Family Guy is, without a doubt, one of the funniest shows ever to grace the small screen. The show itself is an animated masterpiece that doesn't often rely on the old gimmicks of situation comedy. It is as irreverent to as many subjects as possible. Another element that truly aids in the show's hilarity are the many obscure references to movies like Tron and show's like "The Facts of Life."
The ensemble cast is stellar and all are perfect for the characters they are voicing. The creator, Seth Macfarlaine, does many of the character voices including Stewie, the tyrannical baby with plans for world dominion; Brian, the sarcastic and alcoholic family dog; and the family guy himself, Peter Griffin, who gets into more trouble than any man should. Alex Borstein does a fine job voicing the family mother, Lois Griffin. She also voices many of the female stock characters such as news anchor Diane Simmons, Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa, as well as many others. Seth Green's rendition of Chris Griffin, son of Peter and Lois, is hilarious and perfectly suited to him. Mila Kunis did the voice of ultra-reject daughter and sister, Meg Griffin.
The show also featured a fabulous group of guest stars which includes Adam West, all of Kiss, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Bob Barker, Candice Bergen, Ed McMahon, Kelly Ripa, and Wallace Shawn.
Overall, the show was a comic masterpiece and was cancelled far too soon.
