Family Guy is an adult cartoon show created by Seth McFarland. It premiered on the FOX television network in 1999, and was based on previous short films McFarland had produced. It has been cancelled twice and returned to the air each time after the network was convinced that the show had a strong fan following.

The show is often politically incorrect and McFarland's goal is that it never be moralistic, as the preachy South Park can be. However, recent episodes have been heavily left-wing and anti-Christian, causing some dissatisfaction among viewers.

The jokes rely on pop-culture spoof, graphic violence & bathroom humor and general silliness.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Family Guy is an American animated television series created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show uses frequent cutaway gags, often in the form of tangential vignettes which parody American culture.

MacFarlane conceived Family Guy after developing two animated films, The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve. MacFarlane redesigned the films' protagonist Larry and his dog Steve, and renamed them Peter and Brian, respectively. Shortly after the third season of Family Guy aired in 2001, Fox canceled the series. However, favorable DVD sales and high ratings for syndicated reruns convinced the network to renew the show in 2004. The series takes place in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island (pronounced /?ko?h??/), based on MacFarlane's upbringing and education.

Family Guy has been nominated for 11 Primetime Emmy Awards and 11 Annie Awards, and has won three of each. It has garnered three Golden Reel Award nominations, winning once. In 2009, it was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, the first time an animated series was nominated for the award since The Flintstones in 1961. Family Guy has also received negative criticism, including unfavorable comparisons for its similarities to The Simpsons.
