Family Guy

description

Although the producers of "Family Guy" claim that it represents a "dysfunctional" family, millions of American viewers say it looks perfectly representative of most of the families in their neighborhood. Part of the "animation domination" line-up on Fox Network, "Family Guy" dramatizes the everyday dramas in the lives of Peter and Lois Griffin, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their dog Brian. Like all Seth MacFarlane productions, "Family Guy" depends on scathing satire of American popular culture for most of its humor, stretching the "plausible impossible" to make the baby and the dog by far the smartest and most perceptive among the members of the family. The Griffins have garnered three Emmys and three Annies for MacFarlane and company, and they have earned one Golden Reel Award. In 2009, "Family Guy" earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series"”the first time since "The Flintstones" were nominated in 1962 that an animated series had numbered among the nominees.

American Dad!

2021
Animation & Cartoons
Either the CIA is just not that cool and relevant anymore, or Seth Macfarlane and associates are still mining the mother lode of 1970s humour as they develop episodes of "American Dad!" for Sunday nights on Fox. Television historians claim animated series have replaced sit-coms as television's principal source of informed social commentary; and "The Simpsons" have replaced "All in the Family" as the nation's premier satire, the weekly litmus test of American values and expectations. "American Dad!" shows little sign of aspiring to that lofty standing. Most episodes set the standard simply at "amusing." CIA agent and uber-patriot Stan Smith, the "American Dad!" anchors a predictably diverse, dysfunctional just-beyond-the-beltway family. Francine, his wife, appears to atone for her wild youth by remaining vacant, mostly boring in contemporary life. Hayley, Stan's college-aged radical daughter, naturally acts-out all the standard forms of late adolescent rebellion and family insurgency. And Steve, not surprisingly, enters puberty eager to live-up to Dad's expectations but congenitally incapable of coming even close. Holding its own in Fox's Sunday night animated line-up, "American Dad!" has improved in its several seasons on the air. Translation: "American Dad!" has evolved from "mediocre" to "not bad" as it has outgrown its abject dependence on cliches and stereotypes, freshened its subject matter and treatment, and drawn sharper edges on its characters. Still, the premises for "American Dad!" showed promise in 1973; in the new millennium, they seem a little tired.
