Adults Only Family Programming on FOX

While some jokes on The Simpsons and ’Til Death may be okay for older children, FOX’s ribald Family Guy is not a program for the younger members of the household. FOX Sundays start out strongly to bring laughs, but end in a fizzle.

The FOX Sunday night officially begins at 7pm with a re-run of The Simpsons. With so many episodes of this show in the vault, FOX could run re-runs of our favorite animated family into perpetuity (and no one would ever notice). To start off with a bang, FOX opens with the show that made the network what it is today.

Mixing the old with the new (and probably trying to boost ratings for the fledging show), FOX then airs their new series ’Til Death. Seriously, it’s great. Brad Garrett is wonderful and the writers of the show are punchy and realistic. This Sunday, a new episode of ’Til Death will show at 7:30 (right after The Simpsons) and again at 8:30 (right after a brand-new episode of The Simpsons).

But don’t worry, FOX Sunday doesn’t end there. Because they can’t show it any earlier, FOX airs Family Guy at 9pm. Once canceled, the show was brought back because the fan outcry demanded it of the network, and now Family Guy holds a coveted prime time slot on FOX Sundays. While I love this show, it’s definitely not one you’d want to watch with the younger members of your family. If you like adult animated humor, however, this is the best show on television. It’s edgy, it’s hilarious, and it pokes fun at everything we thought was sacred. Family Guy brings a lot of humor to FOX Sundays.
