Family Guy is an American
animated television
sitcom created by
Seth MacFarlane for the
Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the
dysfunctional Griffin family, which consists of father
Peter (MacFarlane), mother
Lois (
Alex Borstein), daughter
Meg (
Lacey Chabert in episodes 1–9, then
Mila Kunis in "
Da Boom" onwards), son
Chris (
Seth Green), baby
Stewie (MacFarlane) and
Brian (MacFarlane), the family dog. The show is set in the fictional town of Quahog,
Rhode Island, and lampoons
American culture, often in the form of
cutaway gags, and tangential
vignettes.
