Family Guy

"Family Guy" is an animated television series created by Seth MacFarlane. The show debuted on January 31, 1999, on the Fox network and has since become known for its irreverent humor, satirical commentary, and unique animation style. Seth MacFarlane serves as the creator, writer, and voice actor for several characters in the series.

The main characters of "Family Guy" are the Griffin family: Peter, the well-intentioned but often clueless father; Lois, his patient and sensible wife; Meg, their socially awkward teenage daughter; Chris, their overweight and not-so-bright teenage son; Stewie, the highly intelligent and scheming baby; and Brian, the family's anthropomorphic pet dog with human-like qualities.

"Family Guy" is known for its cutaway gags, non-sequitur humor, and pop culture references. The show often satirizes various aspects of American culture, politics, and entertainment, taking a humorous and sometimes controversial approach to storytelling. The series has gained a dedicated fan base over the years, although it has also faced criticism for its occasionally controversial and offensive content.

Despite being initially canceled after its third season, "Family Guy" was later revived due to strong DVD sales and high ratings in syndication. The show has continued to air new episodes and has become one of the longest-running animated television series in the United States. It has also inspired spin-off series, such as "The Cleveland Show" and "American Dad!"
