When Seth McFarlain's "Family Guy" The premiere of January 31, 1999, after Super Bowl XXXIII (where Denver Broncos at Elon Elway stabbed, "Yicks", Chris Chandler, led by Atlanta Sokoli), received an artificial rating of bumps immediately from the gate that was to be difficult to hold. Indeed, after finishing his first season at the 33rd in Nielsen's rating (with only seven episodes), the show's viewership evaporated during its second season and fell even more during its third season. Almost no one was watching, so Fox pulled out the 2002 series. Three years later, thanks to the rise of popularity driven by the adult swimming union, Fox gave the Family Guy another shot, and it seems never, sometimes leaving. This may or may not delight you.

In any case, we spent 26 years with "Family Guy" in our lives, and while the state of the world was drastically dropped during this period, you cannot blame for all our miseries at the feet of the unwanted and violent Animated McFarlin series. Of course, it became a worthless warehouse and, worse, repetitive panties (unlike away the superior "Simpsons", What is just a gaming water), but for the most part, aims at the right cultural and political goals.

After 23 seasons of "Family Guy", it is interesting to look at the start of the show to see how much it has changed. For the fans of the series, it has never been enough to rethink the pilot. Their world Grail has always been a 16-minute, approximately animated terrain that McFarlin earned to earn green light from Fox. Seven minutes of this demo episode were included in the DVDs of the show "Volume 2", but the whole Shebang passed unseen until recently. You can now watch the entire mini-pilot on YouTube. How is it different from the 1999 pilot, and why was it for so long under the wrappers?

Last week, The lost media wiki McFarlin's 16-minute pilot discovered on animator Robert Paonson's website (Insert jokes "fight club" here). If you are wondering how it could pass for so long, it is because Paunson does not set it up by 2022. As for how different from the official pilot, "death has a shadow", the narrative is the same. It's just shorter and not that funny.

The episode is still revolving around the head starter, which is fired from its quality control at the toy factory for sleeping, resulting in a series of dangerous toys sent to stores. As in "Death there is a shadow", he is a briefly unauthorized user of a social check -up error, giving him the right to a weekly payment of $ 150,000. The early formula of the show is there: the kids are not so sharply drawn, but you have a steward constantly trying to kill Lois. The biggest absence is easily a man, who crashed through the Wallid of the courtroom where Peter is sentenced to two years in prison for bad abuse of well-being. In essence, collapses are missing.

This 16-minute episode cost only $ 50,000, and, well, it looks. But if you are a fan of a "family Guy" with a great time, it is a mandatory viewing. Also a reminder is that the play was earlier damn funny before it was run over the endless sequence of dense fungi (and jokes stolen by the "Simpsons" and "South Park").
