Family Guy is an animated television series set in the
fictional town of Quahog (pronounced "KOH-hog"),
Rhode Island. The title character is the head of an Irish-Catholic,
lower-middle class family frequently beset by the consequences
of his antics. As a situation comedy, the premise closely
mirrors that of The Simpsons, but the delivery of laughs
is done quite differently. Brief cut-aways and flash backs
to various points in history, geography, and reality involving
the characters and their ludicrous actions are a staple
of the show's unique brand of humor. The show was created
by Seth MacFarlane, who voices many of the characters.
The cast also includes actress Jennifer Tilly, That '70s
Show star Mila Kunis, actor Seth Green, MADtv star Alex
Borstein, and comedic actor Patrick Warburton. Former
Batman star Adam West and Haley Joel Osment, among others,
also occasionally appear.The show revolves around the
adventures of Peter Griffin and his family.
