edit: since it's a snipe and allbull3964 posted:I mean, Bob's Burgers is still trucking along at the same high quality so it's not totally alone. Admittedly I never really understood the appeal of Bob's Burgers. I've seen a couple of episodes (of course I don't remember which ones anymore), and they were fine, but nothing to really write home about. It kind of reminded me of late-stage Parks & Rec, just kind of dull with unsatisfying conclusions.

Not to derail too much longer on Bob's Burgers but I did recently read that around season 4 or 5 Loren Bouchard decided to tone down the adult humor and focus more on family friendly stuff for the show. That's why in earlier seasons there's dildos and Tori Amos doppelgangers singing about their vaginas and now a days there's not. I wasn't sold on the show until I realized its a colab from both Jim Dauterive and Loren Bouchard, like a Home Movie/King of the Hill love child. I mean Teddy is essentially Bill. All that will be on the pop quiz later on, Dadders!

It was an amazing episode. My wife who was half asleep when I was watching it, asked why there was a warlock all of the sudden and the answer can only be genuine

Which in my opinion was a mistake, it got toned down too much, it's got no edge at all anymore

Yeah, I didn't mind it as the other Sunday night show in the early seasons, but just fell off at some point. Every time I've randomly caught Bob's Burgers since then, it's been more annoying than funny.

I get that it’s a similarly designed show without being a spin-off, but I think that’s doing AD a massive injustice. Great North is still not quite there as a show. It’s fine, but there’s no edge, and often very little humour. Somehow it’s not been cancelled yet?

American Dad rules because it's very bizarre humor in this very specific tone and it just wholeheartedly commits to it 100 percent. The fact that they're still consistently threading that needle this far into the show is insane.

I couldn't decide whether to post: "That's where I used to sleep in my car until a judge and I came to a mutual agreement that Francine be rewarded that car and I remain 80 yards away at all times." Or "I was busy being awesome, eating really expensive cookies whenever I want, swimming in all the oceans, and not having any parasites." So I posted both.

Well, that answers two questions. If the seasons will be made and if they will be the last. Hopefully Hulu picks it up afterwards.

So Disney is holding them to continue to air the show for two seasons, and then Warner-Discovery likely stops, leaving the show without a network, unless Disney throws it on a streamer?

They’ll almost certainly put it on Hulu, which Disney also own.

On a show this long running it was probably a "play or pay" deal where WB had no way out. As for after that... who knows? Disney is building a little bit of an adult animation collection on Hulu so they might see AD as a good property to draw the established fans into new stuff too. Or they could finally retire it and just serve up the existing episodes.

They are holding them to their financial obligation of two more seasons. Will those air on TBS? Who knows. They'll be made, where they finally end up is a big question. They could make them and shelve them, hoping to sell them off to someone else. They could air on Adult Swim instead of TBS. They could try to sell them back to Disney. So, they will be made and hopefully we'll be able to see them someday. If Adult Swim didn't exist, I would say that they were more likely to try to shelve and sell since TBS doesn't seem like the right home for them anymore. I do think regardless, it's probably going to be a larger gap than normal to see these last two seasons as they try to figure out how to extract maximum revenue from their airing. I just hope that the ball gets rolling on a transition to somewhere else prior to these two seasons getting completed or it will be an even larger gap, if ever, before the show comes back.

You're forgetting that after another two years of this poo poo, Warner-Discovery will be like Familyland during lockdown: broken down into a collection of violent fiefdoms that threaten even Zaslav (who remains locked away at home, trying to film a reality show based on his apathetic wife, who remains locked away at home for fear of the violent fiefdoms).

Goddamn it, Zaslav really hates animation. Here's hoping Disney is interested in making more, since apparently they already own in? But if they own it why is Warner Bros making decisions about it? Companies don't make sense anymore.....

An honorable mention to Greg's monolauge before he died where he kept putting off saying who the killer is. The Colonel is one of those characters I wanted to keep on coming back but I'm content with having him die for the jokes.

That dude is single handedly creating a cartoon dark age. Those were all shows produced by Warner. Disney makes American Dad. Warner just pays for the rights to air it on TBS and Adult Swim. If they wanted to stop airing it they could but they wouldn't have any tax write-off to take since they don't make it. It likely costs less to keep airing it than any cancelation fees they would owe Disney.
