Holy crap! Family Guy is making a freakin’ return!

File under: “Shit, yeah, I told you so!”

According to this article at USA Today, Fox may be bringing Family Guy back from the dead… again… with as many as 35 new episodes. Being someone who bought a TiVo pretty much just to record Family Guy reruns, I’m pretty excited.

The show did very well and garnered a ferociously loyal following, but apparently wasn’t pulling big enough numbers to keep Fox comfortable with it’s sometimes controversial content. After being pulled several times, Fox finally pulled the plug and sold the rerun rights to Cartoon Network (once again, thank god for cartoon network). Well, the DVD’s of the shows three seasons were released this past year and they OUTSOLD EVERY OTHER TV SERIES DVD COLLECTION AVAILABLE, making it the FOURTH HIGHEST SELLING COLLECTION OF IT’S KIND… EVER.

“A DVD set of the show’s first 28 episodes released in April has sold nearly 1 million copies, making it this year’s top-selling TV show and the No. 4 television title ever, according to Video Store magazine. A second collection, of 22 episodes, has sold 520,000 copies.”
