TV Show of the Week: #1

Hey guys, it's Shy Guy X here with the TV Show of the Week!

This series will mainly be about the best TV shows, that I randomly pick every week. The can be new, old, still running, and stopped. I will be doing this probably every Tuesday.

So here's number 1!

#1: Family Guy

Family Guy is an American animated television series created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.
The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing two animated films, The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve. MacFarlane redesigned the films' protagonist Larry and his dog Steve, and renamed them Peter and Brian, respectively. MacFarlane pitched a 15 minute pilot to Fox which aired on December 20, 1998. After the pilot aired the show was given the green light and started production. Shortly after the third season of Family Guy aired in 2001, Fox canceled the series. However, favorable DVD sales and high ratings for syndicated reruns on Adult Swim convinced the network to renew the show in 2004.
Family Guy has been nominated for 12 Primetime Emmy Awards and 11 Annie Awards, and has won three of each. It has garnered three Golden Reel Award nominations, winning once. In 2009, it was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, the first time an animated series was nominated for the award since The Flintstones in 1961. Family Guy has also received criticism, including unfavorable comparisons for its similarities to The Simpsons.
Many tie-in media have been released, including Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, a straight-to-DVD special released in 2005; Family Guy: Live in Vegas, a soundtrack-DVD combo released in 2005, featuring music from the show as well as original music created by MacFarlane and Walter Murphy; a video game and pinball machine, released in 2006 and 2007, respectively; since 2005, six books published by Harper Adult based on the Family Guy universe; and Laugh It Up, Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy, a series of parodies of the original Star Wars trilogy released in 2010. In 2008, MacFarlane confirmed that the cast was interested in producing a feature film and that he was working on a story for film adaptation. A spin-off series, The Cleveland Show, premiered on September 27, 2009, as a part of the "Animation Domination" lineup on Fox. The eighth season of Family Guy premiered on the same night.

Nice use of Wikipedia, eh?

Well guys I'll see ya next week. And if you haven't seen "Something, Something, Dark Side," WATCH IT!

Liked it fine up until Season 7. Season 7 was a deal-breaker. Haven't watched a new episode since.

Don't worry. I've already got a request for a very good show, that I'm sure all of you have heard of.

But, seriously guys, some TV shows may be good, or bad. You may send requests. I already have one for week two, so, you'll have to wait 'till week three.

I like Family Guy and its humor although there are lots of times when their sense of it becomes way beyond the line like the episode with Jesus.
They shouldn't have done that. Tsk.

Are we talking about things Family Guy shouldn't have done now, because I don't have time for that list.
