Family Guy's second season aired 21 episodes from September 21, 1999 to August 1, 2000. The entire season is included within the Volume One DVD box set, which was released on April 15, 2003.

Production

After only two episodes of the second season, Family Guy was taken off the network's permanent schedule and shown irregularly thereafter. The show returned in March 2000 to finish airing the second season which contained 21 episodes. The third season contained 21 episodes and began airing from July 11, 2001 to February 14, 2002. During its second and third-season runs, Fox frequently moved the show around different days and time slots with little or no notice and consequently, the show's ratings suffered. When Family Guy was shown in the UK, and when the DVDs were subsequently released there (November 12, 2001), the seven episodes of the second season that were produced for season one were included with the first season, balancing them out with 14 episodes each. This resulted in later DVD releases to be labeled inconsistently as compared with original American season (e.g. the Family Guy: Season 6 DVD features Season 5 episodes).^[1]

Fox publicly announced that the show had been canceled at the end of the second season in 2002.^[2] In spite of the announced cancellation, in 2003 Fox decided to make the third season.^[3] Family Guy also had to deal with a very tough time slot (Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET), competing with Survivor and Friends. The situation was later referenced in the show in an episode titled Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.^[4]^[5] During the third season, Fox announced that the show was canceled for good.^[6]^[7]

Reception

Overall, Family Guy's second season was well-received among critics. Aaron Beierle of DVD Talk said "Often brilliant, extremely witty and darkly hilarious, Family Guy was unfortunately canceled after Fox bumped it around six or seven different time slots. Fans of the show should definitely pick up this terrific sets, while those who haven't seen it should consider giving it a look."^[8]

Fewer critics responded negatively to the season. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly has frequently panned the show, grading it with a "D",^[9] and naming it the worst show of the 1999-2000 television season.^[10] Tucker responded to a reader's question in 2005 that he continued to dislike the series.^[11] Mark Graham noted "MacFarlane's incredibly rocky relationship with both the magazine and its lead television critic, Ken Tucker" in a blog on the New York magazine website.^[12] Tucker has also criticized the show for perceived anti-Semitism.^[10] L. Brent Bozell III expressed in a column of his written in 1999 that he felt that the episode "Holy Crap" promoted anti-Catholicism.^[13]

The Parents Television Council, a watchdog and frequent critic of Family Guy had initially speculated that Family Guy would be "pushing the envelope" before the series' 1999 premiere.^[14] In May 2000, in its weekly "E-Alert" email newsletter, the PTC launched a letter-writing campaign to the Fox network to persuade the network to cancel Family Guy following a return from a long hiatus in the show's second season, due to what the PTC claimed were "strong advertiser resistance and low ratings".^[15] In addition, Family Guy made the PTC's 2000 "worst prime-time shows for family viewing".^[16]
