Family Guy is an AnimatedSitcom created by Creator/SethMacFarlane about a Dysfunctional Family from Quahog, Rhode Island who...well, that's about it, really. it presents us with four main characters—slow-witted blue-collar jerk Peter Griffin, who is basically a crueler, more imbecilic, and often more cheerful Al Bundy; his smart and efficient (but neglectful and wild) House Wife Lois; insecure teenage Meg; and good-hearted but moronic son Chris—and puts them through a series of adventures usually sparked by Peter's selfishness and/or idiocy. In addition to these somewhat cookie-cutter characters are two additional ones, Brian the martini-sipping intellectual dog and Stewie the laser-toting megalomaniac baby, although they've gotten much more screen time in recent seasons.

Chaotic and somewhat out of the ordinary, the show is notorious for its Cutaway Gags, as well as targeting literally every subject under the sun with a million gags per minute. Depending on who you ask, it's either sloppy, unstructured and tasteless, or unorthodox and acceptably simple entertainment. With later seasons, the randomness increased and character dynamics shifted, with Stewie becoming less of a mad conqueror and more of a showman with homicidal, homosexual, and/or violent tendencies, Meg becoming a ButtMonkey (supposedly due to the fact that the writers felt her too bland a character) and Brian [[SmallNameBigEgo becoming more and more of a pompous loser]]. The animation style became stiffer, and the show as a whole became more mean-spirited. It's drawn flak for this, but its fanbase is as loyal as any other.

The show wasn't cancelled, Mac Farlane and the showrunners aren't going to work on it until a deal with the WGA is met. Fox just greenlit two more seasons, even.

Fox announced the show's cancellation after its second season in 2000 when it was beaten in ratings by shows like ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' on Creator/{{NBC}} and especially Creator/{{ABC}}'s ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'', but the show was given a last-minute reprieve and Fox ordered another 13 episodes. However, its ratings suffered as [[ScrewedByTheNetwork its time slot changed constantly and it competed against the ratings-behemoths]] of ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' on Creator/{{CBS}} and ''Series/{{Friends}}'' on NBC. After the third season in 2002, Fox cancelled the show "for good," but in 2005, the show was resurrected yet again due to popular demand, impressive ratings for its reruns on Creator/AdultSwim, and unusually successful DVD-set sales. On May 14th, 2023, the show was confirmed by creator Seth MacFarlane to have been cancelled again due to the ongoing writer's strike.
