It was in USA Today. No official word yet, but it is likely that there will be 35 new episodes produced and to air either on FOX or just continue with the new episodes on Cartoon Network, which I would prefer. Cartoon Network deserves to reap the rewards for bringing this show back to TV. Don't expect new episodes until January 2005.

Sweetness. Ever since I Tivo'd up, I set a season pass for Family Guy and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Stuey cracks me right the shit up.

Okay, so from the words out of MacFarland's own mouth Family Guy is looking at a return in December 2004.

His interview on KPNW can be located here.

Great news, I hope it does come back. I have just recently started watching this on the Cartoon Network, and man I wish I hadn't slept on this show. After about a week of watching I think my favorite episode is the one in which Peter finds out he is black. The scene where he narrates his life had me on the floor. But I think my favorite character is Stuey. I am planning on getting the DVD's soon.

It is a long wait, but it should be worth it. It was a great show when it was on. I'm worried that when it comes back on, that the new episodes won't be able to deliver. Most likley it will, but I just have this feeling...

Yes. Rumor is it will start airing again in December 2004 or early in 2005.

Why is Family Guy returning and not Futurama?

Would it be too much to hope for the same with Futurama? Probably....

It would be great if Futurama came too. No doubt.

Family Guy has had higher syndicate/cable ratings and better DVD Sales.. Pretty simple really.

From the mouth of Seth McFarlane who is the creator of the show.

So is McFarlane going to do both Family Guy and that American Dad show? AD didn't strike me as promising, but I guess the concept of FG doesn't sound too good on paper, either.

Probably because Family Guy has a huge fan base that will support the show when it comes back.

Not saying Futurama isn't a good show, but it's just not that popular. Not as popular as Family Guy anyway.

actually the main reason they have said that futurama won't come back is because of its large budget. It has enough support that it could but it cost 1 million+ per episode, which is way too high for a cable show.

Anyway great news on Family Guy, that show rocks.
