Ted, the prequel to Seth MacFarlane’s movies, is one of Peacock’s most successful original series. So they almost immediately picked it up for a second season. But that was almost two years ago. Since then, there has been no word about when it would debut. Today, we finally got that answer.
It’s 1994, and senior year of high school is underway for Ted the foul-mouthed teddy bear and his best friend, likable but awkward John Bennett. Together they live in a working-class Boston home with John’s parents (Matty and Susan) and cousin (Blaire). Matty is a blustering, blue-collar Bostonian who sees himself as the unequivocal boss of the house and doesn’t like anyone challenging him, particularly his liberal-minded niece. Susan is kind, selfless, and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family. Blaire is an outspoken college student who often finds herself at odds with her more traditional-minded relatives.
Executive producers, Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, said, “We hope you enjoy these eight somewhat filthy, hopefully funny heartfelt episodes about a young man, his talking teddy bear, and their highly dysfunctional family. On the off-chance the series is not your cup of tea, a great way to get us back is to leave all the episodes playing to completion on multiple devices throughout the house. That’ll show us.”
Ted 2 will drop all eight episodes on March 5th. You don’t have to wait until then to show them. You can watch the highlarious first season on Peacock now. You will want to show them several times because it seriously should be illegal to be that funny!!!
‘Tis the season for people to watch holiday movies on the Hallmark Channel and Lifetime. But after watching a few of them, you need a break from all of that holiday cheer and sweetness.
Well, now you have that palette cleanser with Disney’s Hulu’s Family Guy’s Hallmark Channel’s Lifetime Familiar Holiday Movie.
It is the anti-Christmas movie. As in, it is a parody of all of those films with the same plot. She is a big city, single, career-oriented woman who goes to a small town and meets the perfect single man. Now, she has to decide whether or not to stay with him or go back home.
However, DHFGHCLFHM is not sweet and points out all the make-believe bullshit things that those movies do. And because of that, you will be laughing for 30 minutes straight.
And then when you are done, you can go back to watching those other happy holiday flicks and see how right or wrong the animated sitcom got it.
Then, when you need another break, you can rewatch Family Guy. And continue to repeat this TV viewing schedule until the New Year. That is when we can go back to our regularly scheduled programming.
My only complaint about this special episode is that some of the comparisons are no longer relevant to Hallmark and more accurately portray Great American Family. Because of that, Seth MacFarlane and the writers need to add GAC and Netflix movies to their viewing unpleasure before they start working on the sequel for next year. There has to be a sequel because the first film is so much fun!
Fox held Family Guy for the midseason, but that doesn’t mean the Griffins are not getting to celebrate Christmas with us. They are, and they are doing it on Hulu!
In Family Guy’s take on generic holiday movies, Lois, who works for Big Pie, travels to a small town in hopes of stealing Peter’s award-winning family secret pie recipe. Lainey Wilson is a guest star.
I don’t know why Fox likes holding Family Guy until the midseason. Therefore, I can’t wait until the network announces their midseason schedule. And today they did just that. So now I know when Seth MacFarlane takes over Sunday nights with The Griffins and American Dad!

One of the good things about an animated show is that no one ever dies. Well, almost no one. There have been a few deaths, and now there is one more character who has been erased.
Family Guy said goodbye to someone who has brought us a lot of laughs throughout the years. Who is it? It is Ernie, the Giant Chicken.
You might remember him from all of the epic fights that he has had with Peter Griffin since season 1. The ones that went on and on and on.
However, it was not Peter who took him out. Who was it? It was Meg, and we didn’t even see the fight that left Ernie without a head.
You see, she was dating his son, Nugget, and decided to move in with them when her father disapproved of their relationship. Then, when Ernie turned out to be like her dad, she turned him into Hot Ones food.
Now, you might be saying, but how do we really know he went to the chicken coop in the sky?
Executive producer Alec Sulkin told TV Line, “I think that the chicken has gone the way of all flesh. Honestly, I feel like we got so many great set pieces out of the giant chicken fighting with Peter that they became hard to top. It’s a lot to ask of our production crew, and we may have just gotten the best out of that character.”
While we might be saying goodbye to him, I hope that Nugget becomes obsessed with revenge and goes after the Griffins. Just so we can hear him say, “Hello! My Name is Nugget Chicken. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
