Prime Time Animation

I was over at Film Roman today, and the crew is working away on the end of the currents season's orders:

"We have one more show in the cycle to do, then there's work on six holdovers for the next season."

The problem is, Fox hasn't yet announced it's actually doing another season, so it's possible the extra six shows are for naught. Hard to believe but some Film Roman artists are a wee bit ... uptight?

But I don't think there's much question that the Yellow Family will go on. ...

Because the ratings are holding up (though coming in way behind the big football game).

Sunday Night TV -- Ratings -- Share

8:00 - The Simpsons (#2) -- 1.2 -- 3.0

9:00 -- Family Guy (#2) -- 1.1 -- 3.0

9:30 -- Bob's Burgers -- 1.0 -- 2.0

With The Simpsons, I believe we'll see a multi-year pickup that will take the show to its 30th season.
