Fox removes FAMILY GUY

Fox has removed FAMILY GUY from its Thursday night line-up due to poor
ratings. (Apparently UPN's new WWF SMACKDOWN! is creating stiff
competition.) According to a Fox spokesperson, the network remains
committed to the show, and its return date will be known in about two
weeks. The show did well last spring when it launched in a Sunday night
timeslot and Fox committed to another season. Therefore, it seems likely
the show will return as part of the Sunday night lineup when one of the
current Sunday night animated shows (KING OF THE HILL, SIMPSONS, FUTURAMA)
runs out of new episodes. Folks are also wondering how THE PJS will fit
into this new schedule when it returns midseason.
