| Family Guy's return after an absence of three years has been a great success. The fourth series (funded by Fox after great DVD sales) is part of a weekly "Animation Domination" strand on the US network. It follows on from The Simpsons, and is getting as many viewers. Also being shown is creator Seth MacFarlane's new show, American Dad, about a CIA man sharing a house with an alien. Like the original series of Family Guy, it's getting wonderfully mixed reviews, with some people describing it as "horrible" - which, for MacFarlane, is surely a good sign. The BBC has acquired the rights to both shows, but will be starting with the terrestrial debut of season three of Family Guy later this year (yes, the really sick, bizarre season they made when they knew they were cancelled and didn't care). |
