Family Guy is joining Comedy Central in an increasingly rare off-broadcast sale to a cable network. The off-Fox animated sitcom will launch on the network in an all-day marathon on Monday, September 2, which is Labor Day, and then join Comedy Central’s primetime lineup on Tuesday, September 3.
"We are excited to welcome Family Guy to Comedy Central joining the best in adult animation alongside South Park, Futurama, and Beavis and Butt-Head, among others," Laurel Weir, executive VP and head of programming, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks, said in a statement. “Delivering bold, irreverent and culturally impactful content to our fans is our top priority, which makes Family Guy the perfect complement to our robust adult animation slate.”
