While watching some American Football today I saw a commercial to buy Family Guy "Blue Harvest" on DVD. This was the season premier episode this year, and was an hour long spoof of Star Wars, and not a good one. Now they are selling this episode for $12.99 or $25 for the special edition with a poster and some other crap. I remember that Family Guy did this before with "Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story." They sold this as the "Family Guy Movie," and then used this episode as the season finale two years ago. There are also Subway commercials featuring Peter Griffin in it, and the trailer for the movie Jumper shows the kid at home watching Family Guy.
This got me to thinking that Family Guy will sell out to anyone at any time. I went to Amazon and searched for Family Guy DVDs and got 386 results. That seems a bit much for a show that has barely 100 episodes. They have Season 4 Part 1, Season 4 Part 2, The Best of Peter, The Best of Stewie, etc. I know you make shows for money, but selling out this extreme is a bit much.
