20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn’t Know About Family Guy

19. Seth MacFarlane's Favourite Moment Is Peter Feeding Tom Selleck

Fox

As a show built on throwaway moments, there's going to be so many utterly hilarious scenes in Family Guy that picking out the very best is a hard task. For Seth MacFarlane, who revealed this in a Top 100 Cartoons list for Channel 4 (on which Family Guy placed fifth), it would be the scene in the post-apocalyptic Da Boom where, amongst their scarred hell, Lois reminisces about how much food they wasted, cutting away to Peter trying to feed beans to Tom Selleck on TV. Magnum P.I., and Selleck himself, are clearly favourites of the writers, so it's not surprising to hear MacFarlane's funniest scene involves him. Even without that affection, however, it's a pretty good one; it's emblematic of both Peter's internal logic and the show's love of particular pop culture annals
