The ratings for Family Guy were down last season but the show was still too profitable to worry about being cancelled. How will the cartoon series do this time around -- will the ratings go up or down? We'll have to wait and see.
The current season of Family Guy typically airs Sunday nights on the Fox network. Once again, the animated sitcom's cast includes Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mike Henry, Mila Kunis, and Seth Green.
Below are the TV show's ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Family Guy is going to be cancelled or renewed for future seasons (it's already been renewed through 2013-14).

'Getting On' Us HBO remake is fantastic, says Joanna Scanlan
6 March 2013 7:01 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Getting On writer and star Joanna Scanlan has told Digital Spy that she has seen the pilot episode of the HBO remake of her medical sitcom, and has described the Us version as fantastic.
HBO's remake of the BBC comedy stars Family Guy's Alex Borstein, Laurie Metcalf and Niecy Nash taking on the roles made popular in the UK version by Jo Brand, Vicki Pepperdine and Scanlan.
Speaking about the HBO pilot, Scanlan said: "We have had some input. In fact we've actually seen an edit of it recently, which I thought was fantastic.
"It's really, really well done and I like it very much and we really hope HBO pick it up [for a series]. It's very truthful to the original spirit of the show, yet they've been able to make it their own.
"Alex Borstein from Family Guy has my role, she's very funny in it.

Joanna Scanlan talks Heading Out, Thick of It, Getting On - interview
5 March 2013 11:01 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Whether she's playing the lovable Den in Getting On, the brilliant Terri Coverley in The Thick of It or taking a lead role as hopelessly incompetent lifestyle coach Toria in Sue Perkins's new sitcom Heading Out, Joanna Scanlan has proved herself to be one of the UK's most bankable comedy actresses.
Digital Spy caught up with Scanlan to chat about Heading Out, the future of Getting On and bullying Dot Cotton.
Was Heading Out as much fun to make as it looks?
"It was really good fun to make. It's got a lovely script that is lovable and quirky and Sue is a fantastic person to be around. She's hugely entertaining and she's got together a cast of thoroughly lovely people. Sue is like a machine with jokes, she just fires them out one after another and she's a delight to be around.
"She has a lot of integrity »
"Shameless" 3.06 Recap: Gay Robots
25 February 2013 8:47 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Somehow, against considerable odds - including a Gay Men's Chorus, copious musical numbers and Barbra Effing Streisand - last night's Shameless actually managed to out-gay the Oscars.
Here's how!
We start with Brittany from Social Services packing the Gallagher kids into a minivan like Chicago's most dangerous tee-ball team. She's apparently managed to place wee Liam and Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) in a foster home together, while Debs (Emma Kenney) will be on her own at another home and Lip (Jeremy Allen White) and Ian (Cameron Monaghan) will be housed in some sort of juvie prison camp. This has Lord of the Flies written all over it, and I don't like it. As they depart, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) asks Brittany who reported them but she's not talking. Fiona assures the kids that they'll be home before long, reminding them that last time it was only for nine days.
This is very sad. »
