Family Guy, created by Seth MacFarlane, is a subversive animated comedy about the everyday trials and tribulations of family life.
It focuses on the middle class Griffin family from suburban New England. Couch potato Peter Griffin is the father and head of the family and Lois is his loving wife, who struggles to maintain a modicum of normality in their chaotic home life.
They have three children - teen queen Meg, 13-year-old slacker Chris and the youngest, Stewie, a diabolically clever and malicious baby who is intent on overthrowing his parents and achieving world domination. Wrapping up the family unit is Brian, the family dog, who just happens to be the brainiest of the bunch.
Creator Seth MacFarlane himself voices three of the characters - father Peter, baby Stewie and Brian the dog. Lois, the mother, is voiced by Alex Borstein, daughter Meg by Lacey Chabert and Seth Green (Austin Powers, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) provides the voice for son Chris.
