Last Night’s Television Ratings: Fox Dominates Sunday Night Animation
Last night’s television ratings saw Fox’s animated lineup deliver a strong performance, with Family Guy achieving its best rating since 2023. Despite a NASCAR-induced delay pushing the show to a 10 PM timeslot, Family Guy scored a 0.27 rating in the coveted Adults 18-49 demographic. This impressive number suggests the show might have benefited from the lead-in audience, though a potential decline in next week’s ratings is anticipated.
Analyzing Fox’s Animation Block Performance
Grimsburg, airing after Family Guy, retained only about half of its lead-in with a 0.14 rating. While this performance appears weak, it surpasses previous seasons’ numbers. Despite having established animated series like The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and Family Guy, Fox seems committed to Grimsburg. Its strategic placement following Family Guy indicates a desire for the show to succeed.

Beyond animation, Fox saw successes with Doc, which reached a season high of 0.27, significantly improving its chances for renewal. Similarly, Animal Control hit a 0.25 rating, its best performance since 2023. However, Going Dutch struggled with a 0.16 rating, retaining a smaller portion of its lead-in audience from Animal Control.
Current Renewal Predictions:
- Likely Renewals: Family Guy, Grimsburg, Doc, and Animal Control.
- Likely Cancellation: Going Dutch.
These predictions are based on current performance and network strategy. Final renewal decisions will depend on various factors, including overall season performance and future programming plans. Last night’s television ratings suggest a strong future for Fox’s animation block, while other shows face an uncertain fate.
