The intelligent design of the Family Guy
But on the DVDs you can get poopy?
The nice thing about the DVD releases is that they're really financially important, so we've taken a hint from that and made them creatively important, too. So we have one edit for the DVD and another for the network airing. It's great that there's a venue for that. This release is an experiment, and if it does well, the next one might be a theatrical release.
Any idea of what that would be like?
It's something we haven't figured out yet. It's difficult to translate something that works in a half-hour to a two-hour format. Remember the Family Ties movie from the 1980s?
Unfortunately, no.
The show was a wonderfully written family comedy, but the TV movie was in Russia, and somehow [in the plot] they got possession of a microfilm. It could have been James Bond instead of the Seavers. So we don't want to do that. –Vicky Hallett
