Another Networkd for Family Guy?

Why can't Family Guy just sign on to another network besides FOX? They could find another channel that's interested!!!

UPN was interested after Fox cancelled it the first time...but then they decided to keep it for another season...so who knows.

I hope UPN takes them and FG becomes a success in ratings, oh that would be sweet justice. I'm sure mcfarlane is not going to set back and retire, he'll probably get FG or other projects going, at least I hope. "Sweet Zombie Jesus" wrote in message news:xM848.13413$[email]...

If UPN takes it, FG would be one of its highest rated shows. It averages around a 3.5 to 4. Enterprise gets a 5.5 and has to cost 5 times more than FG to produce.

FG

I thought Family Guy was $1.2 million an episode? Surely Enterprise doesn't cost $6 million an episode.

1.2 an episode?, where does the money go?

Animation costs money...

Didnt realise that much.

I think a lot of it has to do with the amount of people it costs to make an animated sitcom.

(concerning The Simpsons) "UltimateTV: How many people are on staff?

Mike Scully: I've heard it's around 500. Sometimes the show will have a party . I'll go and won't know half the people there. But I know I work with them. It's a very spread-out show: Half the animation is done here; the other half in Korea. We also have a 60-piece orchestra that scores the show every week with new music. And there are about 16 writers on staff. It adds up very quickly."

While I'm sure Family Guy didn't have a staff of 500, or close to that, I'd wager with all the animators, it's probably a lot bigger than the staff of say, Titus.

I thought UPN simply couldn't afford Family Guy?

Comedy Central can't......if UPN can afford Buffy (about 2 mil an episode) and Enterprise, they can afford Family Guy.

Why doesn't Sean McFarlane go to one of the big Hollywood studios & ask them to finance Family Guy - The Movie! :o)))

That way it'll put Family Guy back on the map for TV companies to ask Sean McFarlane to make a new series of Family Guy for their network!

What do you think?

Anyway, i'm very upset that the funniest show on TV is about to be axed! :o(((

Whos Sean?? Is that Seth's brother??
