Storyline

Sick, twisted and politically incorrect, the animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Endearingly ignorant Peter and his stay-at-home wife Lois reside in Quahog, R.I., and have three kids. Meg, the eldest child, is a social outcast, and teenage Chris is awkward and clueless when it comes to the opposite sex. The youngest, Stewie, is a genius baby bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. The talking dog, Brian, keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

Goofs

When shown a quick view of Cleveland's House it is one and a half story Cape Cod house, like Peter's House. But, whenever Peter does one of his "Shenanigans' near Cleveland's house, it is a full two story, non-Cape Cod home.

Crazy Credits

Every few seasons, the instrumental version of the title theme that plays over the end credits is replaced with a new arrangement. To date there have been 5 main arrangements of the closing credits theme (this, of course, does not include "one-shot" versions that are relative to a specific episode.)

---

Alternate Versions

Versions of the show that air in syndication often have their commercial breaks in different places than the original network airings. This results in some rather jarring transitions that were not present in the original broadcasts, and commercials in strangely inappropriate places. One good example of this is that Peter introduced the cutaway about a secret place for his porn, then it went commercial, and the cutaway did not play until after the commercial break!

User Reviews

FOX always cancels the best shows...jerks

When this show came on..I had never seen such offensive animated material on basic cable..I think it does a better job in the offensive apartment then South Park did because South Park focused more on gross out humor and it's social attacks were more annoying than funny. Family Guy had me on the ground laughing..it was so morally corrupt..the use of flashback scenes were always funny. My favorite scene was when Peter as a teenager is pointing and laughing at a guy at his mother's funeral going "haha he misses his mommy he misses his mommy" in sing song..so cruel and funny. I am so angry that FOX jerked this show around. It kept going off and on off and on..never on a full season run..and even now I don't know if the show is cancelled cos they waited a whole full year without reruns before season 3 aired back around October..for a short period of time even though season 3 wasnt as funny..the humor toned down..it was still worthy to watch and keep on..and FOX has a real bad problem with shoving out too many crap shows and replacing the good ones..they need to cool it. Anyway a box set is out..I guess thats all I have to live on to enjoy this classic comedy
