Today was a very good day to be a long-running Fox animated show. That is because the network picked up The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and Family Guy for four more years. Those three will be joined by American Dad, which is coming home after moving to TBS in 2014.
“This historic four-season order from our longtime partners at FOX is truly monumental for these iconic animated series. We are so proud that these legendary shows will continue for hundreds of more episodes, allowing new and longstanding fans to watch, rewatch and experience more of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers for years to come,” said Marci Proietto, head of 20th Television Animation.
The four-year renewal means that The Simpsons will make it to its 40th season. It is the show that will never die. And that is a good thing.
Seth MacFarlane was just 16 years old when The Simpsons debuted. Now, the 51-year-old has two uncancelled shows airing alongside the GOAT! Pretty impressive!
Pete Davidson has dated sought-after celebrities like Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, and Kim Kardashian. And we were like, how does he get all these women?
Now, we might know, thanks to Family Guy. What is it? He said, “I just text them back promptly. That’s it. That’s the secret.”
There you have it, men. If you want to get and keep a woman, text her back.
Here I thought it was his humor because who doesn’t like a funny man? Even though I don’t find him funny.
In 2005, Seth MacFarlane had his second show on Fox, American Dad. It stayed there for 11 seasons before moving to TBS and has been there ever since.
TBS has decided to get out of the scripted show business and has decided they do not want any more new episodes.
So does that mean the end of the series, which did well on the cable network? Fox is looking to save the animated sitcom and air the 20th season and more on their network, according to Deadline.
This is the second time that Fox has cancelled a MacFarlane series and brought it back. The first one being Family Guy. Hopefully, they learned their lesson not do that again.
This is a smart move on Fox’s part. Their new shows, The Great North, Krapopolis, Grimsburg, and Universal Basic Guys, have yet to find an audience because, in my opinion, they suck.
If Fox wants to bring back one of their other animated shows, I vote for The Critic!
For some reason, Fox decided not to debut Family Guy in the Fall. Then, they announced their midseason schedule, and it wasn’t on it. So, I asked if they were just going to move the Anicon to Hulu because the streamer aired two holiday specials this season. They told me no.
They were not lying because the network announced today that we will finally get new episodes on February 16th. And here is the shocking news. It is going to air in The Simpsons timeslot until March 30th, then it will move to 8:30p because Bart, his family, and friends return to cause more trouble.
What can we expect from the 23rd season premiere? The episode will parody Top Gun, which will chronicle Peter/Maverick getting together with Lois/Charlie, the tragic death of Joe/Goose, and Peter/Maverick’s blooming relationship with Chris/Rooster.
Additionally, this season, Peter runs into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a brewery tour, Lois becomes a stand-up comedian and Meg starts dating a chicken she meets on a reality dating show.
Also, back on February 16th is Grimsburg at 8:30p, The Great North at 9p, and finally at 9:30p is Krapopolis.
On March 30th, Grimsburg goes away, and the other two will stay.
Fox announced its Winter schedule, and Family Guy is still missing. Thus making me very unhappy. Because of that, I have a feeling that they are going to do what they did to Seth MacFarlane’s other show, Orville, and move it to Hulu. If that is the case, I wonder if he will decide to end the animated comedy?
UPDATE: A source told me that the series is slated to air on Fox in early 2025.
So what is airing its place?
