[edit] Website Errors

On the family guy website, They still havent updated the website, so I say that Planet Family Guy Is The Offical Website. And FOX's Family Guy Website SUCKS A TON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOT DELETING THIS PAGE IN THE ARTICLE WIKIPEDA!!!!!!! GO TO THE WEBSITE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!

freaking idiots }:^(

It is still the official website although they havent updated it in a bit. (although the blog is updated). Tv.com and planet family guy provide sufficient secondary resources, not sure what you are mad about... Grande13 19:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, -Justin De Lucia-

[edit] Taking charge

I just created a WikiProject for Family Guy. We will take charge of cleaning up the page and all pages related to the TV show. -PhattyFatt 18:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC) There appears to be some confusion as to when Season 4 ends and Season 5 begins. For example, the DVD release of Season 4 only contains a dozen or so episodes. One would assume that the episodes after that are part of Season 5. In fact, many websites reference the later episodes of Season 4 as part of Season 5. Perhaps we need to split the Season 4 list into two parts and explain the confusion.

This has been already discussed, and its easier just to group the episodes within the broadcast seasons they aired. Most, if not all regularly updated family guy sites have the season 5 premiere starting on sept 10th with the last 30 episodes all being part of an expanded season 4. Its noted at the top of the page how there was some gaps between episodes but how everything from may 2005-2006 is season 4, so it should just be kept that way. People can look at the dates next to each episode if they have any other confusion, so it should be kept as is.

[edit] Movie airing in full?

I see Fox decided to air the movie in full instead of the three individual episodes. Are they going to air a 60 minute (roughly the length of three episodes) version or the full 90 minute version? Will they eventually air it as three episodes in syndication (three more episodes is worth a lot in syndication)? If they do air the movie in full and never show the three episodes individually shouldn't we drop them from season 4 and create a "specials" section to list the movie? While I am on that I guess we should also add the 7 minute pilot to the episode lists.Generalleoff 02:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

fox is airing the movie episodes in there tv form on may 21st. It starts 30 minutes earlier and runs an hour and a half allowing them to show each episode individually. So basically they are running the 3 tv censored episodes together and calling it the movie, although it will differ as some jokes will be cenosred and/or replaced. So its believed they are airing individual episodes as opposed to the actual movie. Saying its the movie seems to be more of a promotional stunt than anything. This means they are different from their movie form so they should still remain in season 4, although fox can always change their mind, but we should not change anything until they air so we can determine exactly what format they are presented. There still could be a special section for the movie on the list, but the 3 individual episodes should also be part of the season66.243.130.10 08:31, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The episodes airig on may 21st are the tv versions of the movie's episodes, so they should remain as they are going to be in different form with a few different jokes as wel from their orignial uncensored versions, so they should remain on the list. When the episodes due air on each episodes page it there should be a list or something noting the differences between versions Grande13 21:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured list nomination? Yes or no?

I think this list deserves to nominated as a featured list sometime in the future. (After a little more cleaning up, of course), but it's really shaping up. See List of South Park episodes as a guide for what a featured episode list should be like. Zone46 02:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I proposed this a few weeks ago, there is still the task of giving a fair use rational on all images. Myself and another editor are in the process of getting screengrabs from the DVD's, so that all license information can be the same. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 02:15, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

It would be good if all the descriptions were roughly the same length, at the moment some are only a few words whereas a few others are about 5 lines. I guess 1 or 2 sentences is enough when it's only a summary page so maybe some trimming is needed. Jimbow25 19:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images in this article fair use?

Settle it here rather then fight about it on the article page by removing and replacing them over and over. Generalleoff 09:52, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

No, they aren't. Take it to Wikipedia_talk:Fair use if you like. ed g2s • talk 17:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't personally have an issue with it. In fact I think you are right and they are not fair use. I simply feel the matter could be handled in a more professional manner. The very instance this matter came into dispute after the first image removal this discussion subject should have been created and the matter settled without the need for constantly editing and restoring the article. We do have a discussion page for a reason after all. Generalleoff 22:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to encourage those editors who are inserting all of these images into this list to review Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Fair use. We don't use unfree media to decorate our lists. Jkelly 04:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• List of South Park episodes has screenshots, and it's been declaired a featured list. The images are fair use, since they are low resolution, and they emphisize the subject at hand, being that particular family guy episode. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 23:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of South Park episodes -- the image question was contentious there. The list was promoted after a Fair use rationale was written for each one. The images here have no rationale. I think that was a mistake, but I'll stop removing the images if an editor here writes a rationale for each one of these. Jkelly 00:18, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I will write a fair use rational for each of them later this afternoon, when I have time. I know at least some of them have a FUR, since I've uploaded 1 or 2 of those images. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 11:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

thanks lightdarkness, I feel the images are one of the main things that make this episode guide stand out from the rest.Grande13 22:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I feel that, when adding new photos, we should try and maintain the pattern of the image size to nearest as possible to what it has always been. Two obvious flaws of this resides under Brain Goes Back to College and You May Now Kiss The..Uh..Guy Who Receives. If anyone could change these images to a different size or a different image, it would make the it all look that much better.Patesta 23:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

You need a fair use rationale, detailing why the image is essential to illustrating the episode summary. You can't simply argue that the images are really useful or "they emphisize the subject at hand" (sic.); that may be the case - but it's not enough for fair use. ed g2s • talk 15:57, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Its not that hard to do and i had checked a few of the seasons the majority of the images did relate to the main plot elements. While the editors of this article including myself have been a bit slow writing the rationales simply removing the images is disruptive and leaves the images open for deletion. Please try to explain to people the need for the rationales rather than just removing things. Discordance 22:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Also why were the DVD images removed? ed g2s please re-read fair use, the only requirement for DVD covers is that they be used to indentify a DVD discussed in the article. All the DVD images were fair use and I had written adequate rationales for them removing them was completely uncalled for watch what your doing in future. Discordance 22:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

No, fair use is allowed to illustrate an article of significant sub-section. The discussion of the DVDs only as part of a larger list, and hardly requires illustration. The article is about a list of Family Guy episodes, so the DVDs are included to show how the episodes have been grouped for release. The design of the covers hardly adds to anyones knowledge of this subject0, let alone significantly. {{DVDcover}} is not a carte blanche to use these images wherever the DVD is mentioned. ed g2s • talk 09:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The same would be true for any article discussing the DVDs by your logic we should completely exclude DVD covers as useless. They are fair use and can do little other than identify a DVD under discussion, here we have talked about the quality of the DVDs and their arrangement what else could we possible discuss about the DVDs in any article. Take your copyright paranoia elsewhere, people can hardly look at the picture and imagine themselves a copy of the DVD. Discordance 12:51, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

If you still disagree I suggest you get an outside opinion as all the editors here disagree with you, although we do need to write the rationales for the episode screenshots. You are hardly a fair use expert any more than I am. Discordance 13:23, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The images justify fair use. They are realvent to the subject and have proper copyright. But if you think we need to turn down the resoultion, change them into .gifs. The Republican 18:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Now half the images are gone. I doubt that's any better Patesta 19:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding all the pictures back?

Can you please add all the family guy pictures back please!!!--67.34.215.195 00:09, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I've taken them out again as it needs to be clear which images need replacing, as a lot of the old ones are a bit dubious. To fully satisfy fair use the image needs to illustrate the main plot point given in the summary in some way, which means no gag pictures im afraid, youll have to take those to the episode pages themselves. I've restored as much of season 3 that was suitable and about half of season 4. I will finish off the suitable season 4 images now, but im afraid i dont have time to look for new ones right now. If anyone wants to browse familyguyfiles.com for the missing season 3 and 4 images and all of season 1 itd be a help. If you find something suitable about the plot ill try to write the fair use rationale for you after you add it to the page. The images need correct sources too so tell me if its from somewhere other than familyguyfiles.com. A fair amount of season 2 was ok as well ill go through those later in the week unless someone else can do it. Discordance 01:07, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I've readded the remaining old images that were acceptable so go ahead and fill in the gaps. Discordance 03:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

With new images please anons. Discordance 00:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting the Article

This article should be split so that it does not have to be split later when article gets too big. An example of this is the List of Simpsons episodes article. Zweinstein 01:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, 75 or so episodes isn't that many for one page. South Park has a lot more episodes and its episode list is a featured list so they must be doing something right.Jimbow25 23:31, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

People seem to bring this up from time to time, but no its not a good idea to split things (see WP:SIZE, lists should not be broken up and are not included towards the 32kb guide length) unless it gets to the extreme level simpsons did. If Family Guy does last ten years and end up like simpsons your internet connection wont have a problem with the page... Please take the tag down. Discordance 00:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Tag has been removed Zweinstein 02:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Discordance 11:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotation signs

Is there a particular reason for the article to have quotation signs (") on all the titles? --213.67.162.10 20:51, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes its part of the wikipedia style guide WP:MOS-T#Quotation_marks. Discordance 11:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

CAN YOU PLEASE BRING BACK ALL THE FAMILY GUY IMAGES BACK!!!!!--67.34.214.144 21:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Hrm, isn't there any correction on talk pages for all uppercase with improper punctuation?
Anyhow, the image on the Emission Impossible page seems to match the episode, although it might spoil a bit on how Stewey intends to stop the impregnation. --MooNFisH 22:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WOULD SOMEONE STOP DELETING THE IMAGES!!!!!!!

HEY PEOPLE, STOP DELETING THE FAMILY GUY PICTURES BEACAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO UPLOAD AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, SO WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!--Jsalims 16:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

As I've noted on your talk page, we have to give a proper fair use tag with rationale for the images to be included here. Otherwise, they infringe on copyright laws. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 16:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 4 / Season 5 Split

There appears to be some confusion as to when Season 4 ends and Season 5 begins. For example, the DVD release of Season 4 only contains a dozen or so episodes. One would assume that the episodes after that are part of Season 5. In fact, many websites reference the later episodes of Season 4 as part of Season 5. Perhaps we need to split the Season 4 list into two parts and explain the confusion. Jmacdonagh 19:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

at the top of the episodes page it details how the season 4 was divided into 2 segments, nothing further is needed as the airing date is also next to each episode, so people can be aware of any gaps —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:|]] ([[User talk:|talk]] • contribs).

The definitive answer will come when familyguy.com makes up its mind and posts episodes in its guide beyond patriot games. Discordance 09:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Well I'm in the UK and the box set being advertised as Season 4 goes up to the episode Jungle Love. The next FG box set due out is called Season 5. Freddie McPhyll 16:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Well this family guy page goes by how its ordered in the US, so using that criteria season 5 starts in sept 06

This is what I don't understand. The commercials that aired for the first episode in September 2005 specifically billed it as a "season premiere", making that the 5th season, and the current one (06-07) the 6th season.GeneralDuke 02:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Fox just messed up with their promotions a bit. Regardless, look at the official episode guide at familyguy.com which states we are currently on the 5th season, enough said.

i think the problem is that this is volume 4 when on other box set (which i have) it says its Season 5 -it clearly says 'season 5' on the front of the dvd case, and as the article is written using 'seasons', not 'volumes', i believe it should be split up into seasons 4 and 5 Scotty.n 00:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey you not read the previous posts? This guide is according to the region one format for the series, and since it was only mislabled season 5 in some other regions then it shall remain as the 30 episode season 4 that it actually is, which can be verified, as stated above, on the familyguy.com website.... Grande13

Although the wewbsite you say to look at( ^ ) says only 27 episodes for Season 4?? In the UK (& elsewhere??) season 5 runs from "PTV" to "Griffin Family History" and is only 14 epsiodes long.. surely it should be explained somewhere in the article that different regions have different season numbers?? ~Aurelius~

Well they are a bit behind on updating the official website, although the guide on wikipedia has filled in the rest. If you want to make comments you can now do so on the individual season pages, but the current season is 5 and season 4 consisted of episodes North by North Quahog all the way through the Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure. Grande13

[edit] Adding the Rest of the Pictures to Season 3

Can you please add the Rest of the Pictures to Season 3?--Jsalims 13:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Needed

Okay, the episode articles need cleaning up a bit. For one thing, the guy that captioned all the pictures seems to have a very tenuous grasp on the English language. And for another, the episode descriptions for season four are poorly-written and confusing. Seriously guys, they're looking worse than Little Britain's wikiquote page. *rimshot* 80.41.44.251 19:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The picture quality

I suppose it doesn't matter for this article, but for the linked episode articles some of the pictures look very crappy, like someone forgot to apply auto contrast or auto brightness or something (look at the picture in One If by Clam, Two If by Sea, for example). On the other hand, see how vibrant the picture in Sibling Rivalry (Family Guy) looks! Michiganotaku 17:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow, that looks beautiful (the picture in "Sibling Rivalry"). I'm going to have to ask whoever uploaded what they did to make it look so nice. Cromulent Kwyjibo 21:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 5 airdates

Hey guys, I just noticed that Stewie Loves Lois, and Mother Tucker got switched. I was wondering where you found this info, I checked at Familyguy.com and there was nothing new.--Fish 01:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The schedule or upcoming events for september shows the episode order for the first three episodes and states the premiere is Stewie Loves Lois - Grande13

thanks, for some reason it didn't show up last night. I see it now though.--Fish 22:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Details on Season 5 Finale and Season 6 Premiere

Yes its a bit early, but since the information is available it should be updated, so please dont change without further discussion here.

From Greg Colton (Rare Hero) on damnyouall.net

"...The one they've been calling the 100th episode is actually the 99th (Part 2, the '07 season premiere is really 100) ....and - the 3 episodes that made the DVD Movie aren't being counted"

so its appears the offical count is off by 3 then meaning the advertised 100th episode is really 103 - Grande13

I'm still skeptical of damnyouall.net. The official familyguy.com has its own blog. Cromulent Kwyjibo 23:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

yes most people probably shouldnt be trusted on damnyouall.net, however there are a few exceptions, one being Greg Colton (Rare Hero username) as he is one of the directors of family guy, and it has been confirmed that Rare hero is actually Colton, so the information is pretty reliable Grande13.

[edit] what happened?

Why are some of the episodes empty, they weren't empty before? Pece Kocovski 13:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Because the person that added them provided no source, if a source is found, then they will be added back

What do you mean, "no source"!? why would you need a source, there episodes of a cartoon??????

Because without a source anyone could just make up some episodes and add them. A source could be a quote, article, or anything like that. Snotplinkoid though is not completely legit, while some of his titles may end up being correct, he's been known to add random false info onto pages. He recently added episodes for American dad using stories from past family guy episodes and was just changing the characters names for American Dad characters. Thats why material that doesnt have some sort of source can't be used for episodes to air in the future.

[edit] Change

Hey, can I change the cutural references? Like what they did in Planet Family Guy? :C

[edit] Season 4/5 Confusion

there is a lot of confusion of the fact where season 5 starts and season 4 ends. I have checked other websites and they say that season 5 begins with 'Model Misbehaviour' so i thought we should explain the confusion.

Its already noted at the top of the episode list page about the gaps between episodes

220.101.137.152 06:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Mase 21/9 16:15

I was thinking the same thing. aI thought this season was the fourth when its the 5th.74.195.3.11 00:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Title Change

In an interview with Alex Borstein, she states that her book and episode of the same name "It Takes A Village Idiot, And I Married One" are both coming out in the spring. She originally stated on her website a few months ago that she was writing an episode tentatively named "Lois Pewtershmidt Griffin", that would coincide with a book release. this is why I have updated the title.--Fish 05:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Take Away

Should we take Stewie B. Goode, Bango Was His Name Oh! and Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure away? Because they don't show it on http://www.familyguy.com/ or other websites! They don't even show it in the Volume Four box set! (67.83.168.230 00:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC))

Its should be included in season 4 and should be considered the finale to that season. It was initially assumed that the 3 tv versions would make there way to a season dvd set, but it has to yet to be known if they will be included on a future release

[edit] Episode article section order discussion

This is very likely the first time this is being formally discussed. In the past, the most important guidelines on this came from the user who was foundational to the articles on individual Family Guy episodes, and that user is User:Cromulent Kwyjibo.

The two major trends for these articles have been: addition of infoboxes and extreme PowerPointization (indiscriminate use of bullet points even when paragraphs might make more sense). The first is a good thing, the latter is bad. Bullet points give deletionists ammo in the argument that these articles are little more than fancruft repositories.

By placing notes before cultural references, and limiting notes to those items that contribute to an understanding of each episode in the context of the entire oeuvre, I hope that these articles can be steered more towards becoming encyclopedic and insightful windows on these little masterpieces.

The idea that section headings should be "alphabetized" is a misguided confusion. As Robert Happelberg pointed out, that applies to categories, like "Category:Fictional blacks." Section headings go as is more logical to the topic in question.

I volunteer to go through each of these articles, as I have already begun to do, and clean up various things. But as I do have a day job and a class, I can only do a handful of episodes at a time, or at most an entire season. Plus there are other topic areas in Wikipedia that I keep watch of. Anton Mravcek 00:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

sounds good, just make sure you do the same to everything...I'll fix the format for the episodes that have yet to come, so just work on the ones that have aired Grande13 01:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I look at the article on the Odyssey and I think that's pretty much what the TV episode articles ought to aim for in terms of quality. Putting the notes up is something that might help in this direction, but more thoughtful edits are needed. That will take careful review of the canon (e.g., watching the episodes) and reflection upon them. Cromulent Kwyjibo 00:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

We also need to distinguish carefully what belongs in those sections and what doesn't. Given the huge amounts of poorly written fancruft that have barnacled on those pages, it's a difficult and time-consuming process. In my opinion,

• Notes contain inter-episode continuity and subtle factual errors that are not revealed as such by the humor.
• Cultural reference are references to pop culture, but need to be grouped into paragraphs according to what is being alluded to
• Trivia is stuff that only hardcore fans and certain highly specialized academics are likely to care about.

We must also take care not to simply copy press releases verbatim. Not that we'd get sued or anything, it's just so that we can look at ourselves in the mirror. ShutterBugTrekker 23:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TWO-PART

There's another miniseries coming up in 2007. Its about Stewie getting a grip on reality as he thinks Rupert is real thanks to Brian. Peter, Lois, Cleveland all end up in jailed after neighborhood cable and mail robbery. This is all tentative as they started production for season 6. It's title is Stewie Kills Lois (1)74.195.3.11 00:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Why are these miniseries episodes listed four episodes into the 6th season? The 'Lois Kills Stewie' episode is listed as 'a continuation of the fifth season's finale episode. ', so I'm confused Expert10 23:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

production ran behind this season and the two parter will now just be a part of season 6. There will only be 18 episodes of season 5 as indicated by the episodes list. the official family guy blog has more details Grande13

[edit] Australian Seasons of Family Guy

Reading this article, I have noticed something. The Australian seasons have been split differently to the US seasons. Any reason why this might be? The Australian DVD releases information can be found at these web pages from EzyDVD:

• Season One
• Season Two
• Season Three
• Season Four
• Season Five

Looks to me that Season four (US) has been split up into two seasons for Australia. Does any other countries do this? Is it worth including in the article that this is the situation for Region 4 releases of Family Guy? Thanks for any clarification I may receive. --Lakeyboy 01:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

This can be found in detail on the Family Guy DVDs webpage. While the DVDS for austrailia are labeled as slightly different seasons it is just due to the marketing team for Fox over there. Season four was split into two dvd releases and for some reason those regions decided to divide it into 2 seasons even though everything official was saying it was one big 30 episode season 4. Regardless, you could still work on updating some of the info over there at the Family Guy DVDs page, but in reality they are on the 5th season as well broadcast wise, although the scheduling overthere has gaps that were much longer than were found in the US markets Grande13 01:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I used to live there. Australia, does it to give them more time to edit newer shows that have yet to be broadcast. One episode they skipped entirely.74.195.3.11 01:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

not really, I believe it has more to do with broadcasting rights and finding a free time and channel to air the episodes on. Grande13 01:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It is not just seasons 4 and 5 that are different. Our season OWene DVD has 14 episodes, even though this page says season one only has seven. These extra seven episodes apear to be rendomly selected episodes from season two. Amazonis 05:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I didnt think they choose them randomly as they just released the DVDS by production seasons, which in that case season one is 15 eps or so long. I believe this is all explained on the DVDS page as well Grande13 11:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

the family guy logo file is being replaced with a PNG version. please could you find any instances of the JPG version and replace them with the PNG version?

[edit] Link to discussion about image deletions

Please note that a number of images used on this page have been nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2006 December 30 (use the table of contents to locate the discussion on that page). I believe that community involvement should be solicited. Please note that to be a constructive discussion will require more then just "don't delete them", "they are fair use" or "get rid of them" - it requires considered reasoning. Also, please keep in mind WP:NPA.--Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 16:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

In short, the issue is that a number of screenshot images have the big "Planet Family Guy" watermark clearly visible in the lower left. IMO this is inappropriate for Wikipedia, and the images should be easy to replace, so they should be deleted. Mangojuice^talk 16:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

after you find the replacements go ahead and delete them Grande13

[edit] Episode Descriptions

I can understand the image controversy (sort of) but can we at least keep the episode descriptions? There's no point in keeping this list if we have to go by the (already vague) episode titles alone. D4S 03:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

First of all its a list, as you can see in the title, so it does have all the info found in a list. anyways you can see the pictures and descriptions if you click on each seasons individual page Grande13

This list looks bland without the descriptions, and I doubt anyone wants to go through so many links to finally find the episode they're looking for. Plus, featured episode lists (like South Park) have descriptions. D4S 06:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I found it to both look more appealing and be easier to navigate when it was in the more simplistic Simpsons page list style. All the fields are uniform in size where as with the pictures and plot descriptions, inconsistent image sizes or text would cause field distortion. It also loads and scrolls much smoother without tons of images. It was just much more professional. Generalleoff 14:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

There are many other sites that list the type of guide you are looking for with no descriptions. The Wikipedia guide really stands out as its a quick place to scan all the episode descriptions looking for the one you want, without having to click on each episode for a summary. Also, unlike the simpsons guide, all the family guy pictures are relatively the same size, and until family guy has a few more seasons having the more compact form isnt really necessary Grande13

[edit] Pictures

You know those great pictures with shading? those arene't screenshots, the are actualy drawings from Seth, the creator. of Family guy. The drawings start from season 4.

Don't beleve me? Watch the episode and find out for yourself.

Still don't beleve me? then take a good look on the drawing and you'll find Seth's name and last name. (24.184.46.20 16:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC))

There are times when one format is more appropriate over the other. Simpsons is a 18-ish season show with so many episodes as to be practically unnecessary. Using a condensed format there is not only appropriate, it's required. With a show like Family Guy, which has run just barely past the norm for animated series, a more expanded episode format is appropriate. When this show hits ten seasons, condensing may be appropriate. Until then, bigger is better. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 19:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

What the **** are you talking about?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (24.184.46.20 16:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Scaffolding showing

We got some 'scaffolding' showing in a lot of the episode pages. The bottom of the main infobox has "{{{prev}}}" and "{{{next}}}" instead of links to the previous and next episodes. There's another infobox at the bottom that shows up correctly. I want to consult here before making any changes en masse. Cromulent Kwyjibo 22:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stewie Kills Lois (2) Season 6 episode

It says in the description of that episode that it is the continuation of the season finale from season 5. Is that the case or is the description incorect? Help me out please. Zweinstein 02:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season 1/2

The 7 episodes of season 1 that aired alongside season 2 episodes are all mixed in with the season 2 list. These should be moved to the season 1 section (Antriver 16:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC))

they are orderd based on how they aired...if you look closer you see that the 7 eps of season 1 ended in may, and then the next season started in september, which is when new seasons start... Grande13
