'Family Guy' un-canceled, thanks to DVD sales success

Family Guy, the outrageous Fox cartoon that was canceled two years ago, will resume production next month with 35 new episodes to premiere early next year on Cartoon Network and possibly on Fox.

It marks the first time a canceled show has been resurrected based on DVD sales. The first volume, which sold 1.6 million, was last year's top-selling TV DVD; a second volume sold another million copies. And those 50 reruns are the biggest draw on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block of late-night programming, with 1.9 million viewers. <snip>


YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuckin ' A!

1. WooHOO!!!!!

Best news I've heard all day.

[Deja Q]

2. Wow!

1 million dedicated fans to buy both volumes. and 1.9 million viewers who watched, we can only hope the statistics-gathering was accurate.

I was thinking the show must've gotten 5 million copies sold - at least - for such a revival.

But I'm glad it will be back.

Question is, will we be as glad after we see the episodes?

8. I'm skeptical.

I'm not sure you can bring them back without jumping the shark.

Have they got the original writers and cast? (i.e. Meg's second voice actor, not the original original).

9. yay

Funny thing is : I've bought Volume 1 stateside to watch during the hop over the atlantic and ordered Volume two yesterday.
