Animation Domination

Animation Domination is a programming and promotional brand associated with the U.S. Fox television network. It groups, schedules, and markets animated programs, particularly animated comedies aimed at adult audiences. The brand was introduced as part of Fox's Sunday-night programming and built on the network's long-running association with animated television. It is better understood as a programming block and brand identity than as a single television series. Its associated lineup has changed over time as shows have premiered, moved, or ended, and has included well-known Fox animated programs such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad!.

Animation Domination was created as a Fox television programming brand for grouping and promoting animated comedies in a recognizable schedule. It launched in 2005 and initially developed around Fox's established Sunday-night animation tradition. Fox had already built a strong position in U.S. television animation through programs such as The Simpsons; Animation Domination packaged that programming strength under a common identity. The brand became associated with programs including Family Guy and American Dad!, and served as an important label for Fox's adult-oriented animated lineup. Its specific programming has changed as series have premiered, ended, or shifted schedules. The brand is therefore best understood as an evolving programming and promotional platform rather than as a standalone company or a single entertainment property.
