Family Guy

Family Guy -- It's Like the Simpsons if they lived too close too the Nuclear Power Plant







I'm glad I'm over 18 because I can watch great stuff like the Family Guy. I can't exactly watch it with the family because it's like the Simpsons for adults.
Peter and Lois, the parents, and their kids try to live a normal life but then Peter pokes the bear while he's sleeping. Peter would not only poke the bear but he would pour honey all over himself so the bear would be angry and have a snack waiting for him.

Family Guy was cancelled in 2000 and again in 2002 but strong DVD sales and a big viewing of the reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim convinced Fox to resume the show in 2005. It is the first cancelled show to be resrurrected based on DVD sales. Peter Griffin is the main character. He is not-so-smart but well-meaning blue collar worker father. He is an Irish American Catholic with a thick Rhode Island/Eastern Massachusetts accent. His wife Lois has a similar accent. She is a stay-at-home mother and piano teacher. She comes from a rich family.

Peter and Lois have three children. They have a teenage daughter named Meg. She is frequently the target of ridicule because she is homely and not popular. They have a teenage son named Chris. He is overweight, stupid, and basically like his father. They have an infant son named Stewie. He is adult-like in his actions and speaking. He always speaks in an upper-class English accent. He always uses phrases that mad scientists and villains would use including "Victory will be mine." He says many funny, adult-like things like "Hey, baby."

Once Stewie is on a plain and the stewardess asks if he wants a hot towel. He says yes and pulls down his pants and presents his butt for the stewardess to put the towel on.

Other characters on Family Guy include Glenn Quagmire, a mild-mannered deli owner who people should always keep at a safe distance because he is hornier than well someone who is very horny.

Two other characters is Joe Swanson, a paraplegic police officer and his perpetually pregnant wife Bonnie.

There is an old man named Herbert who is a creepy old gay pedophile. One time when Chris doesn't deliver Herbert's newspaper Herbert comes to his home to confront him. Herbert starts out politely stating that he didn't get his newspaper but end up getting into a frustrated tyrade basically insulting Chris for "ignoring" Herbert.

There are two TV news anchors Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons who show up regularly. They tell a bit of the news and include some polite banter but soon they are inserting made up news and indirectly insulting each other. Sometimes they fight physically.

There is a field news reporter who is Asian. Her name is Tricia Takanawa. She is often sent to "suicide mission" news events. Adam west provides the voice of another character, Mayor Adam West. He is a care-about-nothing type character.

There is a meteorologist named Ollie Williams. He does the Blaccu-Weather forecast

Family Guy Words and Phrases

The show has coined several words and phrases for humorous effect. Some words have only been used in one episode (such as "hic-a-doo-lah" in "Fore Father" and "festisio" in "The Thin White Line"), while a few have been used in several episodes. Quagmire's exclamation has been used in many episodes. A single "giggity" followed by "awwwright..." was the number 3 ring tone for the week ending February 7, 2007. Seth MacFarlane does the voices for Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, and Tom Tucker.

Alex Borstein does the voices for Lois Griffin, Loretta Brown (until the character was retired in season four), and Trisha Takanawa.

Seth Green does the voice of Chris Griffin.

Mila Kunis does the voice of Meg Griffin.

The main cast of Family Guy does voices for other recurring characters and they impersonate celebrities and pop-culture icons from time to time.

Crossovers with American Dad

The show has periodically featured the inclusion of certain elements from American Dad!, another animated comedy series created and produced by Seth MacFarlane. These cameos seem to imply that the two shows share the same fictitious universe.



Appearances include:
"Meet the Quagmires" – Roger, the alien who lives with the Smiths, makes a last-minute cameo in this episode, asking the Griffins, "Who ate all the Pecan Sandies?" His line is a reference to a line he said early in the American Dad! pilot episode, asking Francine if she bought Pecan Sandies while she was out shopping. He was voiced by Seth MacFarlane, who also voices him in American Dad!."Blue Harvest" – Roger can be spotted conversing with one of the alien bar patrons while holding a glass of wine during the cantina scene."Lois Kills Stewie" – CIA agent Stan Smith, the main character of American Dad!, as well as his supervisor Avery Bullock and the CIA Headquarters, are featured in this episode. Though the story is non-canon, these elements play a more prominent role in this episode, thus making it more of an actual crossover. Stan and Bullock were voiced by their usual American Dad! voice actors, Seth MacFarlane and Patrick Stewart, respectively.During the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, official production of the show was halted for most of December of 2007 and various periods afterwards. Fox continued producing episodes without creator Seth MacFarlane's final approval which he termed as "a colossal dick move," in an interview with Variety. Though MacFarlane refused to work on the show, his contract under Fox required him to contribute to any episodes it would subsequently produce. Production officially resumed after the end of the strike, with episodes airing regularly from February 17, 2008, onward.
