===Adult animation=== {{Update|section|date=December 2024}} {{Main|Animation Domination|Animation on Fox|Animation Domination High-Def}} Except for ''[[The Critic]]'', ''[[The PJs]]'' and ''[[Futurama]]'', which were respectively cancelled in 1995, 2000 and 2003, typically every Sunday night during prime time (unless preempted, usually by sports telecasts), Fox airs a lineup incorporating original adult animation sitcoms, all being produced (or co-produced with Fox for post-2019 works) by the network's original sister company, 20th Television, which is currently a subsidiary of [[Walt Disney Television]]. This block of adult cartoons became a staple of the network airing under the brand ''[[Animation Domination]]'' from May 1, 2005, to September 14, 2014, when the network rebranded the block as ''Sunday Funday'' as a result of the re-incorporation of live-action comedy series on the Sunday night lineup after ten years<ref>{{cite web|title=Why Sunday Funday Will Probably Be Animation Domination Again By Next Year|url=https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Why-Sunday-Funday-Probably-Animation-Domination-Again-By-Next-Year-67537.html|first=Jesse|last=Carp|website=[[CinemaBlend]]|date=September 26, 2014|access-date=June 27, 2015}}</ref> (aside from occasional burn-offs of series aired on other nights during the 7:00 pm. Eastern/Pacific hour), although animated series remain an integral part of that night's schedule. The first programs to air as part of the ''Animation Domination'' lineup were ''[[American Dad!]]'' (which also had its beginnings in the lineup, and moved to [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] in October 2014<ref>{{cite news|title=Fox to air Seth MacFarlane's "Bordertown" animated series next year|url=http://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/TV/2013/11/09/Seth-MacFarlanes-Bordertown-picked-up-by-Fox/UPI-96291384015624/?spt=rln&or=1|work=[[United Press International]]|date=November 13, 2012|access-date=November 10, 2013}}</ref><ref name=TBSrevival>{{cite news|title=Seth MacFarlane's 'American Dad' picked up by TBS|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/american-dad-picked-tbs-article-1.1400187|first=David|last=Hinckley|newspaper=[[Daily News (New York)|New York Daily News]]|date=July 18, 2013|access-date=July 21, 2013}}</ref><ref name="zap2it1">{{cite web|title=Comic-Con 2013: 'American Dad' Season 10 guest stars include Zooey Deschanel, Alison Brie and Mariah Carey|url=http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/07/comic-con-2013-american-dad-season-10-guest-stars-include-zooey-deschanel-alison-brie-and-mariah-car.html|first=Mike|last=Rougeau|website=[[Zap2It]]|date=July 20, 2013|access-date=August 17, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130822112804/http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/07/comic-con-2013-american-dad-season-10-guest-stars-include-zooey-deschanel-alison-brie-and-mariah-car.html|archive-date=August 22, 2013}}</ref>), ''[[Family Guy]]'' (which returned to the network after a three-year cancellation when ''Animation Domination'' began), ''[[The Simpsons]]'' (the longest-running cartoon on Fox, predating the lineup by 16 years), and ''[[King of the Hill]]'' (which also predated the lineup by eight years). Once ''King of the Hill'' was cancelled, ''Family Guy''{{'}}s spinoff ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' would air from 2009 to 2013 and [[Loren Bouchard]]'s next series, ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'' would air starting in 2011. Animated shows currently airing as part of the lineup include ''The Simpsons'', ''Family Guy'', ''Bob's Burgers'', ''[[Duncanville (TV series)|Duncanville]]'', ''[[The Great North]]'' and ''[[Housebroken (TV series)|Housebroken]]''. Other shows in the lineup include ''[[Sit Down, Shut Up (2009 TV series)|Sit Down, Shut Up]]'', ''[[Allen Gregory]]'', ''[[Napoleon Dynamite (TV series)|Napoleon Dynamite]]'', ''[[Bordertown (American TV series)|Bordertown]]'', ''[[Bless the Harts]]'', and the live-action/animated hybrid ''[[Son of Zorn]]''. An extension of the Sunday prime-time block called "[[Animation Domination High-Def]]" launched on Saturday late nights in July 2013 (marking the return of first-run programming in that time period since the 2010 cancellation of ''[[The Wanda Sykes Show]]''), with ''ADHD Shorts'', ''[[Axe Cop (TV series)|Axe Cop]]'' and ''[[High School USA!]]''. Due to low ratings, Fox announced on April 17, 2014, that it would discontinue "Animation Domination High-Def"; although the block was slated to end on June 28, 2014,<ref name="thr-primetimeadhd">{{cite web|title=Fox Plans Animation Domination HD for Primetime in 2015, Nixes Late Night|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/fox-plans-animation-domination-hd-697392|first=Michael|last=O'Connell|periodical=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=April 17, 2014|access-date=June 30, 2014}}</ref><ref name="bandc-scrapped">{{cite web|title=Exclusive: Fox Scrapping Animation Domination HD Saturday Block|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/programming/exclusive-fox-scrapping-animation-domination-hd-saturday-block/130545|first=Michael|last=Malone|periodical=Broadcasting & Cable|date=April 17, 2014|access-date=June 30, 2014}}</ref> it continued to air in encore form until the start of the 2016β17 season, when the hour returned to airing encores of comedies or reality series.
