Although the COVID-19 production shutdowns have cut an ugly swathe through many of the TV productions of 2020, the world of animation has been a notable exception. Already operating in quasi-total isolation, TV animation has managed to truck along pretty comfortably with what appear to have only been minor disruptions. Hence, then, the not wholly surprising news that Fox has just renewed two of its long-running cartoon mainstays for not just one, but two seasons, with both Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers being renewed for a pair of seasons apiece. That’ll bring Family Guy up to season 20, while Bob’s Burgers will now extend into its 13th run.
