Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeth MacFarlane based the voice of Peter Griffin on a security guard he knew while going to college at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
- GoofsWhen shown a quick view of Cleveland's House it is one and a half story Cape Cod house, like Peter's House. But, whenever Peter does one of his "Shenanigans' near Cleveland's house, it is a full two story, non-Cape Cod home.
- Quotes
Peter Griffin: Brian, there's a message in my Alpha Bits. It says "OOOOOO".
Brian Griffin: Peter, those are Cheerios.
- Crazy creditsIn the new HD seasons intro, the generic dancers on the stairs are replaced by actual characters from the show.
- Alternate versionsSome episodes air in a somewhat-edited version in their original FOX airings and syndicated airings, but air in a racier, "uncut" version on Adult Swim, with some extra scenes or alternate versions of scenes. However, Adult Swim still bleeps the most profane of language.

Featured review
This and South Park are shows that master dark comedy and satire.
It is very well written, the jokes are good and land (most of the time).
The voice actors in this show are incredible, the Griffin's voices are iconic and have their moments.
On the other hand, after season 13 it really fell apart, the episodes aren't nearly as funny and are basically the same, they barely make any Brian and Stewie episodes (which are the best episodes).
Unlike South Park, it doesn't get better with age, it isn't as culturally relevant (even when it shouldn't be) and feel boring and painfully unfunny.
Seasons 1-13: great Seasons 14-present: no, just no.
