Actress Mila Kunis has famously voiced the character of Meg Griffin since , when Family Guy premiered its second season. Chris Griffin is voiced by Seth Green, who himself created the adult-leaning animated series Robot Chicken , a series that is closely associated with Family Guy for its similar, brash humor and target audience.
Everyone knows Family Guy as a successful animated TV show on a major broadcast network, but the truth is that, throughout the years, Family Guy was actually canceled twice due to some dissatisfaction from the network. The first time the show was canceled was right after its second season, which aired between and This caused Family Guy to go off the air for over a year, but the show eventually made its way back to Fox.
The second time the show was canceled was even longer, between and , a timeframe that happened within the third and fourth seasons of Family Guy. During that three-year hiatus, Family Guy kept doing incredible numbers in DVD sales and Adult Swim ratings, to the point where Fox took notice and decided to revive the series. A recurring character on Family Guy , Death itself has played a major role in several episodes of the series.
The reason behind this recurring theme was Seth MacFarlane being a huge fan of suspenseful radio shows from the s and s.
However, as Family Guy progressed, it became evident that the show had to move on from this idea. The U. We all know that Family Guy can be a little off-color, to say the least, despite airing on a major broadcast network.
For this reason, nearly all Family Guy episodes have two versions: a clean, safe-for-TV version, and an uncensored, late-night version that is released on DVD and through Adult Swim reruns. This means that when a new episode of Family Guy first premieres, it is actually not being shown in its entirety by Fox, as the show needs to be appropriate for a Sunday night crowd.
While it is unfortunate that Family Guy has to go through this sort of censorship, the reasoning behind it is understandable. It also creates an appeal for fans to re-watch episodes later on DVDs and reruns.
Though nearly all episodes of Family Guy have two cuts — a safe-for-TV version and an unrated version — there was one particular episode that Fox deemed so controversial that it decided to not air it at all, no matter how producers edited it. What was so controversial about it? It performed so poorly that Fox cut back its initial order of 22 episodes to In addition to appearing in live-action projects, giving voice to animated characters, and controlling the Robot Chicken universe, Green also helps other people get their pet projects made—for example, he's an executive producer on SuperMansion.
Sort of like a geriatric The Awesomes meets a comic Watchmen, it's a stop-motion animated series about the League of Freedom, a once-mighty superhero collective whose members are now quite old and not quite as powerful. Green's production company Stoopid Monkey makes the episodes, which are distributed on Sony's Crackle streaming service. Green also has a recurring role as one of the series' and real life's biggest bad guys: Adolf Hitler.
The concept was so bizarre, it actually worked: Camp WWE. It's set at a summer camp, where McMahon is naturally the director, and WWE stars past and present are counselors and campers alike—except they're also little kids. Green created the show and produces it, but he doesn't provide any voice work. Seasoned industry vets were hired, although the kid versions of some of the wrestlers are portrayed by the wrestlers themselves , including Sgt.
Slaughter and Ric Flair. In , Green was signing autographs for an event at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles while Clare Grant, a filmmaker and actress who's also part of the web video collective Team Unicorn , was there to take photographs.
They met again at Comic-Con and realized how much they had in common —they liked the same geeky TV shows, comic books, and toys, and put in the same elaborate order at In-N-Out Burger. Green says they really fell in love during a two-week Robot Chicken touring roadshow. They had their wedding in May , followed by a reception at which each table was covered in action figures.
Green seems to be content, and rightfully so, cranking out Robot Chicken and Family Guy until somebody tells him not to anymore and still getting out in front of the camera on occasion.
It is certainly fair to say that the actors who participated in shows like Friends and Modern Family have expressed a sensation of closeness that developed in a relatively shorter ten seasons of filming. A post shared by Seth MacFarlane macfarlaneseth. Are the cast members close? Do they spend any time together outside of the studio? What kinds of friendships have been forged— or lost —in the last twenty years?
We have done of bit of digging and compiled some info to give fans an idea of exactly what goes down between the voices behind Family Guy, after the audio is switched off. A post shared by Alex Borstein alexborstein.
