The Family Guy animated television show was supposed to team up with Microsoft to promote its latest operating system, Windows 7. The Family Guy Windows 7 special was scheduled to air on November 8, 2009 at 8:30 PM (ET/PT) on Fox. The working title for the Window 7 special was to be called Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show. The show was to air without any commercial breaks and would instead feature Windows 7 promotions throughout the show.http://www.pcworld.com/article/173646/family_guy_to_shill_for_windows_7.html
However, on October 27, 2009 Microsoft announced that it was pulling out of the Family Guy special. The decision was made after Microsoft executives watched a live taping of the animated show before a studio audience. A statement was released from Microsoft that "...after reviewing an early version of the variety show it became clear that the content was not a fit with the Windows brand."http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=8923276
The Family Guy special reportedly contained jokes about deaf people, the Holocaust, and incest.http://www.pcworld.com/article/174443/microsoft_pulls_out_of_family_guy_special.htmlCharacter Quotes
