It was created by Seth MacFarlane and centers around the Griffin family - parents Peter and Lois, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their pet dog Brian.

The show follows a basic formula for each episode but sometimes varies the opening for theme or cultural episodes.
2. Family Guy is an American animated television series created by Seth
MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on
the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and
Lois; their children meg Chris and Stewie; and their pet dog Brian.
The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing two
animated films, The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve. MacFarlane
redesigned the films' protagonist, Larry, and his dog, Steve, and
renamed them Peter and Brian, respectively.

4. Family guy always starts and ends the same way. However
there are some episode they start differently due to the theme
or cultural reasons such as Christmas, Halloween and etc.
In addition family guy also has the same song every time it
starts and finishes, however it also changes at some
circumstances. The family guy tune is catchy and people who
watch it will recognize it straight away
5. Family Guy uses satire as its most evident
language feature to intentionally degrade
famous celebrities. Satire is an effective
form of humor, as the flaws in a famous
individual are intentionally provoked to the
audience through direct dialogue. An
example of satire is when Peter expresses
his appreciation for his wife by stating
“…look at you ! You look like Britney Spears
! Except not a fat guy”. This satirical
comment relates to the rapid weight gain of
pop star Britney Spears. This form of satire
is common in the writers dialogue, as the
humor is aimed at the flaws in common
celebrities, and no individual ideas are
needed to capture the audience. I believe
this is also an effective technique, as it
makes the show controversial which results
in a captured audience.
