Cartoon Network bought the rights to air reruns of the show. “Family Guy” was officially canceled in May of 2002. With Fox continuing to move the show to different time slots and giving very little advance notice about it, the show found it difficult to find a dedicated audience. However, in its second season, Fox moved the show around several times, pitting it against some of the highest rated shows at the time including “Who Wants to be a Millionaire,” “Friends” and “Survivor.” In May of 2000, Fox canceled the show but reversed course two months later. The rest of the first season continued to get respectable ratings.
It premiered after the Super Bowl in 1999 to 22 million viewers. The program’s history on the air has been a very rocky one. Fox, impressed with what MacFarlane produced, ordered “Family Guy” to series. The characters of Larry and Steve eventually morphed into Peter and Brian. He continued to expand on the characters and eventually produced a series of shorts, “Larry & Steve.” The Fox network took notice of the shorts and commissioned MacFarlane to create a 15-minute short film. The show, created by MacFarlane, started out as a thesis project he was working on at the Rhode Island School of Design about a middle-aged man and his sophisticated dog called “The Life of Larry.” This landed MacFarlane a job at the infamous Hanna-Barbera animation studios.

We don’t have a random cutaway to help commemorate this anniversary, but we did put together the 40 greatest episodes of the series ever, ranked worst to best. His family consists of Lois ( Alex Borstein), his constantly ignored wife, Meg ( Mila Kunis), their gloomy daughter, Chris ( Seth Green), the dim-witted middle son, Stewie, a baby bent on world domination and matricide, and Brian, the intellectual and alcoholic family dog (the latter two also voiced by MacFarlane).
The animated sitcom centers around Peter Griffin ( Seth MacFarlane), a fat and not-too-bright blue collar worker living in Quahog, Rhode Island. It’s time for a huge, freakin’ celebration because “Family Guy” has been on television for 21 years.
