Family Guy on ITV2 from the Autumn

Did they really want Cleveland or was that show forced upon them?

I doubt they were bothered about anything except Family Guy. Conversely, it's not like overnights on ITV2 are jam packed, particularly since ITV Be spliced off a load of content.

They probably got a better deal buying the whole group of programmes together, including Cleveland, and it will still probably do ok, even if its just used as filler or just late night stuff.
It certainly wasn't the best series ever created, but I would happily have it on when there was nothing else on.

that's what I was thinking, but I can see why they used the ITV logo. It would have been better if they mixed the characters up too instead of taking three promotional pictures for each show and lining them up on a backdrop.

Disagree. It's more obvious it's all three shows that way as each unit is together. Just a little bit easier to glance at it and see.

It's good that they put American Dad in the middle, as having the Griffins and Browns together wouldn't make it obvious that they're advertising The Cleveland Show, since he brought his new family to Quahog upon his show's axing (hence they'll be in some of the new Family Guy episodes).

In regards to the American Dad rights according to this article; the exclusive first run rights will be on FOX UK and ITV2 will have the repeat and FTA rights.

That pretty bad, the UK has to wait over an year to get the new series.

BBC Three had the same issue.

So what's happening with Family Guy? Wiki says ITV2 gets Family Guy from Season 15 (if it gets that far, looking at the recent ratings) so does BBC Three get Seasons 13 and 14?

Season 15 to us (or Season 13 as it is referred to in the USA) starts soon on BBC 3 and they also have access to all the previous seasons before that until 2017.

The only Family Guy you'll see on ITV 2 is Season 16 (Season 14 to the USA) and every new season after that (and repeats of them). Presumably they will get access to Seasons 1-15 after 2017 when the rights for the BBC expire.

They also have all the back catalogue of American Dad and every new series made from here on and also all 4 seasons of The Cleveland Show.

So, essentially, you'll see a lot of American Dad and Cleveland on ITV 2 for the next 2 years, then they will cram loads of Family Guy in when they get access to hundreds of old episodes in 2 years.

Not forgetting the new show Bordertown, which they'll probably pair-up with the new episodes of Family Guy.
