| Season chronology | |
Family Guy's eighth season has been aired on the Fox network, and premiered on September 27, 2009 and ended on May 23, 2010. The series follows the Griffin family, a dysfunctional family consisting of father Peter, mother Lois, daughter Meg, son Chris, baby Stewie and Brian, the family pet, who reside in their hometown of Quahog. The showrunners for the eighth production season are Chris Sheridan, David Goodman, Danny Smith, Mark Hentemann, Steve Callaghan and series creator Seth MacFarlane.
For the first time since season three's "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," Fox has banned another Family Guy episode from airing. The episode, "Partial Terms of Endearment", centered on Lois becoming a surrogate mother and being conflicted over whether or not to abort her best friend's baby, after her best friend dies, will not air on Fox due to its touchy subject matter. However, "Partial Terms of Endearment" will be released exclusively on DVD and will possibly air on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up.
Production
Production for the eighth season began in 2008, during the airing of the seventh season. The season was executive produced by series regulars Chris Sheridan, David Goodman, Danny Smith, Mark Hentemann and Steve Callaghan, along with series creator Seth MacFarlane. The showrunners for the eighth season were Hentemann and Callaghan.
The main cast consisted of Seth MacFarlane (Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Quagmire, Tom Tucker, among others), Alex Borstein (Lois Griffin, Loretta Brown, Tricia Takanawa, Barbara Pewterschmidt, among others), Mila Kunis (Meg Griffin), Seth Green (Chris Griffin, Neil Goldman, among others) and Mike Henry (Cleveland Brown, Herbert, among others).[2]
