First, a disclaimer: I was never a fan of "Family Guy." I found it crude, offensive, and most importantly, not funny at all....

HOWEVER... if strong DVD sales can do this for a long-ago cancelled TV series...

Granted, it's easier to bring back an animated series than it is a live-action one...

But there's always hope. Like hope for Kaylee marrying me.

Oh, almost forgot. Here's the link to USA Today:

and a few snippets:

Quote:

In a sign of the growing importance of DVD sales to Hollywood, 20th Century Fox is considering a plan to resume production of Family Guy, a sometimes crude animated comedy that the Fox network took off the air more than 18 months ago.

As many as 35 new episodes could return in January 2005, marking the first time that a canceled series has been revived based on strong DVD demand and ratings in syndication.

...

The relatively short network run may have helped DVD sales, Video Store's Judith McCourt says. "It really speaks to something that had a following, was cut off network TV, and people said, 'What did I miss?' "
