Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy heads to DVD & Blu-ray

Fox announced today that they will be bringing Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy to DVD and Blu-ray April 21. The release will feature 54 minutes of cartoons, including never before seen, exclusive new episodes that are “too outrageous for TV or the internet” according to Fox. Apparently the suits at Fox haven’t heard of a certain video that involved a cup. No word of bonus meterials, but one would imagine that with such a short runtime, Fox will be kind enough to include tons of extras to make this a worthwhile purchase.
