This show could be pretty damn hilarious at times, but it also had episodes I thought were just stupid and annoying, maybe even offensive. Later I liked it better in reruns on adult swim, though. And eventually Fox revived it, because it did so well on adult swim and in DVD sales. Anyway, the main characters are the Griffins, Peter and Lois, and their kids, Chris (played by Seth Green, one of my favorite actors), Meg (played by Mila Kunis, and I like her better in this than in "That 70's Show"), and the evil genius baby, Stewie, and the talking dog, Brian. The best things about the show were always Stewie and Brian. Also I kind of like some of the flashbacks and fantasy sequences and stuff like that. Some pop culture references and all kinds of things... can be quite funny.

Let's see, what else? The Griffins have some weird friends and stuff. Patrick Warburton does one of the voices, Peter's friend Joe Swanson. His other friends include Glenn Quagmire and Cleveland Brown. Um, and Adam West is in the show sometimes, as the mayor of Quahog, Rhode Island, where the show is set. And there are any number of other characters. I dunno what else to say. There's never that much of a plot, or... even if there is, there's at least as much time devoted to completely random stuff. Anyway, I don't watch the show that much, but when I do I generally enjoy it. And then again, sometimes I don't. The humor can be clever, but it can also be quite juvenile.

In 2009, Cleveland left Quahog to star in his own spinoff series, The Cleveland Show.
