| SDCC 2015: ‘Family Guy’ Panel & Official Trailer! |
|
Am I the only one who finds it hard to believe that Family Guy started in 1999 and is about to start it’s 14th (!!!) season? The show about a dysfunctional Rhode Island family, including a sociopathic baby with matricide on his mind, and a borderline alcoholic talking dog, found a committed audience, and gained a huge cult following on FOX. When the show was cancelled, fan demand led to a comeback and with it’s ridiculous brand of sophomoric, immature, and sexually suggestive humor, Family Guy has found its niche in the cultural zeitgeist of Americana. Like many shows on for as long as it’s been, many of the shows quotable lines are part of the lexicon.. What Bart Simpson did in the early 90s for “Cowabunga”, Family Guy has done for “Giggidy” and “IT’S GONNA RAIN!” Show creator and star Seth MacFarlane transitioned to a successful film writer/director (Ted/Ted 2), and even hosted the Academy Awards in 2013. Check out the panel discussion videos and trailer below.

| Must See: Real-Life Peter Griffin From ‘Family Guy’ Cosplay (Video) |
|
We’ve seen countless great cosplayers over the years, many of which put an incredible amount of time and detail into transforming themselves into their favorite fictional characters from movies, TV shows, comic books, video games, and more. But sometimes simple is best. This is the case with Robert Franzese, who realized one day that he could be a pretty convincing Peter Griffin from the hit animated comedy Family Guy, voiced on the show of course by creator Seth MacFarlane. A quick clothing change later, and it was so. Seriously, you have to see it to believe it. The clincher? He nails the voice. Many cosplayers deliver a perfect look, but it’s much more rare to find those who achieve flawless mimicry via an identical (or at least close) impression of a character’s voice. Check out a video of Franzese talking about cosplay—including a lovely reminder of one of the reasons why he and cosplayers around the world do what they do—and interacting with New York Comic-Con 2014 attendees below.
