Animation Domination
Animation Domination (also called AniDom, Fox AD, and AD) is an American animated programming block that has aired in two iterations on the Fox broadcast network, featuring a lineup solely made up of prime-time animated sitcoms and adult animation carried as a majority of, or the whole of, the network's Sunday evening schedule (outside of sports pre-emptions and early hour programming burn offs). It originally ran from May 1, 2005, until September 21, 2014, before returning on September 29, 2019.
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).
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. 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.
From the fall of 2014 to the summer of 2017, 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 marked the first time that the network has regularly aired live-action comedies on Sundays (outside of burn-offs of failed weeknight series) since 2005. From fall of 2017 to the summer of 2019, the Sunday night lineup was simply referred to as Fox Sunday Night, also with the addition of live-action comedies.
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.
James Arnold Taylor currently serves as the announcer of the block.
In April 2020, Fox Entertainment announced their partnership with Caffeine to produce the AniDom Beyond Show, a recap show hosted by Andy Richter. 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.
