Overview - Family Guy

Overview

Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

  The wildly irreverent, shrewdly crude animated sensation that has been confounding the PC police since the last millennium is back! Not even the insufferable humiliation of network cancellation was enough to keep "TV's most outrageous cartoon clan" down. So raise your martini glasses in unison as "Family Guy" returns with a vengeance for more hilarious episodes that find Peter going blind, Lois in prison, Meg getting a makeover, Chris befriending a talking zit, Stewie smitten with his sitter, and Brian winning the heart of "The Bachelorette".
