Family Guy - Creation.
While studying at the Rhode Island School of Design, Seth MacFarlane created a short film entitled The Life of Larry about a middle-aged slob named Larry Cummings, his cynical talking dog, Steve, his wife Lois and oversized son Milt. This film includes many of the same gags that would end up on Family Guy.
After being hired at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., MacFarlane was given a chance at the age of 22 in 1996 to direct a sequel to the short entitled Larry and Steve< ...

| | | | Family Guy - Structural and comedic approach: Encyclopedia II - Family Guy - Characters The show revolves around the adventures of Peter Griffin and his family. Peter is an incompetent blue-collar worker, and a bumbling, drunken father, yet still a dedicated family man.
Peter is Irish-American and is also directly descended from an African-American slave owned by his wife's ancestors. His wife, Lois, a stay-at-home mom and piano teacher, is the daughter of the Pewterschmidts, a wealthy socialite family. Their children are socially awkward: status-conscious Meg Griffin, whose supposed ugliness has driven people to set the ...

| | | | Family Guy - Structural and comedic approach: Encyclopedia II - Family Guy - Theme Song Its music composed by Walter Murphy, the familiar theme music of the show begins as a parody of the opening theme of All in the Family, where Peter and Lois sing at the family piano, à la Archie and Edith Bunker. The song then breaks from the Griffins' living room into a giant chorus-line performance by the rest of the immediate family and a line of Rockette-like dancers.
There has been some confusion over Stewie's solo line of "laugh and cry". Because it immediately follows a music sting, "laugh and cry" has been mistaken for ...

| | | | Family Guy - Structural and comedic approach: Encyclopedia II - Family Guy - Episodes In keeping with the humorous tone of the series, most episode titles of Family Guy are parodies of popular television shows, movies, and mottos.
For the first half of the first season, the writers tried to work the words "murder" or "death" into the title of every episode (i.e., Mind over Murder and Death has a Shadow) to make the titles resemble those of old-fashioned radio mystery shows. On a DVD commentary, creator Seth McFarlane ...

| | | | Family Guy - Structural and comedic approach: Encyclopedia II - Family Guy - Family Guy vs. The Simpsons Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane in particular have been frequent targets of the Simpsons, and vice versa.
The Simpsons has included many joking references to Family Guy and its alleged plagiarism.
In "Treehouse of Horror XIII," Homer creates an army of clones of himself that are each progressively dumber than the real Homer. One of the clones is shown to be Peter Griffin.
In "The Wandering Juvie," Bart Simpson was insulted when Gina Vendetti called him a "Family Guy."
In "Treehouse of ...

| | | | Family Guy - Structural and comedic approach: Encyclopedia II - Family Guy - Controversy Being a largely adult-oriented program, Family Guy has become a lightning rod of controversy for its brusque approach to comedy, which deals with politically sensitive topics without enormous concern for the boundaries of good taste—often considered one of the primary reasons for its initial cancellation. Many episodes were trimmed for controversial content, and one episode, "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," was initially refused airtime on FOX because its plotline—where Peter attempts to convert Chris to Judaism in hopes of makin ...

| | | | Family Guy - Structural and comedic approach: Encyclopedia II - Family Guy - Other peers and critics Clerks. director Kevin Smith and David Mandel, co-producer on Smith's short-lived Clerks animated series, have gone on record as Family Guy haters: in the final episode of their cartoon they included a scene in which a bad comedy writer consults a book entitled "How To Write Cartoons by Seth McFarlane (sic)." Upon consulting the book, he suggests that the writers send the characters to Gilligan's Island and make gay jokes about them, illustrating their opinion that the show lazily attempts to disguise poor ...
