Hope you weren't looking forward to Sunday's Fox Animation Domination three-way crossover stunt.
It is no more. It has ceased to be.
At least until next season.
Seth MacFarlane's Sunday slate of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show had been promoting a joint May 1 storyline built around a hurricane. And natural disaster isn't exactly an escapist topic right now, considering the tornadoes that tore through the South this week and killed hundreds.
So Fox pulled the promos and substituted repeat episodes.
Here are descriptions from Fox of the replacements to air this Sunday (May 1), followed by Fox loglines of the episodes now postponed until fall:
----------
SUNDAY, MAY 1
[EDITOR'S NOTE: CLE-210 replaces the previously announced episode of THE CLEVELAND SHOW; FG-807 replaces the previously announced episode of FAMILY GUY; and DAD-521 replaces the previously announced episode of AMERICAN DAD.]
