Coming soon in South Attleboro ... maybe?

The TV show "Family Guy" was created by Seth MacFarlane, who was raised in Connecticut and attended the Rhode Island School of Design, where he became quite familiar with what's on both sides of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border. And over the many years that "Family Guy" has been on the air, he has often slipped in references to South Attleboro, for reasons known only to him.

This is one of the best.

In an episode in which Brian, the Griffins' family dog (often said to represent MacFarlane's real persona), impregnates the prize-winning greyhound owned by Lois Griffin's father, Carter Pewterschmidt, Brian is taken to court in an effort to deny him the right to have contact with the puppies. In this scene, the prosecuting attorney attempts to discredit Brian by questioning him about an incident that happened at the South Attleboro Denny's restaurant.

Well, at the time, there was no Denny's in South Attleboro. But now, after a very long construction delay, there is one -- right next to the Chik-Fil-A on US 1, not far from the May Street intersection. It's open, and I'm sure the breakfast menu has a Moon Over My Hammy on it.

Here's what Brian did at the South Attleboro Denny's. Is this history imitating art? And can we expect to see a white dog taking a break from his breakfast to yell at a crying baby? You be the judge.
