Family Guy – Seth MacFarlane

Seth MacFarlane does many things such as being a singer, screenwriter, animator, comedian, actor, producer, and a composer. What Seth MacFarlane is best known for is being the creator of Family Guy and American dad.  He credits his inspiration to a number of comedians, citing Jackie Gleason as a big part of his growing view on what is funny.He not only created and produced Family Guy, but he also voiced several characters such as Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Peter Griffin, Tom Tucker, and Glenn Quagmire.

Family guy made it’s first television show appearance on January 31, 1999.  The random breaks in the show that go into a completely unrelated joke skit are what people either love or hate.  Although not adding to the story line directly, these small skits give the show many of the big laughs that fans tune in for.  Given the fact these can be interchangeable, there will never really be a shortage of ideas to continue to add the the spice of the Family Guy series. A family guy video game was also released in 2006. Seth MacFarlane also takes his casts members on the road so that he can voice his characters in front of a live audience. This gives the fans a chance to hear the future scripts that would be coming out. Family guy has been cancelled twice off of the air but because of the strong support that the fans put out with buying the DVDs, Fox reconsidered and put them back on.  Seth MacFarlane speaks at different universities throughout the United States. Seth is also the highest-paid producer and writer in history. Reportedly he is being paid $100 million by Fox T.V. Seth MacFarlane has received two Emmy awards for all of his vocal performances that he has done on Family Guy.

Family Guy – The Beginning

Family Guy - The BeginningFamily guy is an animated television show that uses story premises along with humor in their episodes.They were criticized the most by Entertainment Weekly, and then Seth MacFarlane went back at them in an episode entitled “There’s Something About Paulie” where Peter is going to the bathroom and he uses their magazine as if it were toilet paper. The television show South Park even takes a hit at Family guy. In the South Park episode entitled “Cartoon Wars,” they portray the Family Guy writers as manatees who simply push rubber balls which are their “idea balls” into a rubber bin. Of course other cartoonists criticized Family Guy because all of the animated shows like them are in competition with the others plus it makes for some good laughs.

The humor in Family Guy is adult in nature, although the fact it is a cartoon give the impression that it could be child appropriate.  Unfortunately, children under a certain age should not be watching the show, as the situations and events that take place are often times over their heads as well as inappropriate for their ages.  Luckily for us adults, the humor is timeless even when the events mentioned are time sensitive.  This is evident by the strong numbers in DVD sales which were the very reason that Family Guy still exists till this day.  By poking fun at the everyday activities most people subject themselves to, this show will continue to venture onto new stages of comedic genius, cementing its place as one of the best cartoon series to grace the often belittled Fox lineup.

Family Guy

Family Guy has to be one of my favorite TV shows of all times. Between that and South Park, I can’t even compare any other comedy show to them. I never used to like Family Guy until I actually started watching it. Once I started, I just could now stop. I think I’m addicted to this show because it makes me laugh so much. I don’t know if it’s because I’m on cloud nine, or if it’s just because the show is just plain hilarious.

When I watch Family Guy, I always eat animal crackers and smoke a little bit to get me really in the mode. The best part is that the show comes on like 3 different channels at 3 different times, but I’m’ a late nighter. I like to watch the family guy at 11 – 12 pm est. By 11, I”m usually off work, showered, and ready to chill for the night. So there is really no better thing to do at that time except to chill and laugh my butt off.

Family Guy Stewie has got to be my favorite character on the show because he just cracks me up. It’s crazy how the creators actually made a baby so cool. I mean a baby that can talk smack and mack on chicks is the coolest. Family Guy rocks, and this blog will be dedicated to everything Family Guy related.

Family Guy kicks ass, but so does South Park. I’ll be doing another site here on South Park next so stay tuned for that if you’re a south park fan. Thanks for reading and you have a great day. Peace !
