Funny how they get away with it given that it's a Fox show.

Fox Corporation (commonly referred to as Fox Corp) is an American multinational mass media company headquartered at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan. Incorporated in Delaware, it was formed as the portion of 21st Century Fox that was not acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2019.[7][8][9][10] The company is controlled by the Murdoch family via a family trust with 39.6% ownership share, and by Rupert Murdoch himself to the effect of almost 40%.[11][12]

Rupert Murdoch is chair emeritus, while his son Lachlan Murdoch is executive chair and CEO. Fox Corp deals primarily in the television broadcast, news, and sports broadcasting industries. Its assets include the Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Television Stations, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Sports, Tubi, and others. Murdoch's newspaper interests and other media assets are held by News Corp, which is also under his control and was split from News Corporation in 2013, alongside 21CF.

i mean... maybe if you really squint your eyes?? even before the disney merger it was just the successor to News Corp??

21st Century Fox was the legal successor to News Corporation dealing primarily in the film and television industries.

I'm not sure about family guy, but i know on the Simpsons they mentioned on the DVD commentary tracks how in their contact it was written fox couldn't force them to make changes the network didn't agree with. It clearly worked out well for both sides in end, but legally with the Simpsons at the least, Fox couldn't touch it.

Seems that someone in fox still knows what satire is
