Fox Sunday Night is the former branding of the Sunday night primetime lineup on theFox network, which featured a mix of animated and live-action series. It ran between stints ofAnimation Domination.
TheSunday Funday block was created to replace Fox'sAnimation Domination block, acknowledging that the Sunday primetime schedule was no longer fully made up of animated shows. The block's final show wasAmerican Dad!, of which was the final episode to air on Fox before moving toTBS on September 21, 2014.[1] The initial lineup incorporated the remaining animated series fromAnimation Domination (The Simpsons,Family Guy, andBob's Burgers) with the addition ofBrooklyn Nine-Nine, which previously aired on Tuesday nights, and the new sitcom,Mulaney.[2] This marked the first time that Fox had regularly aired first-run live-action comedies on Sundays since 2005.Mulaney was cancelled in February 2015 and was replaced by mid-season replacementThe Last Man on Earth.
On January 3, 2016,Brooklyn Nine-Nine was dropped from theSunday Funday block and moved back to its original Tuesday night slot.The Last Man on Earth would then go on hiatus. In their place, new seriesBordertown andCooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life took their slots.[3] Ultimately, both series were cancelled after one season.

On May 10, 2018,The Last Man on Earth was cancelled. The following day,Brooklyn Nine-Nine was picked up byNBC.
