American Dad is Moving to TBS

[Venardhi]

As established earlier in the thread, it was delayed from this coming season, but will most likely still be produced for next year or the year after.

No, it's dead. They might bring it back in the future sometime but it's not being planned anymore.

Yeah that was what I heard. A quick search yielded nothing past the complete cancellation of plans from a few months back. I don't know where this "It's been put back" business is coming from.

I can't find it now, but I remember an interview a couple months back (after Fox announced that it wasn't going to be on the schedule this season) where MacFarlane said he was retooling it and to expect it within the next couple years. Perhaps I misunderstood what he meant by that, but he was definitely still planning to make it.

According to Wikipedia

It was announced that Family Guy creator (and Hanna-Barbera alumnus) Seth MacFarlane would be reviving The Flintstones for the Fox network, with the first episode airing in 2013. The program was indefinitely delayed from the 2013 date however, due to MacFarlane's schedule.

"Delayed indefinitely" certainly doesn't sound promising, but it isn't quite a cancellation. Although, I guess that's just splitting hairs.

Every interview I read says he's too busy and that they really don't see the point of doing The Flintstones now because every TV dad is based of Fred anyways. And he's right, Peter and the dad from America Dad can all be related to Fred Flintstone.

It's deader than a(prehistoric)dodo.

I've been catching up on this season on Hulu and I have to say that right now the show seems to be better than ever and definitely the best of the Fox sitcoms right now.

The move away from Roger-centric episodes and towards more stories involving Steve has helped the program tremendously.

I have to admit, however, I was a little surprised by the recent "fake ID" episode when they said that Hayley wasn't yet 21. I'd assumed the character was older by now.

 

[Mr Light]

that threw me too I thought she was like 30 at this point for some reason!

 

[the G-man]

I wouldn't have guessed 30 however I definitely thought at least 22 or 23 maybe even 25

Well the show started in 2005, and she hasn't appeared to have been in college since the early seasons...

True, but by that logic, Steve should be in grad school now.
