editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:35:34 GMT

The last of the Comic-Con schedules have been released and we now have a full list of TV shows, movies, and other entities attending this year's festivities. You've all been waiting for it: Sunday will play host to the Supernatural and Smallville panels. Can't wait? Neither can we. Unfortunately, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki aren't confirmed as of yet, but who knows what will happen over the next couple of weeks.

Sunday is "Kid's Day" so there are a lot of Kid friendly activities included in the schedule. Obviously, those activities aren't in our top picks for the day so if you'd like to check them out, view the full schedule here.

The highlight, for me, is that Buffy The Musical will be the last Comic-Con activity this year. Way to go out with a bang!

Check out our picks below.

FOX Fall Schedule: 'Dollhouse' Renewed, 'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 6

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 18 May 2009 10:16:05 GMT

Today FOX officially announced its schedule for the 2009-2010 TV season, and some of the changes are huge.?? Aside from the great news that Dollhouse will be coming back for a second season, the other big story is that So You Think You Can Dance, which premieres its fifth season this Thursday, will air in the Fall as well for an immediate sixth season.

The So You Think You Can Dance move is unusual, but helps to balance out the schedule since FOX has American Idol in the Spring.?? It also gives FOX the chance to do direct competition with Dancing with the Stars, a show that in recent seasons has taken several professional from former SYTYCD contestants.

FOX Animation Season Finale Previews

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 17 May 2009 07:00:05 GMT

Cartoons on FOX are coming to an end, sort of. It's going to be one exciting season finale Sunday for three of the network's acclaimed animated series. The comedy begins at 8pm with The Simpsons, (then King of the Hill sneaks in with its series finale), followed by Family Guy and finally American Dad.

Tonight's episode of The Simpsons is titled "Coming to Homerica," an obvious parody of the 1988 Eddie Murphy film. Though the series is nearing the end of its 20th season, we won't be surprised if it would return for another run.

FOX Orders Another Season of 'American Dad'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Just in time for Election Day, FOX has cast its vote of confidence to American Dad for yet another season. The animated series from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has averaged just fewer than 7 million viewers anchoring the network's Animation Domination Sunday but has proved to be a phenomenal hit.

The renewal of American Dad comes on the heels of the cancellation of the network's long-running animated series King of the Hill, following 13 seasons. For the midseason, the network has a pair of animated comedy offerings, including The Cleveland Show and Sit Down, Shut Up.

Network: FOX

Premiere: Sunday, September 28, 8-10pm

Premise: Once again, FOX leaves its Sunday nights alone, using its two-hour animation block to win over younger audiences. Wisely, the network has avoided scheduling any non-animated shows here, as they typically fail (see: The Loop, Unhitched, The Winner, The War at Home).

American Dad: FOX Press Junket Table Read Review

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 16:25:26 GMT

I'm a Family Guy fan. Ever since that very first episode FOX aired after the Super Bowl a few years back and the Kool-Aid guy jumped through the wall of the Quahog court house, I was hooked. The show has its detractors, and gripes that Guy is non-plot centric and that the jokes are uniformly random are valid, but a comedy's supposed to make you laugh, and more often than not that's what Family Guy does. When American Dad came on to the scene, it just felt like a lesser Family Guy, a vehicle for all of the parent show's rejected jokes, Family Guy's B-sides, the minor leagues. I never got into it. Family Guy was enough. However, when we got the chance last week to be present for a special American Dad table read at the FOX Fall press junket in LA, featuring the entire cast in person, I jumped at the chance. How could I not?

The third season of FOX's American Dad begins airing tonight with an episode entitled "Vacation Goo." When Francine finds out that all of their family vacations are just fake memories Stan created by sticking them in goo, she demands a real vacation, preferably a cruise.

However, when the vacation seems too good to be true, Francine grows convinced that the CIA is behind everything and causes the entire family to suffer the consequences. Meanwhile, Roger tries his best to become the greatest actor who has ever lived.

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 06:00:00 GMT

Agent Stan Smith and his obscure family return for another season. Earlier this month, FOX has renewed the satirical animated series American Dad, extending the order through to the 2008-2009 season and bringing the show’s overall episode count to 84.

In line with the extended order of American Dad, executive producers Rick Wiener and Kenny Schwartz have also inked a two-year overall deal with the show’s producer, 20th Century Fox TV Studio. The contract, which has an option for a third year, is reportedly under a seven-figure agreement. Consequently, Wiener and Schwartz will continue working on American Dad as producers, alongside fellow co-creators Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman.

Finally. After a month of holidays, egg nog, and more Snoopy and Ralphie Parker than one knows what to do with, we're finally back to normal. January is upon us, 2007 has begun its tyrannical, 300-plus day reign, and our favorite TV shows will no longer bludgeon us with repeats. Tomorrow, January 3rd, brings the return of a couple of our favorites, as well as two brand new shows. After that, the flood begins, and over the next month virtually every original program will air new episodes. A full list of the returning dates for most every show on television is after the jump.

American Dad: Fall Preview

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 14:34:20 GMT

American Dad The animated American Dad isn't an official spin-off of Family Guy, but it might as well be. Created in the aftermath of the 2004 presidential election, American Dad makes it living satirizing the uber-patriotic. This is another case of a show just not being funny. There really isn't much else to say. I'm a Family Guy addict, but American Dad doesn't do it for me and I'm surprised it's still on the air.
