FOX To Premiere Second Episode Of “The Great North” Early ; New “Family Guy” Also

FOX isn’t waiting to get you initiated in the world of The Great North. After debuting a sneak peek episode a couple of weeks ago, the network is doing the same thing on January 17th starting at 10 pm ET/PT, so check your local listings.

FOX will debut a new episode of The Great North @ 10 pm ET/PT entitled “Feast Of Not People Adventure” that will see Judy who is worried that she and Ham are growing apart when she discovers he’s been keeping a secret from her; the rest of the family participates in a town festival. At 1030 pm ET/PT, a new episode of Family Guy will premiere entitled “Fecal Matters”, in it,when Peter makes it through a bad flu season without getting sick, the hospital asks him to volunteer as a nurse, but he finds himself at a crossroads when his mortal enemy, The Giant Chicken, is admitted; Brian has an identity crisis.

Our Take

I love this idea from FOX to sneak in some new episodes of Animation Domination. I like it even more due to the fact that the network appears to be testing the 10 pm ET hour as a potential hold for new Animation Domination premieres down the road which would just tickle me pink. Expect reviews and previews this weekend
