Family Guy is one of the most popular animated series in the history of television and it was conceived in 1995, by Seth MacFarlane, who also lent his voice to one of the main characters. Since then, the show has known an immense success and it is very beloved by both children and adults. Family Guy centers the life of the Griffins, a family consisting of Peter and Lois, the parents, Meg, Chris and Stewie, the children, and Brian, the dog. Especially for the show’s fans, here are some fun facts about Family Guy.

One of the funniest facts is actually the tagline of the show: ‘Don’t Die Laughing. We Could Get Sued’, which fans loved, mostly because it catches the essence of the show and its comedy nature. Almost all episodes begin with the family sitting on the couch, all the characters have only four fingers on each hand and in every episode there is an instance when a character is saying to another ‘What the hell…’. Brian, the dog, is very cynical and he is smarter than everyone else in the family. He also drives a Toyota Prius, with a license plate that says ‘Bri Dog’.

Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the show, stated that the reason why Meg is constantly abused by her family is because the writers were men who did not have a clue what to write about a teenage girl. Seth is also a fan of Star Wars and Star Treck, which explains the frequent references to them in the show. When the show was canceled, 111.000 people signed an online petition to prevent that from happening.

As you can see, Family Guy is highly appreciated by people in the whole world, and it is still running. It has reached its 10th season and it has nearly 200 episodes. Even though it is an animated series, Family Guy is not only intended for children. If you did not watch any episode yet, do not hesitate in doing that, because it will make you laugh like you have never laughed before and it will cheer you up instantly.
