'Family Guy' Wants to Spoof 'The Sound Of Music,' but... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Musicals are never far from MacFarlane's mind and he has even entertained the notion of doing a spoof of "The Sound of Music" on "Family Guy." But the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization may put the kibosh on that idea.

"They don't allow lyric changes," MacFarlane said. "So we would have to use sound-alike songs, and I despise them. That's been the big hurdle. But it would be such fun."

McFarlame is TOO damn lazy! I could make a few SoM sound-alike songs!

Hell...I have an idea for a sound-alike song from films such as "The Three Caballeros" and "Rocky Horror"! (I'm hoping to use those on my show "Bertstown" if it's ever animated).
