Fox Pulls ‘Family Guy,’ ‘American Dad’ & ‘Cleveland Show’ Hurricane Episodes

Truth rating: 10

5:02 pm, April 29th, 2011

(Fox)

Fox has decided to pull the hurricane-themed crossover episodes of “Family Guy,” “American Dad” and “The Cleveland Show” scheduled to air on Sunday, after deadly real-life storms ravaged the United States this week.

The three Seth MacFarlane animated series will broadcast repeats instead of the special episodes, planned 18 months ago.

Approximately 300 people have died in storms that swept through Alabama and five other states.

“In light of the recent storms that have affected the nation, Fox has decided to postpone the crossover episodes that were originally scheduled to air this Sunday,” the network said in a statement.

They will air next spring.

MacFarlane and his team created the hurricane premise as a way of doing an inter-show crossover event without having characters “visit” other series.

    Why next spring? They could post pone them until the fall or maybe a bit sooner.

    because even this fall, is a little too soon for the South…it took about 3-5 yrs for people to actually accept a movie that had to deal with 9/11…people need to heal/grieve for their loss

    We’re talking about people that still haven’t gotten over the f*n Civil War. How long will it take for them to “heal/grieve” about the f*n weather?

  • MissZee

    duke, lets see you have to deal with devastation once a tornado comes through you’re town…over 300 people have died, towns are basically been wiped out depending on where you go. my friend lives in Alabama, her whole town is GONE…

    That was a good decision on Fox’s part to pull the new episodes. This was done in good taste and I fully support their decision. On a positive note DISH Network subscribers can access to all of favorite programs like Family guy anywhere in the world thanks to there TV everywhere and can watch all of there favorite programs and DVR content to my mobile device. A so-worker at DISH explained to me that DISH Network uses sling technology to provider TV everywhere using either a sling adapter with a compatible DISH Network receiver or a 922 DVR that has sling capabilities built in.
