 The Griffin family. From left to right: Brian, Lois, Peter, Stewie, Chris and Meg Family Guy is an American animated television sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie, and their pet dog Brian. The show uses frequent cutaway gags, often in the form of tangential vignettes which parody American culture. Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane created a short film in 1995 entitled The Life of Larry while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design.[1] The short featured a middle-aged slob named Larry Cummings, his cynical talking dog, Steve, supportive wife Lois, and pudgy teenage son Milt.[2] The film begins with a live-action segment where MacFarlane, as himself, briefly describes the show and its characters.[2] After being hired at Hanna-Barbera, MacFarlane was given a chance in 1996 to direct a sequel entitled Larry and Steve,[1] a seven-minute short[3] broadcast as part of Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons.[1] The film stars MacFarlane, who reprises his role as Larry Cummings and his talking dog Steve, among various background characters, and Lori Alan, who provided additional character voices.[3] MacFarlane conceived the idea for the Family Guy in 1999, developing it out of his two short films. This caught the attention of Fox, and gave MacFarlane $50,000 to make a pilot. MacFarlane completed the 11 minute pilot after six months of hand animation. Upon review, Fox gave the green light to Family Guy as a series.[4] Although Family Guy's cancellation was initially announced after the second season, Fox decided to make a third season,[5][6] after which it was truly canceled at the end of 2003. However, reruns on Adult Swim drove up interest in the show, and its DVD releases did quite well, selling over 2.2 million copies in one year, which renewed network interest.[7] Family Guy returned to production in 2004, making four more seasons (for a total of seven) and a straight-to-DVD special, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. The show celebrated its official 100th episode during its sixth season in November 2007, resulting in the show's syndication.[8] The show is contracted to continue producing episodes until 2012.[9] Family Guy and its cast have been nominated for eleven Emmy Awards, with three wins. MacFarlane won the Outstanding Voice-Over Performance award for his performance as Stewie, Murphy and MacFarlane won the Outstanding Music and Lyrics award for the song "You Got a Lot to See" from the episode "Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows", and Steven Fonti won the Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation award for his story-board work in the episode "No Chris Left Behind".[10] The show has also been nominated for eleven Annies, and won three times, twice in 2006 and once in 2008. The show has also been nominated for a Golden Reel Award four times, winning once.[10] In 2009, it was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, becoming the first animated program to be nominated in this category since The Flintstones in 1961.[11] [edit] Seasons | Season | Episodes | Originally aired | DVD vol. | DVD release date (R1) | | 1 | 7 | 1999 | 1 | April 15, 2003 | | 2 | 21 | 1999 - 2000 | | 3 | 22 | 2001 – 2003 | 2 | September 9, 2003 | | 4 | 30 | 2005 – 2006 | 3 | November 29, 2005 | | 4 | November 14, 2006 | | Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story! | September 27, 2005 | | 5 | 18 | 2006 – 2007 | 5 & 6 | September 18, 2007 (Vol. 5) | | 6 | 12 | 2007 – 2008 | 6 & 7 | October 21, 2008 (Vol. 6) | | Blue Harvest | January 15, 2008 | | 7 | 16 | 2008 – 2009 | 7 & 8 | June 16, 2009 (Vol. 7) | | 8 | -- | 2009 – 2010 | 8 | TBA (Vol. 8) | | Something, Something, Something, Darkside | December 22, 2009 | | 9 | -- | 2010 – 2011 | -- | TBA | [edit] Episodes - # is the episode's number within that season.
