...seems a little soon to be doing a nostalgic retrospective on 1994, MacFarlane says that’s exactly the point. “[It’s] a tongue-in-cheek thing,” he explains. “The O.J. Simpson chase is not the moon-landing.” The first episode is set in motion when Alison, the only girl Glen has ever dated (in truth, they exchanged a single kiss in middle school), moves back to Buffalo.

"All the fears created by the fact that I am American buying land are ridiculous," says Tompkins. "My intention has always been to eventually turn over the land to the Argentine government for a national park." He has done so once here already, donating another estate he owned in the Argentine southern region of Patagonia to the National Parks administration. Tompkins had originally bought the gigantic Monte Leon 163,000-acre sheep farm in the late 1990s...
