Summaries

In a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strives to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another.

Sick, twisted, and politically incorrect, the animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Endearingly ignorant Peter and his homemaker wife Lois reside in Quahog, Rhode Island with their three kids. Meg, their eldest, is a social outcast; teenage Chris is awkward and clueless about girls; and the youngest, Stewie, is a genius baby bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. Their talking dog Brian keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own life issues.—Jwelch5742

Meet the Griffins, a family of 6 living in Rhode Island: father Peter has the responsibility of saving his family from the daily dilemma (of which he is often the cause); Lois is a witty homemaker; eldest child and only daughter Meg is a social outcast; Chris is a grotesque teenager; baby Stewie has eerie intentions to destroy the world; and their talking dog Brian is the smartest family member. Every scene contains humor and wit to produce constant laughter throughout the episode.—Hardy

The Griffin household includes two teenagers, a cynical dog who is smarter than everyone else, and an evil baby who makes numerous attempts to eradicate his mother. Heading this eclectic, eccentric household is Peter Griffin, who tries his best to do what's right for the family, but along the way he makes mistakes that are the stuff of legend.—Ronos

The Griffin household includes parents Peter and Lois, teenagers Meg and Chris, their malevolent baby brother Stewie who makes numerous attempts to eradicate his parents and siblings. and family dog Brian, who is so much more than the "typical" family dog--in fact, he is smarter than everyone else in the house and can't resist flaunting it sometimes.—Corey Semple - Superman2002
