Sunday Funday is the Sunday night block on the Fox network, featuring a mix of animated and live-action series. The block premiered on September 28, 2014.

History

2014/15

Sunday Funday was created to replace the Animation Domination block, acknowledging that an hour of the Sunday night schedule has live-action sitcoms and is no longer fully made up of animated shows. Its final show was American Dad!, which also broadcast its final episode on Fox before moving to TBS on September 21, 2014.[1] The initial lineup incorporated the remaining animated series from Animation Domination, including The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers, plus Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which previously aired on Tuesday nights, and the new sitcom, Mulaney [2] This marks the first time that Fox has regularly aired first-run live-action comedies on Sundays since 2005. Mulaney was cancelled in February 2015 and was replaced by mid-season replacement The Last Man on Earth

2015/16

On January 3, 2016, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was removed from the Sunday Funday block and moved back to its original Tuesday night slot. The Last Man on Earth was temporarily put on hiatus. In their place, the new series Bordertown and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life took their slots.[3] On May 12, 2016, Bordertown and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life were both cancelled after one season.

2016/17

On September 25, 2016, Son of Zorn premiered at 8:30pm. On March 5, 2017, Making History premiered and replaced Son of Zorn. On May 11, 2017, both series have been cancelled after one season.

2017/18
