I always look froward to watch the trio of McFarlene's animated shows (Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleavland Show) on Fox every Sunday. My personal favorite is Family Guy due to its fair amount of unpredictable humor. However, it is quite surprising that these takes up most of Fox's Sunday Primetime line-up.
I don't really see how Fox is paying so much attention to these shows. The shows are good but it is hardly worth dedicating an hour and a half for them alone. Even The Simpsons aren't treated as much ever since Family Guy was uncanceled. Even the new show Bob's Burgers seems to be getting little marketing.
My guess is that Family Guy or any of Seth McFarlene's shows, became too valuable for Fox to belittle after their return that they made sure to not let any other show upstage it. So they purposely try to lessen any publicity of any new animated show that comes up in Fox until they eventually be canceled due to poor ratings....but that would be just be dumb conspiracy talk.
