SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION: TIGER+SARAH PALIN + FAMILY GUY = TRUE BLOOD

Now that the scandal is slowly blowing over, Tiger Woods is going to make a public apology for his recent tomfoolery tomorrow on live TV.  Seth Macfarlane toyed with the idea of mocking Tiger on Family Guy but decided to focus his attention on someone who, some might say, is susceptible to a wisp of innocent repartee with a recent episode depicting a girl with down's syndrome who goes on a date with Chris Griffin. Although the punch line was revolved around how demanding she was rather than her condition or that her mother was the Governor of Alaska...Family Guy is one of FX's favourites.  Behind True Blood. True Blood starts next week...There's your somewhat convoluted six degrees.

A MISANTHROPIST ON STAGE AND ON SCREEN IN LIFE

 Thespian and TV actor Damian Lewis has set aside his on-screen appearances to perform on the West End in a production A Misanthrope with Miss Knightly. But we at FX missed him on the small screen, so as of next month we're bringing Lewis back from the stage, as a misanthropist of some sort. 

Damian stars as Detective Charlie Crews in American cop show Life and season two starts Feb 16th.  Lewis' character was framed for a murder he didnt commit, sentenced to life in prison, but then released and compensated with a hell of a lotta cash.  He eats more than the required five a day and is a born again Zen believer.  However, he trusts no one and makes it his goal in this second chance at life to find out who framed him and why.  Hard hitting stuff, but its witty, gripping and its back with bang.

Life S2 Feb 16th 11pm

FOX INSIDER WELCOMES YOU BACK

So it's a new year and we're all already feeling under the weather, literally. Snow, sneezes and snappy commuters, it's never a good way to ring in the new year. But FX is here to make sure its a good one.  Seeing as we don't particularly want to go outside in the cold, turn on the telly, wrap up warm and make yourself a cuppa.  Laugh a long with Family Guy, puzzle your mind watching NCIS, grip your sofa's and jump on your partners when a vampire flashes across your screens on True Blood.

Let's make this year a happy year. Until next week, have a good weekend.

WE'RE NOT ON STRIKE, JUST HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Merry Christmas FX viewers!

Firstly, what a good year it has been for television. Especially following on from the strike, which really didnt do anyone any good.  We saw the launch of the fangtastic Alan Ball series True Blood. Likeable serial killer Dexter Morgan kept up appearances in his third season. Harvey Keitels perfomance in the American remake of Life on Mars made Phil Glenister proud (we hope...). "I'm f*cking out" became an exit the room catch phrase in the office after Danny McBride graced our screens in the hilarious HBO comedy Eastbound and Down. Family Guy's spoof of Star Wars had us falling out of our chairs and Nip Tuck perfected our what to watch schedules with the long over do second parter of season five.

What will take over your box sets next year? True Blood returns in Feb, Damien Lewis makes us proud after his stint on the West End with the return of Zen cop series Life.  Expect the biggest twist of the year when Dexter season four wraps up Spring schedules. And could it be Mark Harmon's farewell when season eight of NCIS keeps us on our toes?

In the meantime, if you're wondering why some of your favourite series aren't airing when you think they should this month...don't fret...they are just taking a break for the holidays, as is Fox Insider, and will resume in the New Year, as always, as promised.

Happy Holidays and Happy Viewing.

F.I.

LET US DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING FOR YOU

Whilst Tiger's still in the woods, we at FX couldn't help but share something...a little different with you today.The Dexter iPhone case! Are you a little stumped what to get that special someone for Xmas? Do you know someone who is a fan Dexter  (if you know someone who isn't a fan then make sure to delete them from your iPhone contacts list)? Then this is the ultimate Christmas gift.

The hardshell cases sit snug on a bed of (fake) blood spattered foam. Our kind of accessory to be sure. In the meantime, Dexter 3 will return to your TV sets shortly if you missed it the first time round.  And if you're ahead of the game, expect to watch season four starring John Lithgow this summer.

OH NO. NO NO. SPIES DON'T GET FIRED, THEY GET RENEWED

Don't you just hate it when you find out your favourite tv show gets the axe?  Yes. We all do. But not today we don't.  Our favourite spy, cop, DIY tipper show Burn Notice has been renewed...for a fourth season! Although trades reported that Burn Notice had been picked up last summer, in actual fact the pickup was only officially official officially as of a few days ago. That's official.  So if you're enjoying BN season ..--- (thats two in Morse code) then I hope today will be one of those days when you can look up at the the gods in the sky running our TV networks and say "hey, one of my favourite shows wasn't axed today. Thanks USA Network".

And on another note, I officially came across this bit of viral today and I wanted to share it with you, as it made my Friday morning just that much more enjoyable. Its the muppets performing their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, the greatest Karaoke song of all time.

Watch it, and why not even join in, you know you want to...

Have a good weekend

THE REAL PETER VS THE CHICKEN

Last Saturday was fight night and England were victorious when David Haye's fast hand was too much and miraculous knocked out the Russian Giant Nikolai Valuev.  So we thought we'd bring you a different kind of fight to enjoy...

Forget those home-made virals you see on you tube. This is the real deal.  If you're a loyal follower of Family Guy, then you'll appreciate this.

Peter Griffin vs Ernie the Chicken...FIGHT!

PETER GRIFFIN ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS

Following recent events last week involving the BNP leader Nick Griffin on the BBC, I thought I'd lighten the mood a bit and find out what an episode of Question Time would be like with Peter Griffin as its guest.

Mr Griffin, we understand you are running, against your wife, for school board president.  What made you decide to run and why against your  wife?                   "This is life. So go and have a ball. Because the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you may not be right for some. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...my opening statement. Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog."

Ok...Let's take a question from the audience. You sir, the dog in the back. "Um yeah hi, my name is Brian.  Peter, what do you hope to change by running? What are your policies? I mean it sounds to me like you're only running to reinstate your teacher who is evidently mentally challenged. Lois is the most likely candidate ...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           "hehehehehe"

"Um..What's so funny?"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           "You said retarded"

"No, no I didn't. I said mentally challenged."                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot"

Ok let's move on to our next question. The young boy in the purple hat. "I'm a girl." Oh. Really? Are you sure. "Yes I'm sure!" Oh, let's move on. How about you, the camp baby with the strange head. "Yes, I have a question for the fatman. Obama's campaign slogan was Yes We Can. What's yours? Beans beans, good for the heart the more you eat them the more you fart? Hahaha wasn't that a good one Rupert?"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    " Stewie is it? I'm glad you asked that question.  My slogan, which I prepared on my way over here is, I'm gonna stop you (Lois) the only way I can... by killing you! In the race for school board president!"

And finally before we go, is there anything else you would like to say to our viewers?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Hi, I'm Peter Griffin and if you don't vote for me you are a homosexual... I'm just kidding, you're probably just a lousy freeloading Canadian.
But seriously though, vote for me.

The new season of Family Guy airs on November 12th, you'd be mentally challenged to miss it.

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP. AGAIN.

Ok so we're not exactly bombing the moon (and yes NASA actually sent a bomb in to space today to blow up a crater on the moon), but tonight FX airs the first episode of Life on Mars *drum roll please* US! The question everyone is asking, "Will it be as good as the British version?"  If I may speak frankly, yes. OK ok hold your horses Philip Glenister fanatics.  I'll set the scene for you:

Harvey Keitel

New York...in the '70s!

Hot Blonde

A different (and by different I mean different to the UK version and different unusual different) ending

Having said that, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Watching Life on Mars US tonight on FX at 10pm and let's all do the time warp again
