What would YOUR Fox Animation Domination line-up look like?

First of all this is the first thread I've made in like a year so congrats to me for making a thread once again, even it thats completely pointless and irrelevant! :D

Anyway, IMO, the line-up of these Sunday FOX cartoons is important and probably often overlooked by FOX. For example, it's hard for me to actually sit down and watch American Dad AFTER FG as opposed to BEFORE FG because it takes so much energy to watch FG that after it I usually end up going on to do something else. American Dad also worked better and seemed like it was of better quality when it aired before FG. So basically, I think the order the shows are played in should be rearranged a bit before this Cleveland Show begins airing. My order would look like this (central time).

7:00 - The Cleveland Show
7:30 - Simpsons
8:00 - King of The Hill (if there's any episodes left)
8:30 - American Dad
9:30 - Family Guy

Cleveland Show first because I don't see think anyone wants to see an hour and a half of Seth MacFarlane's Calvacade of Cartoon Sitcoms, plus the Simpsons would work better if it didn't kick things off.
 
7:00 and 7:30 are basically death slots, though, and you're missing something in the 9:00 slot.

I'd keep it the same but with American Dad between Simpsons and Family Guy, and then the Cleveland Show at the end personally. Which is basically what they'll be doing midseason.

This is what Fox has announced the schedule as being:

Fall 2009
8:00 - The Simpsons
8:30 - The Cleveland Show
9:00 - Family Guy
9:30 - American Dad

Winter/Spring 2010
7:30 - American Dad
8:00 - The Simpsons
8:30 - Sons of Tucson (live-action)
9:00 - Family Guy
9:30 - The Cleveland Show

Though if/when Sons of Tucson flops the schedule will probably just go back to the Fall 2009 one. I'm guessing KOTH will finish off in the 7:30 slot, the schedule didn't say.
 
MY personal line-up? Well, first and foremost, "Futurama" wouldn't be cancelled, and "King of the Hill" wouldn't be on the chopping block. "The Simpsons" would be long gone since at least Season 14; or, if I couldn't cancel it, I'd at least put it in the 7:30 death slot so I wouldn't have to deal with it as much. "Family Guy" would still be around, but it'd be retooled to be everything it used to be again (i.e. more likeable characters, stronger plots, actual humor, etc.). I'd keep "American Dad", but we really don't need "The Cleveland Show". So ultimately, we'd have this:

7:00 - The usual NFL postgame crap
7:30 - The Simpsons
8:00 - Futurama
8:30 - King of the Hill
9:00 - Family Guy
9:30 - American Dad

Yes, I know I haven't a chance in hell. Yes, I know people will disagree with me. That's why it's MY Animation Domination dream line-up, and not somebody else's.
 
Unless these would be "classic" Futurama episodes (which as we know is just TV talk for reruns), airing Futurama at 7:30pm wouldn't be a good idea. King of the Hill's ratings were terrible when FOX aired the series in that time slot. 7pm-8pm on Sunday nights is a death time slot, for FOX. Nothing can beat the juggernaut that is 60 Minutes. You shouldn't air any show that you cared about during the 7pm hour.

I don't have any ideas for an Animation Domination schedule, myself. My only suggestion is that I think that The Cleveland Show should air on a different night of the week, as I don't think that FOX should be airing 3 Seth Macfarlane produced animated domcoms and The Simpsons all in the space of 1 evening. How many animated dysfunctional families can one stand to see in 1 night?
 
Mine would be this
7:00 Sit Down Shut Up
7:30 King of the Hill
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 The Cleaveland Show
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 American Dad
It would have all the shows without doing that many changes.
 
Wah ha ha! It'd be two to three hours of nothing but Case Closed! I'd move the current ones to Friday night, because I know they'll get viewership on any night, with this, though I suppose it would work on Sunday night as well:
8 PM- The Simpsons
8:30- The Cleveland Show (I place it here because it's the newest show and would maintain the top ratings of the two shows round it, hopefully)
9 PM- Family Guy
9:30- American Dad

If I were doing it for Sunday night, seeing as Sit Down, Shut Up has been canceled, and seeing as King of the Hill is supposed to be over as well, then I'd have programmed Sunday night like this after the football season:

7 PM- Brothers (live action)
7:30- Sons of Tucson (live action)
8 PM- The Simpsons
8:30- The Cleveland Show
9 PM- Family Guy
9:30- American Dad

If the first hour bombed under that schedule, then you could always break out Fifth Grader or Lyrics for that spot, or Futurama and King of the Hill if I decided reruns might be more prosperous. No matter what though, I'd have Animation Domination maintain no more than the current two hour format.
 
7pm-King of the Hill/Sit Down Shut Up (would change every week)
7:30pm-The Cleveland Show
8pm-The Simpsons
8:30pm-Futurama
9pm-Family Guy
9:30pm-American Dad

Easy as that.
 
This is an old thread, but.. here's mine. All new episodes.

7:00PM The Cleveland Show
7:30PM Total Drama Island
8:00PM The Simpsons
8:30PM Family Guy
9:00PM King of the Hill
9:30PM American Dad

I know what you're thinking.. WTH is TDI doing there?
I just feel that it might get better treatment on there, plus it'd be the unedited Canadian version.
 
7:00 Sit Down, Shut Up (remaining episodes)
7:30 King of the Hill (remaining episodes)

After those shows end, around midseason they'll both be replaced for the December/January period by a sampling of Adult Swim shows (The tamer episodes of Aqua Teens, Birdman, Space Ghost, Brak Show, Sealab, etc), after hammering out a deal with Adult Swim for a while until the return of a classic in February:

7:00 Futurama (the four DTV's split into 16 episodes)
7:30 Futurama (older episodes)
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 American Dad
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 The Cleveland Show
 
Disclaimer: This is only a fantasy post, I know there is no way in H that this will actually happen.

For my schedule, from the 8 PM hour on I would leave it the way it is:
8:00PM The Simpsons
8:30PM The Cleveland Show
9:00PM Family Guy
9:30PM American Dad

So, you're asking what I would put in the 7-8 PM slot? Why that's easy, if it were up to me it would be uncut and restored Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, or any other theatrical shorts, like the uncut Tex Avery's or any others that don't get the proper treatment on TV(even on cable) these days.

Please note: Before you say how impractical or how unlikely this is to happen, please read my disclaimer at the top of my post. Thank you.
