Family Guy

Family Guy:

The show started on January 31st 1999 and has now became a huge hit all over the world, my view on this is that someone people love it and some people hate it. My say is that I love it and love to watch it every night, it is currently in its 12th season with a huge 210 episodes. Family Guy has been nominated for 12 Primetime Emmy Awards and 11 Annie Awards and he has won 3 of each. Although Family Guy has received a lot of criticism also including unfavourable comparisons for its similarites ot 'The Simpsons'
