Despite “Family Guy’s” creator, Seth MacFarlane, being involved in the writers’ strike, the Fox network has decided to continue producing episodes. This seems like a bad idea – sure, it’s an animated show, but MacFarlane also provides voices for many of the show’s characters.

The last original episode of “Family Guy” just aired on November 5th, before the strike started. Fox and the studio, 20th Century Fox, could opt to continue with reruns or do the show without MacFarlane. Seems they chose the latter and will continue producing episodes without MacFarlane — who provides the voices of Peter, Brian and Stewie Griffin.
