Family Guy
Family Guy is an animated American television sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, following the dysfunctional Griffin family in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island.
The show is known for its crude humor, pop culture references, and frequent cutaway gags—non sequitur flashbacks triggered by phrases like This is worse than that time I... .
First airing in 1999, it was canceled twice before fan demand brought it back.
The title plays on the phrase family guy, meaning a man devoted to domestic life.
