FOX recently declined to air an abortion episode of Family Guy (originally scheduled to air in the upcoming season) due to the sensitive subject matter.

The complete live table read will also be included on the DVD. Below you can view two preview clips, along with an interview with MacFarlane.

Ferrell, Pitt and Hill join ‘Oobermind’ cast

DreamWorks Animation has announced that Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill will voice characters in the upcoming “Oobermind,” set for release in fall 2010.

Ferrell replaces Robert Downey Jr. in the title role of a supervillain who imagines all his dastardly dreams coming true after defeating good-guy rival Metro Man (Pitt), only to find life quite boring without an adversary. To fill the void, Oobermind creates a new superhero, Titan (Hill), who also wants to be bad, forcing Oobermind to switch sides. Also part of the cast is Tina Fey who plays a reporter keeping track of all the superhero drama.

Oobermind joins DreamWorks Animation’s other 3D animated films “Shrek Forever After” and “How to Train Your Dragon,” both of which will also be released in 2010.

Cartoon Network cancels ‘Chowder’

Chowder creator C. H. Greenblatt has confirmed that Carton Network has canceled the show, currently in post-production of its third season. Greenblatt jokes on his blog, “I haven’t had a break like this in a long, long time. Now I can relax and do all sorts of fun things like finish Final Fantasy XII since I need something to quell my occasional World of Warcraft tremors.”

Don’t count Greenblatt out though, as he’s got new show ideas already in development: “Chowder has opened up a lot of awesome possibilities for me, and creatively I’m feeling more inspired than ever. There are some new ideas I’m working on that will hopefully find a good home somewhere in the next year.”

Lastly, Greenblatt addresses Chowder’s future: “We’re still finishing up lots of good episodes. I think you’ll see that we hit a really good groove third season. My biggest worry before we were cancelled was what would happen to the crew, but luckily, a large chunk of them got hired over at Disney on a new project.”
