LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox is producing fresh episodes of its animated comedy "Family Guy" without the participation of its striking creator Seth MacFarlane, who does many of the main voices, sources said.

The last episode completed before the Writers Guild of America strike began November 5 aired Sunday. Fox and sibling studio 20th Century Fox TV had the choice of going into reruns or continuing the show without MacFarlane, whose outspoken defiance of his employers has made him a cause celebre for striking writers.
After a large writers rally outside the Fox lot on Friday, where he was one of the speakers, MacFarlane said the studio could proceed without him, though he hoped it would not.
20th TV had no comment on the matter Tuesday but confirmed that it remains in production on new episodes. The first episode finished without MacFarlane's blessing has been delivered to Fox. Sources said it is one of three very close to completion, with others in various stages of production.
In addition to executive-producing the show, MacFarlane voices the characters of Peter, Brian and Stewis Griffin, the male members of the hapless Rhode Island family at the core of the domestic satire.

How can u do that tho?? lol

I'm pretty sure that the voices have been recorded for some time now.. It's probably only the finishing touches they need and are going to do without the shows creator.. So I kinda can see why it pisses him off..

No, what I meant was that he and the writers had wrote those episodes, made the audio and sent them to the animators.. These shows (except south park) are made a long time before they are aired, because the animation takes so long.. So, as I've read in an interview with Seth, it seems that the episodes are all done, but that they need a final tjeck from the creator before they are air (something they have allways done).. Probably if some scenes have to be cut or something..
But apparently now, the two sides of writers and studios, have made another negotiation meeting on the Nov. 26, so let's hope that they make a fair deal this time, so the shows (especially Lost ;)) can proceed to be made full season..

damn that! I want this strike to last a long ass time. I have too much shit riding on it.
