Family Guy‘s return to Fox with the first in a string of new episodes on Sunday night was watched by the smallest audience of the season so far. According to EW.com Family Guy was watched by 7.2 million (season 7 premièred with 9.2 million viewers). American Dad managed an audience of 5.3 million viewers.
EW.com point out that Daylight Saving Time could hold some of the responsibility for the general drop in audiences at the weekend; however, a general absence of new Family Guy episodes this run has surely not helped.

Yeah, it’s because they not airing reguluary.
But their fans sees now the episodes on the Web!
Simpsons has low, also, I think, didn’t they have 5.99 Million Viewers! … So Family Guy Beat Them.
But Family Guy must save episodes, cause of Cleveland.

Family Guy used to be great, however Seth McFarlane has started using the show to promote a very left wing view on things.
I used to like it but now I’m just kind of disgusted with it.
