Look at the article I just found.
"Family Guy" was never a big hit for FOX, but its fans were among the more passionate TV viewers around during its often sporadically scheduled three-season run.
That passion doesn't appear to have wavered much, either: About 1.5 million copies of the animated series' two DVD sets have been sold, and repeats of the show in Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block bring solid ratings. The interest in "Family Guy" is high enough that FOX is even considering putting the show back into production.
The DVD sets and Cartoon Network airings have "created kind of a groundswell that could lead to better ratings," FOX chairman Sandy Grushow tells USA Today. Grushow thinks the show, created by Seth MacFarlane, may have been a little ahead of its time.
A decision on resuming production is expected soon. Any new episodes likely wouldn't hit airwaves before 2005, and if they do, it's not clear whether they would air on FOX or Cartoon Network.
