Found: original 'Family Guy' (lost pilot)


Family Guy lost pilot (full 1998) FOUND

(Goobie) March 20, 2025: Uploaded to Robert Paulson's website Found by GhostTheDeadGirl of the Lost Media Wiki's Discord. Thank you to my goat blameitonjorge for posting it.


After 30 years of being missing, Family Guy's LOST pilot has finally been found! Today let's talk about the major differences between the pilot and what eventually became Season 1, Episode 1 of the series Fox TV ordered from creator and animator Seth MacFarlane.

Can anyone list the funniest moments of all time?

History of the show
Creator Seth MacFarlane
In the beginning, MacFarlane pitched a 16-minute pilot to Fox in May 1998, and the show was greenlit and began production. Then came the Family Guy controversies. By 2002, Family Guy's cancellation was announced shortly after the third season had aired, with one unaired episode eventually premiering on Adult Swim in 2003, finishing the series' original run. Favorable DVD sales and high ratings from syndicated reruns since then convinced Fox to revive the show in 2004; the fourth season began airing the following year, on May 1, 2005. The end.

Treasure: "oldest" Iron Age gold work in Britain!

BBC.com News; Pat Macpherson, CC Liu (eds.) Wisdom Quarterly
Iron Age gold jewelry has been discovered by treasure hunters (Leekfrith torcs).

"Oldest" Iron Age gold work in Britain found in Staffordshire
Two friends have unearthed jewellery which could be the oldest Iron Age gold discovered in Britain.

Mark Hambleton, who went back to metal detecting after advice from his late father, made the find with Joe Kania, on Staffordshire Moorlands farmland.
 
The three necklaces and bracelet are believed to be about 2,500 years old [from around the time of the Buddha teaching in India and Central Asia].
 
Their find was declared treasure at an inquest led by coroner Ian Smith, who joked it was likely to be "worth a bob or two."
 
Julia Farley, of the British Museum, described the discovery, called the Leekfrith Iron Age Torcs, as a "unique find of international importance."
  • For more on this and other Stoke and Staffordshire news
  • WIKI: The torcs were made on the European continent, somewhere in the area of modern Germany or France, in the fourth or third century BC (400-250 BC). They are some of the oldest examples of Iron Age gold, and of Celtic ornament, ever found in Britain. They have been accredited by Julia Farley, Curator of European Iron Age Collections, Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum, who called them a "unique find of international importance."
"Invaluable insight"
Dr Farley, the museum's curator of British and European Iron Age collections, said: "It dates to around 400-250 BC and is probably the earliest Iron Age gold work ever discovered in Britain.

"The torcs were probably worn by wealthy and powerful women, perhaps people from the Continent who had married into the local community...." More

VAGINA

Ashley Wells, Dhr. Seven, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Eve Ensler, Krista Tippett (onbeing.org)
These new uniforms breathe much better than the old ones for better cycling (Telegraph).
.
What the?!
One day the neuroscientists asked the Tibetan Buddhist monks to come into the lab to meditate. The monks only having a vague idea of what the scientists were after agreed and came in.

What's this supposed to measure? (RF)
But as they were about to be fitted with helmet like neural sensors to "scientifically" observe consciousness or the analogues of awareness, they all laughed and asked, What are you doing?

The scientists dutifully explained that the flexible helmets were built with an array of metal sensors that would touch their scalps and pick up minute electrical fluctuations in wave-like patterns... No, we know all that! the monks exclaimed. But why aren't you putting the sensors over our hearts?!

Tibetan monks in meditation (Laura Murphy)
Dumb scientists, dumb Americans, dumb the whole Western world -- don't you know the seat of consciousness is experientially at the heart? YOU can test that. Sit in meditation and locate the "mind door." It's greenish and reflects conscious experience just around the heart, not that goo-crammed cranium. When will popular-science catch up? We know that secret (black budget)-science already knows.

Hey, guys, you can't say [CENSORED]!
New science: The experiment that "proves" the brain is the source of consciousness is applying mild electrical stimulation to the exposed brain. When this area is touched, one relives a memory. Did you know there are more neurons all along the lining of the gut and others in the heart. Why not apply mild electrical stimulation there? Know what will happen? Same thing as the brain!

The body is holistic, consciousness holographic; every cell knows, and every cells contains the same instructions. Knowing is not limited to the body or any seat of awareness: the sensitive tissue in the eye, ear, nose, tongue, skin, or heart. Want to suffer from severe depression? Let doctors remove a portion of your colon, where most of the serotonin and other neurotransmitters are. Want to knock someone out? Punch him/her in the heart or head. But be careful as it could kill the person, who is likely to go unconscious and into shock or arrythmia. Science is not very scientific, never living up to its own ideals. It's almost as bad as religion in this regard.

What is consciousness?
But isn't it interesting that we all believe what we are told by science? "Consciousness"  (vinanna, manas, cittas, mano, a PROCESS defined in exacting detail by the Enlightened One in terms of five phenomenal groupings and particles and mind-moments) is in the head, between the ears, behind the eyes? Poppycock! The ancients had it right, as do most children. It's in the heart, the heart. Where is the origin of the world? Well, not the heart; that's the center of conscious experience. The origin of the world is... mmm, we'll let Eve tell you:
France to Facebook Corporation [which, in league with FBI, spies on Americans]: We'll tell you what counts as "porn" on social networks; you won't tell us (independent.co.uk).
The Body After the C-Word

Salomé (Gustave Moreau, 1876)
Eve Ensler has helped women all over the world tell the stories of their lives through the stories of their bodies. Her play, "The Vagina Monologues," has become a global force in the face of violence against women and girls.

She herself also had a violent childhood. And it turns out that she, like so many Western women, was obsessed with her body yet was not inhabiting her body. But she did not know she was not inhabiting her body -- until she got cancer. More

What is "art"? (cartoons, illusions...)

Amber Larson, CC Liu, and Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly; the artist Saara (Arkiharha)
Saara (Arkiharha) pondering art and free expression in Finland (Weekday-Illusion)
 
The fun Finnish cartoonist, devi, and graphic artist noticed our coverage. Saara is an obscure but prolific talent. We love her work, which can be found at many outlets like such as Arkiharha and such as Weekday-Illusion (our nod to awkward beauty pageant contestant Miss South Carolina).
 
She is expressing herself in her work and in a letter to us:
 
"Susse" (Saara/Arkiharha/flickr)
"Wow, it's crazy to find a post full of my pictures and comics! Nice analysis, too. Maybe I kinda succeeded to pass on my thoughts in a visual way, because you get the idea from most of them -- even when they are written in Finnish!"
 
See Wisdom Quarterly coverage here: My cartoon ART is your perception

REPLY: Saara, send in art you are eager for the world to see, like your beautiful sketches of the Buddha. We would be overjoyed to feature more.
 
Comic vignettes as art "Kuva" (Saara/Arkiharha/flickr)
If you have "class" you know a bottle of "fine" wine and classical string instruments like a Stratavarious are the only things to sip or listen to. But you're wrong. Science says you're wrong. So surely when you add that only oil on canvas can be art and not no people pleasing cartoony comics, you're wrong, too. Don't tell us. We like classical. Tell it to science:
 
The way to get people to better enjoy craapy fermented grape juice that sells for thousands of dollars is to say it sells for more. Just a better bottle and a price change, or serving it with an elegant story of its venerable origins, its pedigree, is enough to make it "taste" better. How classy of study participants.

Can comics and webcam colors be called art?
fMRI scans prove bad alcohol actually tastes better when it's two-buck-chuck krup is said to be something more expensive and classy. Expensive wine tastes better. Let's call it "neuromarketing." Marketers have known about this effect for years regarding other foods. Before they started loading fruit juices with added flavorants (cynically called "natural flavors" not because they're natural but because they synthetically mimic something "natural" rather than something artificial) and artificial colorants.

My doggy, my doggy...oh, you've come back! "Sarjis 12.8"  (Saara/Arkiharha/flickr)
 
Vegan Food Fest, Los Angeles
Flavorless red colors make things taste better. Blindfolded we might not be able to tell a difference or say which drink is what fruit. We use color as a clue, and it works. The flavor of dull tasting juice is brightened just by brightening its color. Such is the illusion we live in and the hypnotic states we fall into every other moment.

If we would meditate, we could emerge and be dehypnotized.

Hungry ghost, psychic ("Bobb")
But we love our illusions, delusions, and dreams. And we would directly-personally-verifiably find that we are (w)holistic beings, not mind (intangible processes)/body (senses) possessing spirits like it seems.
 
Today a study is making headlines saying that an old Stradavarius violin sounds no better than a modern one. In fact, if one believes this study, the modern one sounds better. More musicians prefer it. (But maybe they are voting for the one they think is the Strad which is the one they fear the study would find inferior?)

The Distortions
It's all how we look at the world we are creating each and every without realizing what we're choosing. Art can sensitize and teach us as we clear our mental perception of the distortions/perversions (Wisdom Quarterly). "Hiljattain päivitetty" (Saara/Arkiharha).

I'm a Mexican Buddhist...in LA/LA Land (video)

Crystal Quintero, Ashley Wells, CC Liu, Pfc. Sandoval, Wisdom Quarterly (Part 2)
"LA/LA"? Welcome to LA LA Land: Los Angeles, Latin America (sweetnrawme.com)

If I were Frieda Kahlo
LOS ANGELES, Latin America - The Getty is preparing to launch an art exhibit that accentuates the embarrassment of artistic riches we have in Los Angeles, which not everyone realizes is in Latin America.

It is for a lot of reasons. Not only did it used to be Mexico until European Invaders during U.S. War on the Spanish annexed it like Ukraine, it is again predominantly Latin American.

Buddhists discovered America before Columbus
Although Asians are the fastest growing ethnicity in the U.S., more Latinas and Latinos live in California than any other group.

Most are not Mexican Buddhists anymore, but a lot are. And it's amazing to find out that there is a connection between the Native Americans, First Nations people, and Mexicans (Aztecs, Maya or Mayans, Toltecs, Olmecs, Incas, and many others) from neighboring Mexico, Mesoamerica, and Central America.
 
The famous "Mayan Calendar" is Aztec
It will be a long time before that information goes mainstream.

But it takes awhile for the truth to surface. In 1885 Edward P. Vining published the facts about inglorious Columbus and the Afghan Buddhist missionaries, led by the Chinese Buddhist monk Hwui Shan (Hui Shen), who arrived in America in the 5th century. America is the Fusang they discovered. So everyone will have to settle for the Getty's Pacific Standard Time 2017.

If I were a leftist Aztec warrior marching through the streets of Los Angeles (latimes.com)
 
In the fall of 2011 Los Angeles celebrated the launch of Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, an unprecedented collaboration of arts institutions across Southern California joining together to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.
 
If I were Irish-Mexican like Peter (as Che)*
Yet it was 230 years earlier, in 1781, that the city of Los Angeles itself was born when El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles [de Porciúncula] was founded as part of New Spain. [A pueblo like that of the Puebloan Buddhists!]

Thus, while Los Angeles [the "City of Angels"] often represents the vanguard of contemporary culture in the United States, it is at the same time a Latin American city of long duration.
 
If I went to BofA or KA
Today, nearly half of the population of Los Angeles has roots in Latin America, contributing to Southern California as a lively center of artistic production and a natural nexus of cultural creativity between North and South. 
 
In recent years a number of exhibitions in the Americas and Europe have offered an introduction to the original and varied heritage of Latin America and the Latin American diaspora.

Now there is an opportunity for a broader and deeper examination of this art through a renewed collaboration by the Pacific Standard Time partners. In the process, Southern California will play a significant role in the research and presentation of Latin American art. More
