Video Game! could also be mentioned and more needs to be written on Family Guy: Live in Vegas. Count de Ville 03:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Looking through the multitude of Family Guy articles, I have yet to see mention of the Family Guy Live stage shows.  They have held three so far (to my understanding) in Toronto, Las Vegas, and Chicago.  Is this mentioned somewhere or does it need to be mentioned?  I would be happy to begin the article if it has not been done yet.  Let me know what you think!  Josborne2382 20:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

text: No, you're entirely mistaken. I'm not acting like I own Wikipedia at all. I just couldn't tell you were trying to discussing since all you did was adding "jackpot" and a link, so I mistook it for advertising. Next time be a little more specific then you want to start a discussion. TheBlazikenMaster 22:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

text: But now that you have explained I understand what you were trying to discuss, thanks for that. TheBlazikenMaster 22:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, next time assume good faith, and don't revert others comments when they are trying to help increase the content of the article. Miranda 22:27, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you please stop thinking I was vandalizing? Again, all you posted was "jackpot", there was no way I could have known you were trying to discuss something. One-word messages and a link can be easily mistaken for advertisement, believe me. You're taking my revert way too seriously. It was a simple mistake. TheBlazikenMaster 14:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I didn't say that you were vandalising. I said that you were not assuming good faith and owning. Move on. Thanks. Miranda 06:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you wanna discuss this, then for good sakes discuss it. No I wasn't assuming I was owning anything, look at this. All this says is "jackpot" and a link. This can be easily be mistaken for advertisement, are you paying attention? I'm trying to give you advice, and believe it or not, advices ARE a good faith. Next time be more specific, I couldn't tell you were trying to discuss something, because jackpot doesn't explain anything. Please at least try to take my advice, and look at my edits. I do assume good faith most of the times. This was a simple mistake. You're yet again making too much deal out of it. Please learn from your mistakes, and next time START the discussion with saying something like "Click here, here is something that might help the article.", and stop pointing me to the policy assume good faith. Instead try to learn from your mistakes, common, we all make them. If I didn't revert you, I'm pretty sure someone else might, believe me. Jackpot doesn't explain anything. Well, not much. Please try to understand, all I'm doing is trying to help you so this won't happen again. TheBlazikenMaster 10:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, lets calm down — this kind of bickering over having a Youtube link in any article is silly, we could sit here all day arguing, but that will not get us anywhere. I shall remain a completely neutral party in this, even though I contribute regularly to Family Guy article. I suggest that if the parties involved cannot resolve this on the talk page, that you request informal mediaton, to which I would be happy to assist with. But please, lets try to work together all of us, as well all want the best for Family Guy articles :) Qst (talk) 12:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Again, this issue is over with for me. I don't need any "mediation". I have added the link to the Seth MacFarlane page. Just to clarify any misconceptions. And, I really don't need a medcab request for something silly as this.Miranda 00:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Hey, Fox is showing Seth the same respect that Seth is showing towards pretty much every other comedy show that he has constantly ripped-off. The fact that Seth called Fox "dicks" in an actual televised interview shows how he is obviously too immature to be airing programmes himself. Seriously, I don't mean to give away personal details, but I am not even a proper adult yet and I am embarrassed that such an immature adult produces such immature animation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.154.115 (talk) 16:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Family Guy is mentioned in Subway advertisments, as seen here. Someone add this please, as a influence in popular culture. Miranda 05:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Any definition of culture that includes Subway commercials comes from a bleak world I don't wish to inhabit. More useful would be real-world information about how this endorsement/branding/licensing/whatever deal was made, and if there was anything unusual or significant about it. Advertisements are not themselves very notable — anything popular will be considered for such exploitation, and obviously Family Guy is popular. / edg ☺ ☭ 06:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spelling error  

message: This article has repeatedly announced an upcoming Family Guy feature film which has actually not been announced, and by all the evidence may be simple daydreaming. Sections entitled Feature film or Possible film series based on MacFarlane's loose comments to interviewers are misleading to readers. I understand that several editors here are breathlessly anticipating any new Family Guy anything, but speculation on things not actually greenlighted, in production, or even in concrete planning, should not be made here.
Also, please consider that MacFarlane's interview comments are often facetious, and should not by themselves be taken literally. / edg ☺ ☭ 22:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have already removed some non-essential information from the recurring characters section, but it seems to me that the whole character section is full of stuff that really belongs only in the List of characters from Family Guy article.  Each character should really only have one sentence describing them, containing only their most well-known characteristics.  The whole paragraph practically dedicated to describing Brian demonstrates this point.  I'm going to cut what I think are extraneous details from the paragraph, feel free to add some back in if you think I am wrong. ~~----  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpesoj00 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: "DVD releases also contain the uncensored material."
Shouldn't this be "DVD released also contain the CENSORED material"? After all, if they only contained the uncensored material, then they would be the same as the originally aired episodes.  78.86.33.152 (talk) 12:13, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Censored means that something is filtered or cut out. Uncensored means that it has the cut and filtered out part, for example, fuck is always censored on television, but an uncensored DVD of the show has the word fuck uncensored. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 14:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So you agree with me. In the quote "DVD releases also contain the uncensored material" it is the material that is uncensored, not the DVD. According to your own definition the quote should read "The uncensored DVD releases contain the previously censored material." At the very least, that we are even having this discussion means that the quote is arguably ambiguous, and would profit from clarification. 78.86.33.152 (talk) 16:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps a clarification of that sentence could be: "DVD releases also contain material previosuly censored in the original airing" or  something to that effect? Londonsista (talk) 22:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: In addition to the episodes already mentioned in the list of episodes with different title sequences, 'Brian Does Hollywood' also has a different title sequence, which is fronted by a parody of a hit American drama related to CSI or something similar, however I am unsure which this is.
Also, the first two episodes of the fourth season - 'North by North Quahog' and 'Fast Times at Buddy Cianci, Jr. High' - contain different title scenes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jas3960 (talk • contribs) 22:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Most of the DVDs contain uncensored material, particularly from the third season onwards. The DVD for Stewie Griffin, the Untold Story, had both uncensored and censored version of the audio.

message: Why is there no mention of the pilot episodes. The 1st was for Fox http://youtube.com/watch?v=QcQu0Dh_imk the second was for Cartoon Network in case Fox didn't pick it up http://youtube.com/watch?v=021PPpmwX98.
The third was in the Cartoon Network style but more adult oriented http://youtube.com/watch?v=OeceEtPKOG0. Most likely for Comedy Central.
