Big changes are hitting the animated world as "Family Guy" leaves its long-standing Sunday time slot. The popular adult animation will now air on Wednesday nights, starting March 6, alongside "Animal Control." This switch marks a significant departure as the show has not aired on a weekday since 2002. Fox's decision to move "Family Guy" could indicate confidence in the show's standalone popularity or a decline in their investment in the series.
"Family Guy" enjoyed a Sunday slot since its resurrection by Fox in 2005, following high ratings on Adult Swim and strong DVD sales after an initial cancelation. Creator Seth MacFarlane, known for his humor and critique, has had a rocky relationship with Fox, expressing his wish to see the show on a different network in light of Fox News' content.
As "Family Guy" Season 22 currently airs, fans are curious to see how the time change will affect the show when Season 23 debuts on the new night. The series continues to be a topic of conversation with rankings in favorite animated characters and top adult cartoon TV shows.
Meanwhile, the gaming industry sees Xbox Series X and S sales declining in Europe and PlayStation's legal challenges. Big sales on Nintendo Switch games for Black Friday have been announced, and timeless classics like "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" reflect on their 25-year history. In TV, uncertainty looms over the "Game of Thrones" book series completion.
These shifts in scheduling and industry developments indicate an ever-evolving landscape in both the gaming and television arenas, with fanbases eagerly watching what comes next.
