Family Guy

Family Guy is an American animated sitcom created and produced by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. MacFarlane pitched a seven-minute pilot to Fox on May 15, 1998. The show was given the green light and started production.


The series shows the hilarious and unusual life of Peter Griffin, an Irish-American Catholic with a prominent Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts accent and his special and peculiar family. He is married to Lois, a stay-at-home mother and piano teacher who, as member of the Pewterschmidt family of wealthy socialites, has a distinct New England accent, who seems to be the only normal person in the family and which struggle to maintain balance in the family. 


On the other hand we have the three children, Meg, a teenager who along the series always seems to be forgotten and somewhat hated by her family. We also have Chris, a 13 year old overweighted and unintelligent boy, who is lazy by nature. He has scared to death of a monkey hiding in his closet room. And there is still the little Stewie, a baby with only one year but with a diabolical mind, where his aim is to exterminate his mother and world domination. Stewie appears to us as a talking baby but that only Brian seems to understand. Brian is a talking dog who prefers his martinis to his dog food and that often goes on adventures with the little Stewie.


Besides these, there are also the neighbors and friends of the family Glen Quagmire, a sex-crazed who has the dream of going to bed with lois. Next door lives a couple Bonnie and Joe Swanson, where Joe paraplegic police man, that struggles to catch criminals. Across the street lives Loretta and Cleveland Brown, a couple where Cleveland due to being a peaceful man and always consistent with what others say, is always mentally abused by his wife.


Seth MacFarlane voices three of the show's main characters: Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Stewie Griffin. MacFarlane also provides the voices for various other recurring and one-time-only characters, most prominently those of the Griffins' neighbor Glenn Quagmire, news anchor Tom Tucker, and Lois' father, Carter Pewterschmidt. Alex Borstein voices Peter's wife Lois Griffin, Asian correspondent Tricia Takanawa, Loretta Brown, and Lois' mother, Barbara Pewterschmidt.
