Family Guy is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The show mainly focuses on the Griffin family, a badly functioning family. The parents are Peter and Lois, and their children are Meg, Chris, and Stewie. The family also has a talking pet dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island. A lot of its humor uses cutaway gags to make fun of American culture.
The family was created by MacFarlane after making two animated movies, The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve. MacFarlane changed the movie's main character, Larry, and his dog, Steve, and renamed them Peter and Brian. MacFarlane showed a seven-minute pilot episode to Fox in December 1998, and the show then began on Fox. Family Guy's cancellation was announced shortly after the third season had aired in 2002, and one unaired episode was shown on Adult Swim in 2003. Good DVD sales and high ratings from reruns meant Fox to restarted the show in 2004. A fourth season began the following year, on May 1, 2005.
Family Guy has been given critical acclaim. In 2009, it was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, the first time an animated series was nominated for the award since The Flintstones in 1961. In 2013, TV Guide said Family Guy was the ninth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time.[2]
On May 11, 2020, Fox let the series have a nineteenth season.[3][4] On September 23, 2020, Fox said that the show would continue for a twenty-first season.[5] The twenty-first season started on September 25, 2022.[6] Currently, 426 episodes of Family Guy have been broadcast.
On January 26, 2023, Fox said that the series would have a season 22 and 23, taking the show through the 2024-25 television season.[7] The 22nd season premiered on 1 October 2023.
