Synopsis:
Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth
MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the
Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children
Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The
show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits
much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon
American culture.
The family was conceived by MacFarlane 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. MacFarlane pitched a seven-minute pilot
to Fox on May 15, 1998. The show was given the green light and started
production. Shortly after the third season of Family Guy had aired in
2001, Fox cancelled the series, putting the series to a 2-year hiatus.
However, favorable DVD sales and high ratings for syndicated reruns on
Adult Swim convinced the network to renew the show in 2004 for a 4th
season, which began airing on May 1, 2005.
