 "And I 'm Joyce Kinney" was broadcast on January 16, 2011, as a part of an animated television night on Fox, and was preceded by American Dad!, The Simpsons and the second episode of the animated series Bob's Burgers. It was followed by Family Guy creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane's spin-off, The Cleveland Show. Family Guy was watched by 7.08 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, despite airing simultaneously with Desperate Housewives on ABC, Undercover Boss on CBS and the Golden Globe Awards on NBC. The episode also acquired a 3.7 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic, beating American Dad!, The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers and The Cleveland Show, in addition to significantly edging out all four shows in total viewership. The episode's ratings decreased significantly from the previous week's episode, largely due to the lead-in that had been provided by the NFL Wild Card game that preceded the "Animation Domination" line-up.
