Peter Griffin if like the animated version of Al Bundy from Married with Children, he's funny, not so bright and obnoxious. The only difference between the two "Family Guy's" is that Peter makes being a stupid funny guy more enjoyable being that he is well… animated.
This show takes place in the fictional town of Quahog, Rode Island. Its main characters are Peter, Lois, their three children Meg, Chris and Stewie and the family's dog, Brian, who talks. This adult show centers on the family living with each other in a dysfunctional and often times degrading manner.
The main characters' main objectives are as follows: Stewie has elaborate plans of taking over the world and killing his mother, Lois, Chris and Meg are two teenagers dealing with the every day struggles of high school life, Peter is a fun-loving father who often puts his needs before the needs of others, and Brian is the pessimistic alcohol who is secretly in love with Lois.
In the past this show has been compared to another animated series called South Park. There have been allegations that one show has been copying but in the end, ratings speak for themselves. Both are animated, but there are many differences between the two shows. South Park is about four kids, Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny, who go to school and find adventurous ways of getting into mischief. Both are adult shows not suitable for children and both are seen as purely for entertainment purposes.
In conclusion the show is well written and highly comedic. The characters each have their own individual dilemmas and personalities and when they clash with one another that is when the true comedy can be seen. The amount of violence and vulgar language is kept at a minimum so that is does not take away from the show it merely adds to it. Overall, Family Guy is enjoyable to watch and being apart of their adventures each and every episode is more than worthwhile it's "gigity gigity goo!"

This show is so addicting. Before my husband, I strongly disliked this inappropriate show. But, he's gotten me hooked and as much as I hate it I find myself sitting down and watching it. I even quote it sometimes. It's a love hate relationship really.
The writer managed to misspell two words in the first paragraphs of a five-paragraph review...
Not a good beginning.
At least the second one was funny:
"the fictional town of Quahog, Rode Island."
If the town really is in "Rode Island," on the show, the writer needed to tip the reader off about the joke.
The writer didn't go into nearly enough depth at the outset to explain the show, which unless the reader was familiar with the program, would only cause confusion.
The portions about South Park might have actually been better used as a lead, with more explanation and more details further on.
Also, to make this stronger, the writer really needed to take a look at a specific episode, providing some analysis to show why readers show watch or not watch.
And reviewers usually don't say:
"In conclusion..." unless they are making a speech, reviewing a program verbally for an audience. And even then...
The conclusion should be obvious.
Peter Griffin would agree, if asked, I believe.
