When Family Guy first began in 1999, it had 12.8 million viewers according to the Nielsen ratings. 17 years later, figures have gradually dropped to about 3.5 million viewers, so for some reason, they’ve decided that now is the best time to make a movie out of the animated series. As Digital Spy have reported, the whole cast will be back to reprise their roles.
