6. “Family Guy” (1999 - present)
The story of the Griffins is a sordid tale full of twists, upsets, and a straight-out-of-a-film-esque return to popularity. Starting in the beginning of 1999, “Family Guy” wasn’t considered a hit by FOX, who axed the show after two seasons. However, reruns on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim drove interest in the series skyward, which also translated to phenomenal DVD sales. Based on the cart loads of cash the first two seasons DVD box sets brought in, FOX greenlit a new season of “Family Guy” in 2004, marking the first revival of a television show based on DVD sales. Since then, “Family Guy” has been a pillar of FOX’s Sunday Night animation line-up, which now includes a spin-off of “Family Guy” — “The Cleveland Show” starring Peter’s neighbor Cleveland. — Alex Cook
