Interestingly, when watching newer Family Guy episodes over broadcast TV, I have seen a bit of space at the top of the pillar boxes--as if the boxes don't resolve to the full vertical distance--where you can see the various scenes' backgrounds extend into the 16x9 space. So I think that Family Guy may actually be composed in a 16x9 frame, but the action is blocked into the 4x3 space and then pillar boxes are pasted over the edges.
