If they're keeping that damn black bar across the bottom of the screen, I can think of better places for FG to be shown...at least CN doesn't cut the eps or split-screen the credits.
I agree. The New TNN or whatever it is now is too annoying to watch. There is too much going on the screen besides the program you're trying to watch. I think the Cartoon Network has done an pretty good job with Family Guy.
CN is creating new shows, so who knows, maybe they'll read their own press (RE: FG ratings) and startup production. Probably not, but I'd rather see it on CN than "The Channel Formerly Known as the Nashville Network"!

I don't get it. Spike has committed to producing new animated shows like Striperella and Howard Stern and is asking for other ideas, and all people here can do is whine and say "New Family Guy? Not with that blaack baaar..."
Fine. Enjoy the next season of King of The Hill. I'm sure it will be brilliant.

Amen to that...plus the aformentioned policy of leaving the end credits intact w/out split-screening or even VOs. Besides, if ratings continue to be high, CN just might be interested in ordering new eps for themselves, provided they can get Seth and Co to return.
All this TNN bashing is all good and such, but dont be talking smack about the Network thats bringing back Ren and Stimpy. Atleast they've done something good.
Amen. Ren & Stimpy was my favorite cartoon before John K. left. Then it just got stupid. Word is John K. will be producing some of the new R & S material.
But a bigger issue is being ignored here. Adult Swim will soon have direct competition from Spike TV (assuming Spike Lee doesn't win his lawsuit) in the late-night adult cartoon genre, which could affect the ratings for both FG and Futurama. Browsing through their new series, I can say that I won't watch anything of theirs except Ren & Stimpy, but many other people will. New FG episodes would be too "high-brow" when compared to such quality work as Pamela Anderson's "Stripperrella".
BTW, Ren & Stimpy's new show will debut at 10 PM on Thursday, June 26th. Thank god I won't have to choose between it and Futurama/Family Guy.

Ewww! No! tha'd be like...Peter's voice being done by Tom Kenny or E G Daily! It HAS to be B.W.!
(five bucks says that one of those people...including the guy who did the voice of Darkwing Duck and one half of catdog...is going to be on the new episodes. Those people are in everything!)

Too bad TNN aka Spike TV is tied in with WWE... I'd rather see them air NWA-TNA. Far better 'rasslin than what WWE is at the moment.... alas if NWA ends up on any network I suspect that it will be Fox.

you're preachin' to the choir, homy. preach on, lol. wwe has made me quit watching wrestling for the most part. I still follow nwa-tna, but have yet to see one of their shows. as far as ecw, they were the best I think. paul heyman is a genius, and if vince would have realized that more is better, for fans that is, maybe he would'nt of been so ruthless in his buisiness ventures. but that is enough out of me for now, eh. peace, love, and butts.

Dave ([email]) previously said the following crap:
WWE isn't wrestling anymore... its a spectacle of watching Triple H walk to the ring rrrreeeaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll slow to the same tired Motorhead song... spit the water real slow... etc etc etc.
Order it this upcoming Wednesday. Jeff Jarret vs AJ Styles vs Raven for the NWA Worlds Championship. Well worth $10 just for that match alone. Jarret has been a good champ, but its time for him to pass the belt, and both AJ and Raven are more than worthy of getting a title run. I'm going for Raven myself
The whole RVD/Sabu fued alone proves that.. or Raven/Sandman for that matter.
Vince McMahon is a complete clueless idiot, I mean Paul Heyman was turning Smackdown around a few months ago by booking solid shows with solid matches. What does Vince do. Take Heyman out completely and starts the whole lameass Mr. America shit. I really feel sorry for any of the good talent still in WWE - namely Tommy Dreamer, Chris Benoit, Tenazous Z (aka Zach Gown - he wrestled on NWA-TNA a few times before WWE picked him up), Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, and - most importantly - the newly returned and is already considered by many to be one of the greatest in modern history 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist and multiple WWE title holder...
