Editor’s Note: Additional scheduling information to be announced.
THIS SEASON ON FAMILY GUY
The Season 23 premiere of Family Guy will parody Top Gun, which will chronicle Peter/Maverick getting together with Lois/Charlie, the tragic death of Joe/Goose, and Peter/Maverick’s blooming relationship with Chris/Rooster.
Additionally, this season, Peter runs into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a brewery tour, Lois becomes a stand-up comedian and Meg starts dating a chicken she meets on a reality dating show.
THIS SEASON ON GRIMSBURG
On the Season Two premiere of Grimsburg, starring and executive produced by Jon Hamm (Fargo, Mad Men), Harmony (Erinn Hayes) pushes Flute (Hamm) to move out, resulting in him moving into a house haunted by a doting housewife.
Things soon go awry when Flute invites everyone for an adult party at his house, and Flute’s disregard of the ghost prompts her to threaten their lives in the all-new “Haunted Housewife” episode of Grimsburg.
Additionally, Martin Short joins the cast for Season Two in the recurring role of Otis Volcanowitz. Otis is Grimsburg’s newest detective and also its youngest. Fortunately, there’s nothing the mean streets of this town can throw at him that’s scarier than what he’s seen in the third-grade cubbies.
THIS SEASON ON THE GREAT NORTH
On the Season Five premiere of The Great North, Wolf finally gets cast on the local Alaskan survival show Dropped Off To Die, but when he’s out early, his shame leads him to sneak home and hide on the Tobin property instead in “The Prince of Hides Adventure” episode.
Additionally this season, Ham starts performing at Yet-E-Cheddar’s and develops a strange relationship with an animatronic Yeti Van Halen, that puts his relationship with Crispin in jeopardy in the all-new “Bots On The Side Adventure” episode.
And just when Honeybee thinks she’s conquered every danger in Alaska, a new one pushes her to the limit in a horror-inspired episode in the all-new “Silence Of The Dams Adventure” episode.
THIS SEASON ON KRAPOPOLIS
In an all-new episode of Krapopolis, airing Sunday, Feb. 16 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT), everyone knows The Fates, but what about their brother, John Fate? In the episode, Deliria’s (Emmy-nominee Hannah Waddingham, Ted Lasso) clairvoyant ex comes to town and gives the family some bad news in the “John Fate Comes a-Knockin” episode.
THIS SEASON ON THE SIMPSONS
On Sunday, March 30 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Season 36 of The Simpsons — the longest-running primetime scripted show in television history – debuts with Bart dipping his toe into the world of celebrity DJ-ing, and Homer finally pushes Flanders too far in “The Flandshees of Innersimpson,” episode.
Jane Kaczmarek and Rachel Bloom make guest voice appearances.
