`FAMILY GUY' PRODUCER BEGGED FOX TO SHELVE SHOW

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Most TV producers don't want their shows yanked off the air -- but not "Family Guy" creator Seth McFarlane. The 26-year-old producer says he actually begged Fox Network executives to pull the animated show from the schedule earlier this season because he hated the time slot -- smack dab against the highly rated "Frasier." Fox agreed and temporarily canceled "Family Guy," but the show will return tomorrow night (Mar.7) this time opposite "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," "Jag" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
