All I have to say is that its almost like the show was never cancelled, even though they comment on it in the opening scene before the intro, it still has all the humor and random flashback/cut-scenes that made the show so great to begin with.
This is definately a must watch if you are a fan of the show you can watch it now too if you know where to look

I can't wait to see the new Family Guy. Hopefully, we'll see Futurama soon as well...

I don't think Fox likes their viewers that much...

Oh, and the re-pilot is pretty good. Not FG's best, not FG's worst. An average episode of an average show. I guess it's quintessential FG: extended film parody which is mostly irrelevant to the plot [though funny]. Film reference which is flagrantly integrated into the plot, which ultimately comes off as an artifact of the writers' inability to direct the story line. Oh, and a male/male relationship as male/female dichotomy for a sub-plot. Those are always, always funny, no matter how many times I see it reused.
So, uh, is Stewie teh gh3yz? :¬\

- Aired the new shows around 6 or 7pm Sunday night, just before I remember to turn on the TV
Only shows episodes (even reruns) on sunday around 6/7 (see above)
Plays the sunday night football at 5/6 and dosn't give any mention at all which episodes will air and which will be moved to a later time for that night
Cancels all the good shows
Assumes no one likes their good shows even though they only ever air them at one timeslot
Family Guy rocks, I watched the "Special People's Games" episode during one of my finals in high school (the teacher had an early vacation so we took it early) The rest of the class loved it.

American Dad on the other hand blows. Having it follow Family Guy in particular really exposed how much of an inferior rehash it is. It's like having an Outland comic on the same page as Bloom County. The obvious problem is that the concept is far too similar to the point where each family member literally has a Family Guy equivalent. Seth McFarlane should have come up with something totally different. Futurama worked because it wasn't just The Simpsons in the future.

Stewie spanking Chris was about the funniest thing I've ever seen. And doing the "Die Lois" embroidery in bed with Brian. I didn't really like the whole Mel Gibson plot thing. It's kind of old at this point, being that the movie came out over a year ago, and both South Park and The Simpsons did a Passion of the Christ episode.
And seeing 2 new episodes of The Simpsons in a row was a nice treat. Except the first episode was incredibly stupid.

AD is/was the replacement for FG, and now that FG is back, AD is not needed. The two shows are so similar(characters, humor style, animation) that I wouldn't want AD to dilute the humor that could be in FG because they had to use some of the better jokes in AD to help it succeed instead of just packing it all into FG. Just as was pointed out above, the characters are way too similar, no matter how different they really are?

My guess is American Dad is on the road to cancellation.

And that show is the real AD, Arrested Development.

But Family guy is better, my favorite part of the episode was the GI Joe parody.

I saw Family Guy, good episode, happy to see it back. GI Joe parody ruled, when he appeared all i was waiting for was the "GI Joeeee" end part.
American Dad is okay, but it just seems too similar in character to Family Guy, and so far none of the characters really stand out, like how Stewie did in Family Guy.

And that same week's Family Guy was pretty disappointing compared to the week before's.

"Chris what do you see?"
Chris: stares @/near test for a few seconds
"Two D's and an F"
That was my favorite part of that episode
