Night of the Hurricane is a 2011 crossover event on the Animation
Domination lineup on Fox. The event involved the three animated
television series created by Seth MacFarlane: The Cleveland Show,
Family Guy and American Dad!. The event depicts a hurricane which hits
the towns of Stoolbend (The Cleveland Show setting), Quahog (Family
Guy setting) and Langley Falls (American Dad! setting). The actual
three-way crossover of the event occurs at the end on American Dad!
with the three fathers of each family in the same scene.The Night of
the Hurricane event is similar to the NBC Hurricane Saturday event of
1991 with three series created by Susan Harris: The Golden Girls,
Empty Nest and Nurses. It was originally scheduled to air on May 1,
2011, but was delayed after the 2011 Super Outbreak in the Southern
United States. It eventually aired on October 2, 2011. Coincidentally,
those episodes aired exactly two months after Hurricane Irene, which
caused some damage to Virginia, the state where the shows American Dad
and The Cleveland Show take place, and Rhode Island, the state where
the show Family Guy takes place.The event begins on The Cleveland Show
episode "The Hurricane!", when the storm hits Stoolbend, forcing the
Browns/Tubbs to cancel their vacation plans. In the meantime,
Cleveland, Jr. shocks everyone by announcing that he does not believe
in God. The event continues on the Family Guy episode "Seahorse
Seashell Party", when the storm moves from Stoolbend to Quahog and the
Griffins try to find ways to pass the time. Brian devours
hallucinogenic mushrooms, which cause him to see bizarre things while
Meg finally loses her temper at Peter, Lois and Chris for all the
times they abused her over the years. The event ends on the American
Dad! episode "Hurricane!", when the storm moves from Quahog to Langley
Falls, leading the Smiths to fight like mad to survive after the sea
wall breaks and causes a terrible flood. After the storm passes, the
houses of the three families end up in the same neighborhood. Stan,
Cleveland and Peter face each other in a stand-off, during which
Francine comes out the front door, leading to Stan accidentally
shooting her, which Peter claims to be "classic American Dad!"The
crossover event is the first of its kind in the history of the
animated television line-up on Fox. Kevin Reilly, the entertainment
president of the Fox Broadcasting Company, originally pitched the idea
for the crossover, which was inspired by theme nights of comedy shows
from the 1980s. Creator Seth MacFarlane said that Reilly brought the
idea to the writers, since a crossover of its kind had not been done
in a while and Reilly thought "it might be kind of cool." Instead of
having the American Dad! characters visit Family Guy and The Cleveland
Show, MacFarlane chose to do one central storyline so that each
writing staff would not have to write stories for unfamiliar
characters. The three-episode-block was an "enormous challenge" and a
"substantial undertaking", but MacFarlane said he would be willing to
do it again if the ratings proved the event to be a success. The event
was first announced in July 2010 by MacFarlane at the Comic-Con
International in San Diego when he revealed that the three dads of his
shows, Peter, Stan and Cleveland, would appear in the same scene. Night of the Hurricane Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
