CIA Agent Stan Smith is constantly fighting off terrorists who threaten the safety of the USA (sometimes causing more harm than good). His wife Francine is an average housewife with two kids: Hayley, an average rebellious teenager and Steve, a geek who enjoys Dungeons and Dragons, gaming and comic book conventions. Then there’s Roger, the home’s illegal (space) alien who the Smith’s are keeping protected. Last but not least, there’s Klaus, the Smiths’ wisecracking talking fish (swapped from his human body years ago by the CIA).

Created by Seth MacFarlane, 'Family Guy' introduces us to the Griffins, a dysfunctional family living in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island. The family comprises bumbling Peter Griffin; his long-suffering wife, Lois; their three children: Meg (the most unpopular girl in town), Chris (a movie enthusiast with questionable intelligence), and Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on world domination); and their talking pet dog Brian who is often seen sipping Martinis and musing about his life issues.
What sets 'Family Guy' apart from other animation comedies? It's all about its unique brand of humor. The series is known for its metafictional cutaway gags which offer satirical commentary on American culture. Despite having faced criticism for its edgy storylines and character stereotypes, it continues to draw viewers with its sharp wit and unexpected plot twists.
