Rhode Island Read |

 From
the mind of prolific creator Seth MacFarlane comes the irreverent,
controversial, and hilarious satirical Emmy-winning adult animated
series "Family
Guy". Set in the town of Quahog, Rhode Island, the series
features the utterly dysfunctional Griffin family consisting of parents
Peter (MacFarlane) and Lois (Alex Borstein); kids Meg (Mila Kunis),
Chris (Seth Green), and Stewie (MacFarlane); and their anthropomorphic
pet dog Brian (MacFarlane), neighbors Cleveland Brown (Mike Henry), Joe
Swanson (Patrick Warburton), and Glenn Quagmire (MacFarlane). The series
sometimes intentionally courts controversy and has been occasionally
viciously panned by some critics; Family Guy have been sued by
celebrities, and accused of using plotlines from other successful
series. Regardless, Family Guy is an equal opportunity offender,
parodying an overly excessive culture, societal hypocrisy and unresolved
underlying social issues, even poking fun at themselves. They have
skewered politicians mercilessly, big corporations, dogmatic social
ideals and proven to provide insightful satire and parody of American
culture's shortcomings. Initially cancelled by FOX Network at the end of
the 3rd season, but the show fostered a cult following which coupled
with good DVD sales and high ratings in syndication, led to the series
being renewed in 2004. Nevertheless, Family Guy continues to prove
popular, leading to successful straight-to-DVD sales, big syndication
deals, and the spin-off series "The Cleveland Show" in 2007. |
