'Family Guy' Staff Back at Work - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Once again, rumors of the demise of "Family Guy" appear to have been greatly exaggerated.

Scribes on FOX's apparently unkillable animated comedy returned to work this week after a two-month hiatus that led many naysayers to suggest that "Family Guy" might be down for the count once again.

Initially scheduled to kick off writing on the sixth season of "Family Guy" back in late October, the show's staff was sent home as 20th Century Fox TV attempted to iron out a new deal with series creator/voice/executive producer Seth MacFarlane.

While both industry trade papers agree that MacFarlane fresh pact with the studio remains unconsummated, the "Family Guy" writers were called back into the offices on Tuesday (Jan. 2) and started breaking stories on Wednesday.

MacFarlane, who also executive produces "American Dad" and the upcoming "The Winner" for FOX, is expected to have a lucrative deal in place soon.

Wow, I didn't know they were on hiatus. I hope Seth got a good deal.
FOX owes it to him.
