good news for Family Guy Fans!

family guy is funny at times, and on very occaisional times extremely funny (bull in china shop scene for one). But really i don't think it's anything special. Futurama was probaly better they should bring that back.

Anyway family is no where near as good as the simpsons (even the last 5 /6 seasons which haven't been as good as the older ones.)

it's not a competition. can't you love them all?

Family Guy and Futurama are both fucking rock.

The simpsons doesn't need to mentioned. It just IS the best. Anything that can be so consistently funny for 10 years (whether you think it's standards have slipped or not) is just the daddy.

fine holly...

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) "Family Guy" fans who have been clamoring for the show's resurrection will see their wish come true in May.

FOX announced Monday (Jan. 17) at the TV Critics Association winter press tour that the show will air its first new episode in more than three years on Sunday, May 1. The network has committed to a full season's worth of episodes, so it's likely that the show can run well into the summer without repeating.

Also that night, FOX will launch the series run of "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane's new show, "American Dad." It centers on Stan Smith, an excessively gung-ho CIA agent who tends to bring his work home with him.

Viewers will get a first look at "American Dad" on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6, when the pilot will be paired with a sports-themed episode of "The Simpsons" after the game. Come May, the two shows will occupy the 9 p.m. Sunday hour; until then, FOX will program reruns of "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons."

"Family Guy" also received the coveted post-Super Bowl premiere spot in 1999, but the show never got much love from FOX after that. It bounced around the network's schedule for three-plus seasons before being pulled for good in February 2002.

The show's loyal cult following, however, made it a huge seller on DVD -- its compilations have sold a combined 3.5 million units -- and repeats on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim performed well, prompting FOX to commission new episodes.

FOX also announced Monday that its new comedy "Life on a Stick" will debut at 9:30 p.m. ET Wednesday, March 23, in the cushy spot following the "American Idol" results show. The series stars Amy Yasbeck ("Wings"), Zachary Knighton, Charlie Finn and Matthew Glave.

Ahh but you forget if it wasn't for the Simpsons Family most definately would not have been created. Although The Simpsons has gone downhill it has been a major influence on other programs.
