Family Guy

Last night, for the first time, I caught an episode of Family Guy on "Jack TV." In fact, Chief had seen a couple of episodes and was able to describe to me how the characters relate to each other.

I did some research and learned about this animated TV series, which first made it’s presence on Fox in 1999. It is about a family residing in Rhode Island and was created by Seth MacFarlane. There is even talk of a possible movie. Following the footsteps of "The Simpsons."

The series was cancelled once in 2000 and again in 2002, but strong DVD sales and the large viewership of reruns on Cartoon Network's convinced FOX to resume the show in 2005. Photos courtesy of 20th Century Fox

Last night episode showed how the son, Chris Griffin, helped arrest a criminal until the FBI relocated the family to the “south.” Here they adjust to the “southern” lifestyle.

There were some real fun moments specially, when there was a “brokeback” kiss until the son finds out that the boy is a girl, when she invites him for a swim and she strips down to her underwear.

When the criminal catches up with the family, their southerner neighbors come to the rescue and kill the criminal. Chris and his girlfriend kiss goodbye.

If you want a couple of good laughs on a Sunday night, why not catch an episode of “The Family Guy.”
