The Simpsons

 

Network: FOX

Premiers January 4th

The Simpsons are now in post-cross over mode as efforts with Family Guy, LEGO, and Futurama are all in the rear-view mirror. However, that doesn’t mean a bunch of new stuff isn’t on the way, as already we’ve seen a the family visit with Kang & Kodos, and next week sees the premier of ‘Bart’s New Friend’ written by Judd Apatow 25 years ago. Other synopses on the docket include a guest star appearance from Elon Musk, an episode that presents Lisa with a bunch of difficult math jokes, and a new one with Grampa as the star! Last, but not least, we get to see toddler versions of Bart and Lisa which should air some-time this Spring only on FOX.

Family Guy

 

Network: FOX

Premiers January 4th

We just got done with an ‘excellent adventure’, but Family Guy’s got a whole bunch more the rest of the way!  Still to come is a guest spot featuring Liam Neeson whom gets beat up by Peter, and the eponymous 250th episode that will see Stewie become impregnated with Brian’s baby…let that sink in for a moment.

Bob’s Burgers

 

Network: FOX

Premiers January 4th

The new season returned last night with Tina as the hall monitor,  but still to come we get to see the kids join a go-kart league, Louise’s enemy Logan getting a job at the restaurant, and Bob looking to combine efforts with Teddy’s home-made booze.

Star Wars Rebels

 

Network: Disney XD

Premiers January 5th

Tonight, Yoda, but we should see the conclusion of the first season of Star Wars Rebels sooner rather than later due to the fact that season two is getting sneaked in just a few months. Even more interesting will be what kind of stories get told with Episode 7 on the way, and the already rumored animated series set to companion with the future trilogy.

Archer

 

Network: FX

Premiers January 8th

The cast of Archer returns to that of a familiar spy agency setting minus the official ISIS name and judging from the promos FX has been posting, everyone is forgetting about their Vice shit as Cheryl is seen burning all of her country music stuff, Pam is fat again, and Cyril drops the dictator gimmick. However, a bunch of story lines carry over and will certainly be of interest for the new season such as Archer and Lana’s new baby AJ, Krieger’s clones, and the addition of Christian Slater in what looks to be a more permanent role.

The Venture Bros.

Network: Adult Swim

Premiers January 19th

Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer skipped New York Comic Con 2014 so fans and press alike did NOT have the opportunity to really ask about this, but what we do know given from the original press release posted last year is that we see the Ventures head to space for an hour-long deal adventure that sounds like it could have long-term repercussions for the foreseeable future.

 Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special

Network: NBC

Premiers February 15th

You would think that if NBC is going to air a 3-hour special showcasing highlights from memorable sketches in SNL history, that cartoons are going to be a play due to the Robert Smigel-produced ”TV Funhouse” skits of yesteryear. Legendary efforts like The X-Presidents, The Michael Jackson Show, and most famously the Ambiguously Gay Duo which helped launch the careers of Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell. It would be unwise for NBC NOT to recognize at least SOME of this for the special.

  The Jack and Triumph Show

Network: Adult Swim

Premiers: February 20th, 2015

We JUST mentioned Smigel, and we’re going to do it twice because he’s got a new series on the way starring his infamous Triumph the Insult Comic Dog made famous by the Conan show. Joining him is Jack McBrayer (Wander Over Yonder) which should make for a more than formidable tag team for Adult Swim.
