‘Star Trek: TNG’ Cast Reuniting for ‘Family Guy’ Eppy

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

nextgeneration The cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation will be beaming into Stewie’s bedroom for an upcoming “sweeps” episode of the Fox hit Family Guy.

In the episode titled “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven,” the Griffin family heads to the annual Quahog Star Trek convention but Stewie “blows a fuse” when he doesn’t get a chance to ask The Next Generation cast any questions.  He devises a plan to build a transporter and manages to beam the entire Enterprise crew - Patrick Stewart, Levar Burton, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, Wil Wheaton, Denise Crosby, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes - into his bedroom so they can spend a fun-filled day together in Quahog.

The Star Trek-themed episode is set to air on March 29.
