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.

The adventures of a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century.

The world's first animated reality series gathers icons from all corners of the cartoon universe and lets them loose, with plenty of cameras to catch their exploits. Here's what happens when eight cartoon characters stop being polite and start getting real.

With the Griffins stuck at home during a blackout, Peter tells the story of "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope".

Peter makes good on another power outage at home by retelling "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back".

You can learn a lot from a maniacal baby genius bent on a world of domination, but we kinda hope you don't. In the shockingly hilarious 100th episode of Family Guy, Stewie makes good on his threat to do away with "vile woman" he calls Lois.
