Set in a Rhode Island town, the show follows the dysfunctional Griffin family as they navigate various scenarios in their daily lives. The family includes the bumbling father Peter and his long-suffering wife Lois. They have three children: the brilliant but sadistic baby Stewie, who aims to kill his mother and take over the world; the unpopular Meg; and the middle child Chris, who has a passion for movies. The household also features Brian, a talking dog who balances his life issues with keeping Stewie in check. The voice cast includes Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, and Mila Kunis. The program is characterized as a sick, twisted, and politically incorrect series that depicts the family members as they strive to cope with their everyday lives.
