    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 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.

    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.

I remember, there were a ton of petitions to put Exosquad on the time slot and it was mainly ignored by Universal Studios who still repeated that Exosquad was a kid show only. Even today they still do, putting in the kid's section on their Peacock streaming service.

      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”.

    I remember when Family Guy got renewed for Fox, one of the things Seth McFarland required to be part of the contract was that Cartoon Network, and specifically [adult swim] would be permitted to keep getting the episodes, including the new ones. Seth was not only a regular writer for [adult swim] shows, but he was well aware that the show had lasted long enough to be a hit because of them.

I'm 25 now and this video has so much nostalgia for me, like I didn't get the jokes from an older perspective but it was very much still a show I loved. We bought the DVDs too and my favorite episode to watch was the one where Stewie went inside peter to prevent his parents from conceiving another baby. CRAZY if you remember what that episode was showing. I watch American Dad now and that's my preference of the two but it's so wild how much that show was prevalent in my childhood.

    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.

    Fun fact! The opening for adult swim originally with the slogan All Kids Out of the Pool. While showing footage of old people.
    Was to detour kids away from the adult segment. Sometimes there would be 10 to 30 second footage of old people which surprisingly kept the younger audience away from adult swim.

    I was about 10 in the mid-2000s and I watched Adult Swim all the time. And I was obsessed with Family Guy to the point where I had a pen that played Stewie quotes and a throw blanket from Hot Topic. I vividly remember watching American Dad as it debuted after the Super Bowl too the same year I was obsessively watching Family Guy, and I loved that show too. Aside from all of the 80s references, the show was perfect for late kids and teens. And the show was so much better then. I stopped watching soon after the Surfin' Bird episode came out. But I'll always love those earlier seasons.

    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.
