Fox got great returns in reuniting the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in Sunday's episode of the animated comedy "Family Guy."

Ratings for the episode, which also included Meg's exploration of God and Kirk Cameron, drew 8.2 million viewers between the ages of 18 and 49, a key advertising demographic, according to TV Week. That's up more than 14 percent from the week before, and was the highest rated episode of "Family Guy" since November.

It was by far the highest-rated program in Fox's Sunday animation block, beating out "The Simpsons" at 8 p.m. ET with 6.6 million viewers and "American Dad," which followed at 9:30 p.m ET with just 6 million viewers in the demographic.

The episode is said to be the first full cast reunion in more than 15 years when the series finale of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" aired. While there have been movies since the end of the series -- four in all -- only one of them featured Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher, and none included Denise Crosby, who played Tasha Yar in the first season of the series.

While the reuniting took place in the animated sense, it didn't actually happen in reality. The actors voiced their parts mostly at different times, with Patrick Stewart actually voicing his role from London.

"Just given people's schedules and given how animation works, you almost never have people in at the same time," executive producer David Goldman told TV Series Finale. "A few of them were in on the same day, but their schedules were scattered, and so we were amenable to working around their schedules."

One thing that probably didn't sit well with some Star Trek fans were the potshots made about William Shatner, including what many claim is a hairpiece that he wears, and the drowning death of his wife Nerine Kidd in 1999.
