American Dad is finally returning to TV after a sudden decision by Fox to pull Sons of Tucson from the Sunday line-up. According to The Futon Critic the freshman comedy than made its debut on Fox earlier in the year pulled a series-low of 3.13 million viewers on Sunday night. American Dad will return with new episodes from the current fifth season in its original slot of Sundays 9.30pm ET/PT immediately.
The first new episode will be Cops & Roger with guest voice Bobby Cannavale (Cold Case and Will & Grace) as Detective Miglachio this Sunday:-
"After Roger and Francine are victims of a mugging, Roger joins the police academy so he can learn how to defend himself and his loved ones, but he falls in with a corrupt cop (guest voice Cannavale) who leads him astray. Meanwhile, Hayley's new friendship threatens her long-term relationship."
Merlot Down Dirty Shame follows on Sunday 18th:-
"When Roger and Francine go wine-tasting, Roger plants a big kiss on Francine in a drunken moment. Francine decides to tell Stan about this incident, but when they sit down to talk, Roger convinces Stan that Francine started it all."
Tuscon will return to Fox from June 6th at the much earlier time of 7.30pm ET/PT. Once again Seth MacFarlane will be dominating the Sunday line-up on Fox!

@Phil, I don’t think it is in immediate trouble of cancellation, but it does seem odd the way Fox treat the show. Back in October Fox did order a sixth season of American Dad.
Sadly I think that the arrival of The Cleveland Show has meant that if one of Seth’s shows have to be knocked out of the schedules then it’s Dad.

Seems weird; American Dad is extremely funny. I’m so glad it’s back on. It’s like they save the best for last(my opinion) every Sunday night.
I just wish they wouldn’t do so much with Roger every week. I know he’s popular, but don’t overkill it. More Stan the Man CIA stuff!
