TBS Picks Up 'Futurama' and 'The Family Guy'

Beginning Monday TBS will air episodes of "Futurama" and "The Family Guy" during a "special run" of the cult-favorite programs.

"Futurama and "The Family Guy" have proven to be stellar hits among adults 18 to 34 for the late-night Cartoon Network Adult Swim crowd, and we are confident they will prove to be equally popular during the afternoons on TBS Superstation," said Steve Koonin, executive VP and chief operating officer of TBS.

The episodes will air weekdays at 2 and 2:30 p.m.(ET).

I wonder what will happen to The Fresh Prince.

Here is the link to the actual release from Turner.

Wow. It's pretty risque to air the episodes that early in the day. I don't think this will go over too well.
