In early November, Fox was planning to run a Windows 7 themed/sponsored episode of Family Guy, only to have the entire thing axed by Microsoft once they saw how crass the content on Family Guy actually was. A few of those cancelled Windows 7-centric spots have nevertheless surfaced, and not surprisingly, they’re not terribly exciting […]

Comments Off on Microsoft pulls out of Windows 7 themed episode of Family Guy
After seeing a rough cut of a Windows 7 themed episode of Family Guy, Microsoft has axed the promotion/sponsorship over concerns that the subject matter of the episode was far too racy and offensive to be associated with the Windows brand.

On November 8th, Fox will air a Windows 7 themed/sponsored episode of Family Guy. Now what does such an episode entail?

Comments Off on MacBook sighting on “Michael and Michael Have Issues”
I usually don’t make a post every time I see an Apple computer floating around on a Hollywood set (though some readers might beg to differ), but when it comes to Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter, I’m admittedly shameless.
