SETH MACFARLANE - $100MILLION FAMILY GUY !

I PREDICT FAMILY GUY WILL SUCK BALLS FROM THIS POINT ON !


"Family Guy" creator Seth McFarlane has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox that makes him the highest paid writer/producer working in television.

According to Reuters, the new deal, which has been in negotiations for over 2 1/2 years, is presumed to be worth over $100 million. The deal covers "Family Guy" "American Dad" and a new "Family Guy" spinoff called, "The Cleveland Show," as well as new media development, DVD sales and merchandising revenue from everything.

Oh yeah, and it's also retroactive to one year ago.

Reuters chronicled McFarlane's amazing success story:

Ten years ago, fresh out of college, he pitched to Fox an idea for an
animated comedy based on characters from his thesis and his sequel to it.

The network and 20th TV gave him $50,000 to make a presentation. After working day and night for six months doing virtually all the animation and drawing in his home, he created "Family Guy." The network picked it up, and at 24, MacFarlane became the youngest executive producer/showrunner ever.



"I get a lot of pleasure out of making shows," MacFarlane said. "It's a bonus to be getting paid well for it, and it's a double bonus to be getting paid exorbitantly for it."

McFarlane's deal will keep him at FOX through 2012.

WGA STRIKE - HOW DOES THIS EFFECT THE RICH GUYS ?



THE COOLNESS OF DAVID LETTERMAN AFFIRMED !!!
Deadline Hollywood is reporting that David Letterman will pay the entire staff of "the Late Show" with his own money while the show is shut down during the writers strike. CBS stopped paying the staff when the show halted production last week. NBC is trying the same tactic to put pressure on the writers, and has threatened to lay off the entire staff of "the Tonight Show" unless the writers come back to work. Deadline says Letterman has committed to pay them at least through the end of the year.

"Dave's not doing this to get good press, which is why it hasn't been reported for almost two days," a source tells me. "This is really significant because, as opposed to all of the other shows, this money comes out of Dave's own pocket."

THE UNCOOLNESS OF FOX TV AND RUPERT MURDOCH


November 14, 2007 —

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox's animated comedy "Family Guy" will continue with original episodes done without the participation of creator/executive producer Seth MacFarlane, sources said.

The hit show's last episode that was finished before the writers strike aired Sunday. Fox and producing studio 20th Century Fox TV had been faced with the option of contining the show without MacFarlane, who has been on the picket lines, or stop production and go to repeats. "Family Guy" originally was scheduled to air fresh episodes through the end of the November sweep.

After the rally at Fox on Friday, where he was one of the speakers, MacFarlane said the studio could proceed with completing new episodes but that he had advised them against it.

"I hope they don't do it," he said.

20th TV had no comment on the matter Tuesday but confirmed that it remains in production on new episodes.

As of Tuesday night, the first episode finished without MacFarlane's blessing had been delivered to Fox.

Sources said that episode is one of three very close to completion, with others in various stages of production.

FAMILY GUY - "POLITICAL FANTASY" ? ? ?

Death allows Peter to go back in time, but when he returns to the present he discovers he is married to Molly Ringwald and Lois is married to Quagmire. An alternate version of the world is presented in which Al Gore is president, Osama is no longer a problem, flying cars run on vegetable oil, universal healthcare exists, crime is virtually non-existent, education is well-funded, and Dick Cheney the chairman of Haliburton shot Supreme Court Justice Scalia and the bullet went right through him and killed Karl Rove, and Tucker Carlson. Basically, it's paradise on earth. Enjoy the fantasy.
