Family Guy centers on the vulgar antics of Peter Griffin and his family. Peter is a selfish, dim-witted lout. Peter’s wife, Lois, tries unsuccessfully to keep order in the house. Peter and Lois have three children: Meg is an anxiety prone sixteen-year-old outcast; Chris is a lazy thirteen-year-old dolt; and Stewie is a precocious toddler bent on world domination. Rounding out this dysfunctional family is Brian, the Griffins’ acerbic, hard-drinking dog.

Now in its 10^th season, this series delivers some of the most vile, offensive content on broadcast television. Last season, for example, Brian ate the feces out of Stewie’s diaper and licked his rear clean.  Sex is constant, with virtually every episode awash in lewd sexual references or taboo topics such as incest, bestiality and pedophilia. Language is a major issue, with words such as “ass,” “douche,” and “son of a bitch” used frequently. Violence is just as frequent, with the season premiere centering on a murder mystery with many people shot or stabbed to death.

Family Guy is not recommended for viewers under age 18.
