Family Guy grabs its highest rating in 4 years (US)
 

'Sunday night had two much-anticipated premieres with major brand cross-over elements and both stunts paid off big time: There was Fox’s Family Guy crossing over with longtime animated frenemy The Simpsons in a one-hour episode at 9 p.m., and the fourth season return of Once Upon a Time introducing its arc based on the Disney hit Frozen at 8 p.m.

Both shows jumped in the ratings compared to last fall, with Fox’s animated series coming out on top: Family Guy (8.4 million, 4.5 rating among adults 18-49) bounced a whopping 73 percent from last season’s premiere and ranked as the night’s No. 1 entertainment program. This is Family Guy‘s biggest rating in four years (here’s our take on the crossover). While Once Upon (9.3 million, 3.4) spiked an impressive 31 percent from last fall to mark its best ratings in nearly two years.'

Given how The Simpsons/Family Guy and American Dad have been performing for the past two or so years, this is a very positive sign. 'Chap Stewie', which was the final episode of Season 12, got 3.88 million.

The power of The Simpsons

Both tbh, the idea of the crossover clearly got people talking.. Like Family Guy, The Simpsons ratings have been pretty dire. Seems like this episode was needed to spark some interest in them again.
