my info on family guy

Family guy

Show: Family guy

Creator:  Seth Macfarlane

Genre: animated sitcom

Country of origin: USA

Channel: BBC Three: BBC three is known for showing programs that are more intended for people of 12, 15 or over and sometimes it shows movies that are more for families.
Fox: Fox is a channel that involves serious shows but at the same time

Age: teenagers and so on. It also goes towards people who have lived through the 80’s as the show tends to make remarks and reference jokes towards many thing that happened in the 80’s,90’s and so on and sometimes the 60’s and 70’s, so the show can apply to all kind of corners of comedy when a reference is made, so it is more about preference and people who love comedy than people's age.

Gender: both genders since the series makes jokes that kind of balance a few sexist comments that are made a lot in the show. but the plot also effects life lessons of any kind of sexuality.

Language: The earlier parts of show involved swearing and the later as well but the later seasons involve more kinds of comedy and jokes that apply to people of 15 or over. 

Character: The Characters of the show go into a lot into different kinds of beliefs that are put into the show. 

Such as Brian griffin the dog, who is an atheist and a hard core liberal who usually talks allot on important issues which is one of the parts i love about this character. Though some of his arguments distract a bit from the comedy, the writers balance them in a way so that the messages that they give out have pros and cons. mainly most characters have a lot of comedy to their personalities but at the same time it shows more life lessons and how life can be sometimes. The Characters don't really go through much development but I really don't think they need to because they are pretty much good the way they, but it is good to see a little when they learn a lesson after one of peter's crazy schemes goes wrong.

Peter Griffin is the central character of the show who is described more of a overweight blue color, immature, care free, dim-witted, heavy drinking, impulsive stereo type of Irish Americans. He is usually getting into trouble with the law, he is always being violent to his daughter or his enemy's (especially a giant chicken) of the show and is sometimes ignorant to things happening around him.

Lois Griffin is peter griffins wife and on occasion is just as reckless and irresponsible. she is the stereotypical cartoon wife most of the time. the rest of the time she is hypercritical towards most of the other family members. She was brought up in a rich house hold by her parents. later she met peter.
that is basically the full description on the character.

Chris Griffin is the son of Peter and Lois griffin. Chris was designed to be a rebellious teenager but as the show has gone on he has changed to a unhygienic, mentally immature, socially awkward teenager that has still used the same running gag on the series known as the angry monkey, where a monkey jumps out of the closet and scares Chris with its angry face while pointing at him.

Stewie Griffin is the youngest child in the griffin family he is obsessed with violence and is an evil genius of sorts. he use build all sorts of inventions in the early series but didn't make them as much as he use to. He also had an obsession on killing his mother but as the show went on he kind of just made threats about it.

Meg Griffin is the oldest of the three Griffin children. Mega is is thought of and treated like the black sheep of her family and gets the least attention especially by her father. Meg is mistreated by her whole family and is usually unappreciated. but in one episode Meg finally stands up for herself and finds out in the end that because her family is so dysfunctional they need a person to take out all of their insecurities on, in the end Meg tells the family that it is all her fault for causing their arguments and the family reconciles. but really Meg lied in order to keep her family together discovering that maybe if she feels bad about herself maybe her family doesn't.

Music: The show goes with Boston style sitcom music that tells ya of when a new scene begins or when one end.

Narrative structure: The show goes opening, mid storyboard and ending. The story plays out like a regular sitcom, it goes from the start , then a situation is involved, then things are resolved just before the ending.
Culture: American stereotypes.
Animation: the animation is a little bit like camera work but instead it follows the characters where ever they go and cuts back to them when there's a speaking scene or close up. the show also involves flash backs that involve a very hilarious joke.

Social class: anyone who likes comedy.
Audience: The people who like the family guy show are that type that can laugh at

Lifestyle:
Location: the show goes to the around the world but in case of some countries taking it offense it is aired out of those countries.

Reason for liking it: People like the show because it plays on current events and keeps up to speed withits jokes and includes well thought out plots that some peoploe can relate to. The storyboards are some what original and they can play on the events that have occurred in the news or things that are usally being brought up alot as trends. And in some scenes where the charactersw tackle important views such as gay marriage or legalisation of things people can sometimes rally behind that and agree with it.
But the show is not about political views it is mainly about a dysfuntional family life and how the family gets through the day. In my own oppinon I think that the show great and that it should keep going on with its completely hiloarious storyboard becuase it is absolutly one of the best shows i've ever watched.
