Fox Pulls "Family Guy" and "American Dad" in Wake of School Shooting

Fox has quietly replaced Sunday's all-new episodes of "Family Guy" and "American Dad" with repeats.

A network source indicated that the change was made to avoid airing any potentially sensitive content in light of Friday's elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., which has now reportedly left 28 people dead (including 20 children).



The episodes -- "Family Guy's" 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph!' and "American Dad's" "Minstrel Krampus" -- will be replaced with, respectively, repeats of 'Grumpy Old Man' at 9 p.m. and 'Wheels & The Legman and The Case of Grandpa's Key' at 9:30 p.m.

In addition, the 7 p.m. repeat of "The Cleveland Show" titled 'Die Semi-Hard' has been replaced by 'Menace II Secret Society', another repeat.

you know, if an episode of a show has content that is so objectionable during a "sensitive" time, maybe it wasn't that good an idea to begin with.

some of the previous episodes with just over-the top gratuitous violence i just don't find funny, and don't see why they have to take it so far - i can't even watch the so-called American Dad "Christmas Specials".

Absolutely! Maybe this will make people rethink what we spend our time watching as "entertainment"

Relax Cartoon Network will air them just in time for Christmas.

There is no new airdate set yet for the pulled "American Dad" episode.

I heard that the pulled episode features gun violence.

did it ever get aired?

Maybe it will be released on DVD like Partial Terms Of Endearment was.

Maybe it will be released on DVD like Partial Terms Of Endearment was. No it never aired.

The pulled Christmas episode of American Dad!, "Minstrel Krampus" did, in fact, air last night (16 December 2013).

"Minstrel Krampus" was no surprise, considering Seth's last several "Christmas" episodes.
