Up until very recently, the last episode of the current season, Season 7, was meant to be Something Something Darkside, the next Star Wars spoof. Now the last episode is titled "420" and it's plot line is "After Brian is arrested for drug possession, he launches a campaign to legalize marijuana. Mayor West passes the law, and the whole town goes to pot." - http://en.wikipedia....on_7:_2008-2009

This is no doubt due to the sudden media surge.

Seth McFarlane has frequently included marijuana in his shows and they are never in much of a negative light. I am hoping that he is as pro pot as I think he is, and will use the huge fan base of Family Guy to spread a legalization message.

No matter what...the pot snowball just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

Wow, I can't wait!

With his method of comedy, I would be shocked if Mcfarlane wasn't pro-ganja!

Ahhhh nice I can't wait. I love watching this show while high and i bet this episode will be awesome

okay and seth macfarlane does smoke pot... or at least he used to

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has vowed to stop smoking marijuana because it makes him too paranoid.

MacFarlane signed a $100 million deal with 20th Century Fox in May, in a move which will make him the highest-paid writer-producer in television - and he's determined to increase his productivity by swearing off illegal drugs.

He says, "I don't smoke much pot anymore. One of the last times I was stoned, I was convinced that I would die unless I kept moving my body. So I sat there, baked, waving my arms around like a crazy person.

I'll be blazed out of my skull for this episode. Also for a potential canoe trip down a river blazing on 4/20. :D

If Seth McFarlane doesn't get stoned to create family guy I don't know what kind of drug he's using

You can watch Family Guy episodes on H U L U . C O M with single 30-second commercial breaks instead of a whole series of them.

According to tv.com, the overview is:
When Brian gets busted for possession of marijuana, he starts a campaign to legalize the drug. Mayor West passes the law, which turns the townspeople into a bunch of potheads.

I'm kinda worried about the last part, "which turns the townspeople into a bunch of potheads." I have a feeling they may show some negative light on potheads. Hope I'm wrong though and as a HUGE fan of Family Guy, I can't wait for this episode.

Well here are some examples of past pot humor from Seth

They aren't super negative..I predict the "potheads" will all be red eyed people with the munchies. Nothing stupid, like killing themselves.

As much as I love family guy, I am going to be vastly disappointed if it portrays stoners as 'lazy' or 'stupid' or furthers any stoner stereotyping, or greatly over-states the effects of marijuana.

He'll probably make it sarcastic (like pretend to be anti-pot, similar to Colbert pretending to be ultra-conservative). For example, the whole town starts smoking "too much" pot and everyone gets the munchies and eats out the towns food supply... something random and exaggerated like that. But everyone will get the point. :D

There has been a lot of talk of legalization recently, and I hope it is leading somewhere. In reality it doesn't matter, but it certainly helps.

Of course McFarlane is pro pot, did you see the 100th episode special? I think he was blazed during that one :smoking:

I think Matt Groening, Seth McFarlane and the rest of them are all potheads like us :smoke:

Yeah, there's an episode where they're in Amsterdam, sitting in a Coffee House and they get a contact high. I think it's 'Road To Europe' it's called - I'm sure it's the first 'Road To...' episode, anyway.

I was really hoping South Park would make an episode about this issue, and especially in Colorado where weed has been decriminalized. Towlie is a great stoner character too, and he would be great in episode about that. South Park is way better then Family guy. Hopefully this isn't more of Family guy's foolishness, and I hope it does not say untrue things about it. I just hope the whole episode isn't just some big stoner sterotype that would suck.:mad:

By the way South Park needs to bring mr. hankey, and towlie in a new episode.
