‘Family Guy’ creator and Microsoft team up for Win 7 promotion

Microsoft is teaming up with Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane on a new Windows 7 cross-promotion.

The software giant says the promotion was inspired by Milton Berle’s variety show Texaco Star Theater and will be a full 30-minute show that will air on Fox November 6th.

The show is commercial-less (all ad time paid by Microsoft) and will “feature unique Windows 7-branded programming that blends seamlessly with show content.”

Neither McFarlane or Microsoft would give away any of the skits, but sight gags are expected.

The show is called “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show,” and will air at 8:30 PM on November 6th.

The promotion is expected to cost Microsoft over $3 million USD.
