Family Guy went to Cartoon Network for a while, where it got good ratings. I think that's why Fox picked it up again.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I don't have any hard evidence to back this up, but it seems like there is a lot of internal rivalry between Fox Broadcasting and Fox Productions. Family Guy might not be profitable for Fox Broadcasting, but since it will live forever in syndication (or at least until the pop culture references become stale), it should be enormously profitable for Fox Productions. Internal power struggles seem to determine which half of the business has the upper hand.

Cheers Allyson, and regarding violence I can't see The Inside being cut for UK consumption. And if I was a betting man, I'd say The Inside will be bought by Sky One satellite/cable wise and Channel 5 terresterial wise. UK telly is kinda rubbish here at the moment (apart from Doctor Who) so it will be a very pleasant treat to watch what Mr Minear can come up with.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Dear Tim,
I know you're pragmatic, given the losses. And I'm not going to make you giddy and starry-eyed, because I have not the power to do so.
I'm giddy and starry-eyed enough for everyone registered here.
I'm just deliriously in love with The Inside. And you should be too. And I think you are and you just won't admit it because that'd be squishy lovey stuff and you don't do squishy-lovey.
Love, Allyson

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What the hell happened? Did someone put magic into her heart or something?
Allys♥n! Are you okay?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did someone put magic into her heart or something?
The magic leaked out of her spleen and now it's marinating her cardiovascular system.
I think she might need some unicorns-under-rainbows stationary now.

I missed the deleted post. Please someone email me what I missed.
I'll bake cookies or something.
Dang. I can't believe I didn't think of this. Ditto. Or, there could be small quantities of cash.
