25-year-old creator/executive producer Seth MacFarlane serves up the subversive animated comedy "Family Guy". The show presents the everyday trials and tribulations of family life, but with the distinctive twist and irreverent slant that only animation can provide. Peter Griffin is the father of this not-quite-so-average family unit of middle class New Englanders. Lois is Peter's loving wife who struggles to maintain a modicum of normalcy in their home life. Rounding out the Griffin household are their children: teen queen Meg, 13-year-old slacker Chris, and their youngest child Stewie, a diabolically clever baby who's already set on conquering the world. And then there's Brian, the brainiest of the bunch, who also happens to be the family dog. "Family Guy" is one of the funniest and most exciting animated shows ever to hit television. Since its debut in 1999, the Emmy®-nominated animated series FAMILY GUY has attracted an impressively loyal following of devoted fans and has sold over 5 million combined DVD units, making it the fourth-largest TV series seller ever. The subversive show's success on DVD, combined with the ratings records it has set on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, prompted FOX to bring it back for a fifth season. As Peter Griffin says, "Freakin' Sweet!"
