Summary: Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and freakin' sweet. The animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and world domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense.

Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and world domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense. Meg desperately tries to be part of the popular crowd, and is coldly rebuffed. Their talking dog Brian keeps baby Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting out his own life issues. After being canceled in 2002, having an outstanding performance in DVD sales and syndication ratings that beat late-night talk shows, its cult status reached great heights. As a result, the series was added back to the FOX Summer 2005 line-up. Family Guy returned to the small screen with new episodes on Sunday, May 1st, 2005. A DVD Movie was released in September of 2005. Family Guy has won 3 Emmy awards and 3 Annie awards. … Expand

Season 9 Review: Between [Peter Griffin's] hiring of a "penis butler," his purchase of a solid-gold tuxedo at the "nonsense store," and his riff on the "dreadfulness" of True Blood, it's easy to forgive the plot for being as old as the hills. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's all raucous nonsense, but the debate will rage as to whether "Family Guy" contributes to, or merely reflects, the demise of civility. As with most TV fare, it's doing a little of both, and it's doing it with a sharp eye for detail. [9 Apr 1999]

Season 1 Review: The show is fast-paced, and it's often genuinely funny. Dastardly Stewie is a break-out character if ever one was drawn. But "Family Guy" isn't a bolt from the blue. The crude edge that separates it from, say, "The Simpsons" only drives it deep into "South Park" territory. [12 Apr 1999]

Season 4 Review: "Family Guy" begins its new life with a slightly more assured mix of satire and non sequiturs while still displaying the kind of hit-miss joke ratio that doesn't quite belong in the major leagues. [28 Apr 2005]

Season 1 Review: Utterly excremental. ... May the room in which "Family Guy" is drawn be sacked, emptied, disinfected and burned to a cinder. Anything to keep them from making any more episodes of this smug and amateurish tripe. [30 Jan 1999]

The series at its beginning had many fictitious jokes that were funny but with the passing of time it became somewhat offensive today but no matter what the producers strive to maintain that my final conclusion is 10

I just love this family! But in recent seasons, they have started to lose ground.

Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

Found this to be a fairly funny season. It's nice to see that they're still able to come up with at some different storylines after seventeen years. (I especially liked the decluttering episode.) There are also some nice tributes to late voice cast members Adam West and Carrie FIsher.Found this to be a fairly funny season.

There are also some nice tributes to late voice cast members Adam West and Carrie FIsher.

Unfortunately, this season continues the show's continuing habit of making Brian more and more unbearable to the point where it's just uber lazy writing. And, he's in this a LOT. The two-part where he got married was just sad and completely unnecessary. Of course, the show also keeps up it's long tradition of the occasional joke that goes too far. A part where Meg gets assaulted by President Trump and no one in the family believes her is particularly in poor taste.… Expand
