Good news! The best of the three MacFarlane shows

- I agree. At first I wasn’t a huge fan of the show, but it grew on me after a little while. Next to the Venture Bros., it is my favorite animated show on TV.

Awesome news – it really is the best of the 3 MacFarlane shows; Roger is wicked funny.

But does having it spread over two seasons means only 11 new episodes each year? That would kind of suck.

There is actually only 23 episodes that haven’t aired yet – the entire 22 episodes that make up the sixth production season, plus one episode from the fifth production season.

These episodes from the newly-ordered seventh production season won’t be broadcast until March/April 2012 at the earliest.
