Family Guy provided an assortment of colorful characters with instantly quotable lines and raunchy humor that makes television worth watching. The FOX Network didn’t like this kind of popularity and canceled the moderately popular show after three seasons. Family Guy reruns became a major hit on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, viewed in constant repetition by high college students and people who couldn’t figure out when Robot Chicken was on. The show’s DVDs sold more than two million copies, attracting the attention of FOX who decided to respond to fans demands and not only bring the show back for a fourth season, launched a second show by Family Guy’s creator Seth McFarlane called American Dad. It was a great triumph for geeks and petitioners everywhere, a sign that our voices can be heard and can make a difference. Gigady gigady.
