Greatest show ever.

They were cancelled by FOX because of the episode where Peter "needs a Jew". The Jewish community got pissed and filed a lawsuit or something. Then the DVD sales were SOO fantastic, they were like screw you. We want money. So the show started up again.

God bless DVDs.
Family Guy!

Brian: You ever stop and think "Wow, I'm married to that guy"?
Lois: Yeah, but I usually just suppress it.
Brian: Is that healthy?
Lois: What's the worst that could happen?
Peter: inside Lois' head I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor. I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, oh-oh, I'm a tumor!

An amazingly hilarious show. Best cartoon on earth. The characters are:

Peter Griffin- the main character, very very fat. Very very dumb. Very very random

Lois Griffin - peters wife. The logical one. Tends to get crazy once in a while and cut loose. Comes from a rich family, who dont approve of her marraige to peter, who is completely rude and ill manered.

Brian- their talking dog. Likes to be treated like a human. Sometimes his dogish quirks come out. Always has a martini on hand. Has the hotts for lois. Hates stewey but always gets roped into looking after him.

Stewey- the extremely smart baby of the family. Somehow turned out british. Has a secret plan to dominate the world. Tags along with brian all the time.

Meg- the eldest daughter. Hated by all. usually find humor in her depression and how suicidal she is. Extremely ugly. If the family had to lose one child, it would be her.

This show had its first season on Fox but was cancelled due to its dirty, crude humor. Millions of people were crushed. Other stations started playing the show, and fox lost many many viewers to those stations, after a while they realized their mistake and took the show back for a 3rd season in '05. This show is completely random, and the weirdest things always happen. A lot of times they make fun of political issues. Or other tv shows. You think one thing is going to be the plot for the first 15 minutes, but then it makes a drastic turn from there.
In one episode of Family Guy Peter became convinced that Jewish people were much more advanced, much smarter, and much better with money than non-jews. so he sang a song about needing a jew and voila a jewish accountant showed up at his door the next morning. then, he asked lois if he could give chris a bat mitzvah so he could be jewish because he thought that all jewish people were rich just because they were jewish. So, when lois said no he drove across the country to las vegas to get a quicky bat mitzvah. nice eh?

an example of the randomness:

on the side of an episode they could also be following a battle between snap krackle and pop and the keibler elves, which they did in one.

Family Guy is a vastly popular animated comedy that originally aired on FOX. Notably, it's entire fan-base consists of pretentious 12 to 15-year-old children with no taste or sense of humor.
Family Guy was created by Seth MacFarlane, who is very self-congratulatory and egotistical about the success of his show. However, it's a mostly undeserving success, as the show contains nothing but mediocre animation, and ugly art style, bland and tasteless humor, prejudiced political and racial opinions, and empty, soulless characters. The only thing this show deserves an award for is coming up with a genius marketing scheme by targeting an audience of confused, socially-inept teenagers.
The characters of Family Guy, as well as the show itself, have bloated in popularity over the years that it's been on television. Mr. MacFarlane is commonly praised for his genius writing and character development, however, if you have the intelligence to look a little deeper, you'll realize the characters are all extremely inconsistent in personality, and are simply rehashed personalities filling an otherwise empty shell.
As of now, the show is scraping at the bottom of the barrel, airing on failures of networks such as "Adult Swim", struggling to stay afloat in a sea of superior television shows. Every few months, Seth will release another unfunny, boring episode that's immediately loved unconditionally by it's pathetically unintelligent fan-base.
Jared: "Hey, man, did you see that new episode of Family Guy?"

Alex: "Yes. It was terrible and unfunny, same as always."

Jared: "NO, IT WAS FUNNY AND YOU ARE A FAGGOT FOR NOT LIKING IT!"

Alex: "Get out of my house."

A genuinly funny show in its early years. Still funny, but as it has grown in popularity, its quality as steadily declined, just like other shows (The Simpsons, Roseanne)
My problem is, FOX is cancelling the real greatest show of all time, King Of The Hill, to make room for a spinoff for Family Guy.

"Hey, what's your favorite Family Guy quotes????"

"Oh, they are:"

- - Stewie: Did you hear that Meg? Guys can marry other guys now. So...this is awkward, but I mean, if they can do that, that is pretty much it for you, isn't it? I mean you as well pack it in. Game over. - -

- - Peter (narrating his life): "I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. I looked with a grimace at the questionable meal Lois had placed in front of me. Of course I'd never tell her how disgusted I was with her cooking, but somehow I think she knew. Lois had always been full of energy and life, but lately I had begun to grow more aware of her aging. The bright, exuberant eyes that I had fallen in love with were now beginning to grow dull and listless with the long fatigue of a weary life. (Lois knocks Peter out.)
I woke several hours later in a daze." - -
