For its final DVD Emmy screener, “Family Guy” is taking on its biggest target yet: The “Game of Thrones” juggernaut.
The “Family Guy” mailer, now being sent to voters, features Peter Griffin, looking a lot like Jon Snow on the Season 8 poster of “Game of Thrones.” At his foot, Brian the dog is doing his best direwolf cosplay. (Scroll to the bottom to see the full screener image.)
“Due to a printing error, if you wish to vote for ‘Game of Thrones,’ please check the ‘Family Guy’ box on the animation ballot,” the screener reads.
“If you look very closely, amidst the artwork is a Starbucks cup,” joked “Family Guy” executive producer Rich Appel.
Appel said the show ran the screener gag by HBO to make sure they were Ok with it — and to make clear that, no, “Family Guy” was not actually condoning voter fraud.

After previously foreseeing the downfalls of Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, “Family Guy” believes that it’s uncovered another Hollywood bigwig whose dirty secrets about to be exposed. 20th Century Fox Television’s clever Emmy Fyc mailer was recently shipped to TV academy members with this declaration: “We predicted Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein. Open DVD to see who’s next.” Inside the package is … a mirror. Yes, that means You are Hollywood’s next sexual deviant!
Four-time Best Animated Program nominee “Family Guy” has yet to prevail in the top Emmy category, though its creator Seth MacFarlane took home three trophies for Best Character Voice-Over Performance and another for Best Music and Lyrics (2002). TV’s reigning Best Animated Program Emmy winner is fellow Fox comedy “Bob’s Burgers” (2014 and 2017).

Sunday’s episode of Family Guy, the first in its 16-season history to air without commercials, invited us to become flies on the wall of a Stewie Griffin therapy session — and boy did we learn a lot.
Or maybe I should say we had many of our preconceived notions about the Griffin’s youngest, most evil member confirmed to us — from his sexuality (“‘Fluid’ is a something I hear being tossed around a lot,” he said before questioning whether “heterosexual” is even a real word) to his fake British accent, which his actual British therapist (voiced by Ian McKellen) saw right through.

Step Up 3
Let me start off this review by saying fairly that the film “Step Up 3″ is definitely not my cup of tea. But I don’t really think the movie is aimed towards myself, but rather people that are interested and participate in the human ritual of rhythmic motion known as dancing.
Here’s the story: Moose (Adam G. Sevani) & his lifelong best friend Camille (Alyson Stoner) have just started school at Nyu. Moose’s parents are saying goodbye & couldn’t be happier that their son has set aside his foolish desire to dance to instead focus on earning his Engineering degree. No sooner do his parents leave him be does Moose stumble onto an impromptu dance-off. Moose injects himself into the contest & his moves catch the eye of Luke (Rick Malambri), an amateur filmmaker & dancer who heads up The House of Pirates, a local dance squad...

I love Family Guy. I love Star Wars. But for some reason, when you put the two together, the result is….something, something, something, mediocre.
I was underwhelmed by Blue Harvest, the Family Guy’s first effort to poke fun at George Lucas’ saga, and I feel the same way about Something, Something, Something, Dark Side—a 54-minute parody of The Empire Strikes Back. Empire is my favorite movie of all time, and it’s obvious that executive producer Seth MacFarlane, writer Kirker Butler, director Dominic Polcino (who also helmed Blue Harvest) and the Family Guy cast & crew love Star Wars: Episode V, too. If you watch Family Guy, you know that the show has made Star Wars references before and that these guys know that galaxy far, far away as well as anybody, but I think the problem with both Something and Blue Harvest is that they’re parodies.
