Have you ever seen Family Guy? It's an animated comedy created by Seth MacFarlane.
Family Guy is hilarious!  I feel like it has been on forever!
Yes, it first aired on Fox in 2000!
Wow!  It has been on forever!  Has the show ever won any awards?
Yes it has! But it was actually canceled by Fox in 2002.
Really?  What was the reason for cancellation?
Low ratings, however favorable DVD sales and ratings for reruns on Adult Swim prompted Fox to renew it in 2004.
