Sitcoms

Family Guy:

 
Family Guy was created in 1999 and is still around to this day. The creator of the cartoon sitcom is Seth MacFarlane. The Sitcom is about a stereotypical American family who live in the city of Quahog, Rhode Island. The family consists of the dad and mainly based character Peter Griffin with his wife Lois Griffin with their children Stewie Griffin, Chris Griffin and Meg Griffin, along with their talking dog Brian Griffin. Lot of Family guys humour comes from everyday problems and situations involving each member of the family and from family member usually Peter mentioned references that are quickly showed to the audience.

In terms of the family it is very unbalanced with characters being more important than others. The main character Peter is dim-witted and has not much sense of what is going on, with him usually resorting to drastic measures to accomplish things. His wife Lois is usually sensible but at times can act strange and can also be dim-witted at times. She usually is frustrated by the rest of the family's strange actions. The oldest child Chris, bares a huge resemblance to his father Peter of being dim-witted and not realising much of what is happening around him, Chris is bullied at school and goes to extreme measures at times to make friends which often backfire. The middle child Meg is the most irrelevant character of the family and is constantly teased by the rest of her family, mainly Peter. Meg is often depressed as she is often teased at school for being ugly which also results in her going to extreme measures to make friend which also usually backfire. The youngest child Stewie is most probably the smartest in the family even though he is only around one years old. Stewie has a strange posh English accent, with high level intelligence and uses high level of vocabulary whilst speaking to other people, he also is best friends with Brian and has a strange sexual orientation, which most likely shows that he is bisexual. For many seasons Stewie plotted to kill his mother Lois and had secret weapons in his room, he also had a time machine. The family pet dog Brian is also one of the smartest and has a high level of intelligence like Stewie. Brian in the show spends most of his time with Stewie but at times is seen at bars of clubs being drunk and talking to women.

The Sitcom is most likely for aged for teens and adults.
