Family Guy

An animated TV show with 19 seasons running on Fox. It follows the semi-functional Griffin family through their semi-functional lives. The members of this family are Peter (the father working at the local brewery), Lois (the apparently stay-at-home momundefined), Meg (the family's embodiment of a Punching Bag in every sense of the words), Chris, (the half-competent teenage son), Stewie (the genius baby), and Brian (the rational family dog who is a person too). The show premiered in 1999 on January 31st with season one's "Death Has a Shadow". The show is often called a rip-off of The Simpsons, an American animated TV show with a similar family layout as the Griffins.

The Griffins live in Quahog, Rhode Island where they interact with their family, friends, enemies, and other neighbors. Such neighbors are the Swansons, the Browns, and Glenn Quagmire as well as other characters with different personalities.

Family Guy vs The Simpsons
As stated before, Family Guy is often compared to The Simpsons and is even called a rip-off of it, premiering ten years after The Simpsons. Although this is believed by many, Family Guy satirizes celebrities more, has more blood, violence, and edgy jokes, and less Sobering Moments than The Simpsons. On top of this, its world is much less realistic in terms of characters and events, with the show featuring a talking dog, intelligent baby, and multiple Ultra Fights between a man and an anthopomorphic chicken.
