No, they aren't.

Actually, those three words were going to be my entire post, but my bosses insists my posts be longer than that, so I'll explain why I brought the question up in the first place. Newsarama reports that reruns of the series, about a family who have been mutated by industrial waste from the rich folk who live in the hills above them, has actually been doing quite well in the ratings. The series began on the WB and was later "rescued" by Adult Swim (much like Mission Hill, Baby Blues and Home Movies) which aired reruns of the show starting in 2002. Adult Swim took the show off the schedule but recently brought it back (it's also on TBS). As it turns out, ratings suggest that the teenagers love it, and some speculate it may be because they just didn't have a taste for such a show when they were younger. Does this mean the show might pull a Family Guy and go back into production? Well, that would be nice, but right now that's merely a pipe dream for us fans. Also, and no offense to teenagers, as I used to be one from the ages of 13 to 24, but they tend to be a fickle bunch, and just because they happen to dig the show now doesn't mean they won't lose interest in it, either. Ultimately, I don't see the show coming back, but hey, if the youngins are into this show, I say more power to them.

Thanks to Alex for the tip.

This time around we're giving a shout out to our favorite two-headed television personalities. Here's some of mine:

Biff and Chip Oblong (The Oblongs): I didn't hate The Oblongs when it aired on Adult Swim, but I didn't think it was that great, either. Lately I've been catching reruns of the series on TBS and now I really like it. Crazy how your mind works sometimes. The show is based on the book Creepy Susie by Angus Oblong, which is hilarious and worth checking out. Biff and Chip were the eldest son/sons of Bob and Pickles Oblong, and a constant source of torment for their brother Milo. They were voiced by twin comedians Randy and Jason Sklar. Jonathan has a nice synopsis of the show here.
