History

Original run

Animation Domination debuted on Fox on May 1, 2005, in time for the last sweeps period of the 2004–05 television season. The first program to originate on the block was American Dad!, although its pilot aired as a Super Bowl lead-out program on February 6, 2005. Rounding out the Animation Domination lineup alongside American Dad! were The Simpsons (the longest-running cartoon on Fox and the network's first primetime animated series, which predated the lineup by 16 years), King of the Hill (which predated the lineup by eight years) and Family Guy (which predated the lineup by six years, and was revived as a series three years after its 2002 cancellation as a result of newfound popularity through reruns on Fox lineup and sales of the first, second, and third-season episodes on DVD).³⁴

Until spring 2010, when Animation Domination only reprised of animated series, live-action programming would commonly occur within the block, including shows like Malcolm in the Middle and The War at Home. King of the Hill later ended on September 13, 2009 on Fox, and was replaced by the Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show for the 2009–10 television season, with the former’s time slot of 8:30 PM.⁵ Four episodes of the series remained, but Fox opted not to air them, later being burn-offed in syndication from May 3–6, 2010. Fox would later premiere Bob's Burgers on January 9, 2011.

Beginning in the fall of 2014, the Animation Domination block was replaced by the Sunday Funday block, with the addition of live-action comedies Brooklyn Nine-Nine (which moved to Sunday night for its second season), freshman series Mulaney (which was canceled in early 2015), and the Will Forte sitcom, The Last Man on Earth. This marks the first time that the network has regularly aired live-action comedies on Sundays (outside of burn-offs of failed weeknight series) since 2005.

Return

The block returned on September 29, 2019, with previous AD series The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy and the new series Bless the Harts. Duncanville debuted on February 16, 2020.

In April 2020, Fox Entertainment announced their partnership with Caffeine to produce the AniDom Beyond Show, a recap show hosted by Andy Richter.⁶ The show aired its finale on May 18, 2020 and it is unknown whether it will return in the future.

The Great North debuted on January 3, 2021.⁷

On May 31, 2021, Animation Domination temporarily expanded into Mondays with Duncanville and the new series HouseBroken.

Two new animated series – Krapopolis and Grimsburg – were originally set to premiere in the 2022–23 season,⁸ but were pushed back to the 2023–24 season.⁹¹⁰ They were each renewed for a second in October 2022.¹¹¹²

On January 18, 2022, Fox announced they would be eyeing a two-hour Monday block in May 2023.¹³

Bless the Harts ended after two seasons on June 20, 2021. A year later, on June 30, 2022, Fox cancelled Duncanville after three seasons¹⁴ and the series concluded on October 18, 2022 with its final six episodes on Hulu.¹⁵

The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers were each renewed for two more seasons through 2025 on January 26, 2023.¹⁶

On March 1, 2023, Krapopolis was renewed for a third season ahead of its premiere on September 24.¹⁷¹⁸ Grimsburg premiered on January 7, 2024.¹⁹ HouseBroken was canceled on May 10, 2024 after two seasons.²⁰ On May 13, 2024, Universal Basic Guys was renewed for a second season ahead of its debut on September 8.²¹²² On July 25, 2024, Krapopolis was renewed for a fourth season, ahead of the show's second season premiere.²³

On February 16, 2025, the whole lineup was delayed by two hours due to rain delays during the 2025 Daytona 500 and The Great North aired a repeat of its fifth season premiere.

On March 21, 2025, it was announced that plans were being made to return American Dad!, which moved to TBS in 2014, back to Fox's Animation Domination lineup, where it would air alongside The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers.²⁴ On April 2, 2025, The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers were each renewed for four seasons and American Dad! was confirmed to be returning to Fox, also for four seasons.²⁵

On May 10, 2025, Fox renewed Grimsburg, Krapopolis and Universal Basic Guys.²⁶

Animation Domination High-Def

Main article: Animation Domination High-Def

On January 8, 2013, Fox announced that it would launch an adult animation spin-off to its Sunday evening block called Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD).⁵¹ It originally broadcast on Saturday evenings for 90 minutes from 11:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. local time in most markets. It was later reduced to 11:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. on September 7, 2013, with the 12:00 a.m. half-hour being given back to its owned-and-operated stations and affiliates to carry other programming. Some of its affiliates delayed the block by 30 minutes to an hour to run late evening newscasts (sports overruns occasionally caused further delays).

The last edition of ADHD on Fox aired on March 5, 2016, with the new Lonely Island sketch comedy series Party Over Here to premiere in the slot on March 12.
