More on Family Guy
Description from Wikipedia:
Family Guy is an American animated television sitcom, created by Seth MacFarlane, for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family which consists of Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie, and their pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. The show uses frequent "cutaway gags," jokes in the form of tangential vignettes which lampoon American culture.
The family was conceived by MacFarlane shortly after the show's predecessor Larry shorts was canceled. MacFarlane created a dysfunctional family by changing the design of the protagonist Larry and devolved it into Peter, and also changed the design of Steve, and it developed into Brian. Shortly after the third season aired, the series was canceled. Due to DVD sales and high ratings on syndicated reruns, the network renewed the show. The show takes place in a partially fictional town in Rhode Island, based on MacFarlane's upbringing and education.
Family Guy has been nominated for eleven Primetime Emmy Awards, of which it won three. The show has also been nominated for eleven Annie Awards, and won three times. The show has also been nominated for a Golden Reel Award three times, 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 been challenged with negative criticism, including three notable lawsuits and low reviews for its similarities to the adult-themed animated series The Simpsons.
