By MARK DUELL and DANIEL PIOTROWSKI FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

Channel Seven has come under fire after broadcasting a Family Guy episode featuring jokes about Robin Williams hours after it was revealed the actor had been found dead. 

Digital channel 7Mate broadcast the ‘Big Man on Hippocampus’ episode at 11pm last night - some 14 hours after news broke that the Good Will Hunting actor had died, Mumbrella reported.

The network copped flak from viewers on social media, with various punters blasting the programming decision as 'insensitive' and 'poor form'. 

Robin Williams: An extraordinary coincidence saw the 'Viewer Mail #2' episode of Family Guy shown on BBC Three between 11.25pm and 11.45pm on Monday - with the death announced by Reuters at 11.56pm
