The Family Guy Returns?

USAToday.com is reporting that there are rumors of the cult cartoon "Family Guy" could be returning from the dead.

If you haven't seen Family Guy I feel sorry for you. It's on nightly on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim. So go watch it.

There were 3 seasons but FOX ran it more as a filler show off and on. As a result it's a damn funny show but the ratings just didn't do it justice. They [FOX] ended up canceling it but thanks to the killer DVD sales of the episodes they might believe it's worth spending the money on new episodes.

Personally I applaud the move! It's nice to see tv executives, especially the ones at FOX, thinking about more than just the next stupid reality show. Anyways, right now it's just speculation as no official announcement has been made but they're saying it could be as many as 35 new episodes starting January of 2005. That's a ways off so don't go running out and buying stocks of tapes or DVD-RW media yet!

Here's hoping it works out.
