SHILO: If Brooklyn Nine-Nine doesn’t find an audience on Sundays, did FOX make a mistake in breaking up its Animation Domination lineup?
CRAIG: I don’t think so… but then again, I grew up at a time when Married… With Children was a Sunday night staple. I think the humor of B99 will fit in perfectly with the Simpsons/Family Guy sandwich. I’d almost rather have that over, say, another year of American Dad on FOX. If anything, the Sunday night slot will hopefully expose the world to something FOX and many critics see as a great series.
I also think FOX Sundays will be up in general. The Simpsons is the most relevant it’s been in over 15 years; the crossover between Simpsons and Family Guy should also boost things a lot. Now is a good time to be in the FOX Sunday mix, unless, of course, your name might be John Mulaney.
