Family Guy (1999): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1999, Family Guy is a comedy and animation series. “Parental Discretion Advised, that's how you know it's good.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

Who’s in it. Family Guy stars Seth MacFarlane as Peter Griffin / Brian Griffin / Stewie Griffin / Glenn Quagmire / Tom Tucker (voice), Alex Borstein as Lois Griffin / Tricia Takanawa / Loretta Brown / Barbara Pewterschmidt (voice), Mila Kunis as Meg Griffin (voice) and Seth Green as Chris Griffin (voice), among others.
