I feel like Adult Swim reviving family guy was ultimately a blessing and a curse. A blessing in that, at the time, allowed the show to florish. But also a curse, and that after it became so wildly successful, mostly due to Adult Swim's marketing, Fox brought Family Guy back and ran it into the ground. I wonder how much different it would the show would be if it got an occasional hiatus every couple of seasons, almost like how South Park waited months before putting out new episodes. I get these are different shows and animation takes more time with family guy, but a break would serve these writers wonders, and I bet could slowly bring it back to how it was in its golden era.

[@geardog24]

[@phabiorules]

Fox is Family Guy’s dad that left them pretty early on in life. Adult swim is the neighbor who helps out family guy’s mom every now and again to serve as a good father figure for him. Once that kid starts making music and gets money, fox comes crawling back and acting like nothing really happened. And Disney is Fox’s new wife that doesn’t think he should spend anymore time with the neighbor anymore because it’s “weird”.

The closing point of television being a more stable incubation point than streaming for a niche audience is something that never occurred to me before. In a way, it mirrors the demand for instant gratification that gave rise to streaming in the first place.

I was about 10 years old when my brother and I first discovered Family Guy on [adult swim] way back in 2003. We thought it was absolutely hilarious at the time. But when I tried rewatching the show as an adult years later, I couldn’t get into it. It does have its moments, but the show as a whole doesn’t do much for me. On the other hand, I remembered loving Futurama, another Fox adult cartoon that was canceled and picked up by [adult swim] the same time as Family Guy. Futurama is now one of my all-time favorite shows.

Family guy went off the rails by the very latest early 2009 if not before that. The adult swim rerun years in the early days of the first 3 seasons will always remain classic. I remember being 7 years old when my dad was watching the superbowl in 99' when family guy premiered and I can remember the original fox run when I moved from gerogia to Colorado that December. Then a few years later in early 2002 I remember the early adult swim reruns of those. I used the money I earned doing yardwork that summer and used it to buy the DVD sets and a shitty $20 DVD player and we hooked it up to this shitty 4" countertop TV we had from goodwill and my friends and I would watch the DVDs on the front porch over and over until we wore those boxsets out. When it was revived In 2006, it already had a different feeling to the approach but it was still funny for another 2 to 3 years before it just became utterly vulgar, crass, and unnecessarily mean spirited.

[@MrSpartan993]

You NAILED it, friend. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

A few things Saber. One big reason that Seth McFarland decided to make an animated adult show after his thesis and pilot was the Simpsons, he saw a lot of promise in animation for adults, and him and Groening are on good terms. Also Disney didn't put Family Guy on Hulu after acquiring 20th Century Studios, it's been on there as long as I can remember; it's how I usually watch the show.

Family Guy didn’t move to Hulu, it’s always been there as its streaming home, it moved to Freeform (as well as FXX). What happened was that Adult Swim was only running seasons 1-15, while 16 and onward were on FXX (and Freeform). When Family Guy left Adult Swim, it allowed the unification

They hated fox bc Fox always Milked the Simpsons more and kept changing their slots leading to its cancellation, while adult swim aired like 1 episode a night, no cuts for commercials and the deleted jokes that fox never shows, and then 1 turned into 3 episodes a night (and sometimes 1 repeat).

I had season 5 on DVD as a kid and I played it to death, I loved it! I still love Family Guy and it honestly has better humor that Simpsons and Bobs Burger.

[@felixfletcher8070]

when I was in college I loved staying up all night watching Family Guy on Adult Swim. I was one of those people who bought the first couple of seasons on DVD. I still watch it on Hulu, although its not the same. the DVDS i gave to Half Price Books along with my Shin Chan and Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDS. Actuallly the Shin Chan stuff had the cashier giving me an incredulous look and she was like "you really dont want these? i'm gonna buy them myself" I personally love the move to streaming everything cause i hate moving junk!

adult swim is also infamous for their April Fool's day jokes. If you wanted, you could do a video about this for an April fool's day special video.

Oh man @saberspark recollecting his childhood it brought me to the days of playing the original Star Wars Battlefront II while drinking Pepsi Blue and eating Zours, ah those were the days and Pepperridge Farm remembers.

Being a Zoomer, I'll forever take pride in being part of the last generation where broadcast TV was still the dominant force of media consumption when I was a kid.

Saber: How Adult Swim saved Family Guy Alternate Title: How Adult Swim turned Family Guy into Spongebob Squarepants for Fox 😂

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

Considering how both shows are similar in real life

[@bovineapples3012]

You know your old when you remember the original Adult Swim early scenes. Literally brought back a lot of nostalgia!!!

[@sleepytiger78]

Fan art made me laugh this week, great job Kestrel!

[@Randomark3087]

Funny story. When it first came out, I thought it looked boring. When it was coming to Adult Swim I was like, "Ugh. THIS show?" Then it debuted, and I decided to give it a shot. I started watching and I was like, "This is HILARIOUS!" Been a fan ever since.

[@AggressiveSpaghetti]

Adult swim is like a mother goose for adult animation that wants on tv, I've heard that even Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel are going to Adult Swim, but dunno if it's true

[@CubeAtlantic]

This kind of boosts-up nostalgia i used to like watching Family Guy via Adult Swim & the tri-state local networks the series used to be so good ime.

[@kylechmieleski5310]

I watched adult swim's chicken run at a young age because I felt like it was better than any other show I would watch after returning from school, ditto for South Park and Family Guy

[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

That's how Mobile Suit Gundam was saved from being another show in the pile in the 80s. And you know something's gone wrong when animation critics recieve sponsorship from legal professionals while actual animators, the guys behind the family guy funny moments, get chupa dinero.

So crazy hearing Peter and Brian voices from different characters plus they going shopping at STEWIE'S

[@sippinontime3545]

Seeing final space in the background hurt. It was unjustly canceled along with inside job they both had so much more to give and now their stories will never be finished

[@captainvaliant]

Same, it's been like two years and I can't get over the fact that it basically ended with its villain winning due to the show's cancellation

[@brianlevine871]

It's pretty ironic how the "Larry and Steve" short premiered on Cartoon Network, and then later on the channel would save its successor from cancellation. Pretty amusing how things work out.

[@GumSkyloard]

It was basically if you went back to your parents house, and they managed to actually help you get back on your feet. That was CN to FG.

[@chomp2808]

Adult swim has saved a few show most famous Futurama

[@CosplayingwithChad]

8:04 I remember watching the Best Day Edder marathon of Ed Edd N’ Eddy that led up to the movie and I video taped the whole movie, man I wish I still had that VHS!😢

[@KeefWhiteJR]

This video hit home hard! Halo 2, MTN Dew Code Red, Adult Swim, Aqua Teen, Family guy... It's like it was me you were talking about...

[@hardrockinhere]

They saved a show that should've ended about a decade ago

[@urlocaltherapistpterodacty9396]

1:07 Ngl, Stewie, who is 2d, in a 3d place looks odd
