24 Years Ago, Family Guy Got Cancelled for the First Time (And Its Last Episode Is Still Its Most Bizarre)

Originally, Family Guy was canceled after two seasons, but Fox gave it a limited chance to improve with a few more episodes. Unfortunately, those episodes weren’t enough to secure its future on the network. The last episode aired, “Family Guy Viewer Mail No.1,” would have been the show’s finale if it hadn’t later become incredibly popular through reruns and DVD sales. Twenty-four years ago today, it almost marked the end of the series.
