Series Details & Credits

FOX | Release Date: January 31, 1999

Summary: Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and freakin' sweet. The animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and world domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense.

Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and world domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense. Meg desperately tries to be part of the popular crowd, and is coldly rebuffed. Their talking dog Brian keeps baby Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting out his own life issues. After being canceled in 2002, having an outstanding performance in DVD sales and syndication ratings that beat late-night talk shows, its cult status reached great heights. As a result, the series was added back to the FOX Summer 2005 line-up. Family Guy returned to the small screen with new episodes on Sunday, May 1st, 2005. A DVD Movie was released in September of 2005. Family Guy has won 3 Emmy awards and 3 Annie awards. … Expand

Season 9 Review: Between [Peter Griffin's] hiring of a "penis butler," his purchase of a solid-gold tuxedo at the "nonsense store," and his riff on the "dreadfulness" of True Blood, it's easy to forgive the plot for being as old as the hills. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's all raucous nonsense, but the debate will rage as to whether "Family Guy" contributes to, or merely reflects, the demise of civility. As with most TV fare, it's doing a little of both, and it's doing it with a sharp eye for detail. [9 Apr 1999]

Season 1 Review: The show is fast-paced, and it's often genuinely funny. Dastardly Stewie is a break-out character if ever one was drawn. But "Family Guy" isn't a bolt from the blue. The crude edge that separates it from, say, "The Simpsons" only drives it deep into "South Park" territory. [12 Apr 1999]

Season 4 Review: "Family Guy" begins its new life with a slightly more assured mix of satire and non sequiturs while still displaying the kind of hit-miss joke ratio that doesn't quite belong in the major leagues. [28 Apr 2005]

Season 1 Review: Utterly excremental. ... May the room in which "Family Guy" is drawn be sacked, emptied, disinfected and burned to a cinder. Anything to keep them from making any more episodes of this smug and amateurish tripe. [30 Jan 1999]

The series at its beginning had many fictitious jokes that were funny but with the passing of time it became somewhat offensive today but no matter what the producers strive to maintain that my final conclusion is 10

I just love this family! But in recent seasons, they have started to lose ground.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is show is very underrated in my opinion. The episodes in my opinion are more memorable than as an example the Simpsons. the music goes for this jazzy feel and i love it that way and is often filled with variety in the music too. The characters are also very memorable and filled with variety in. the jokes are kind of losing its love but i still kind of like it. jokes like making fun of meg or character often getting hurt often becomes unfunny but some jokes are really well made in this sitcom. another thing that i do like is when there is permanent change, as an example when Jerome takes over as the owner of the Drunken Clam after an incident in a baseball game. overall i like this show a lot and it definitely deserves more than it is given.… Expand

There are so many memes from family guy. Humor is good and the art style too. One negative thing about this series is about family guy is that its humor can be very cruel and crude.
