Online Watch Family Guy Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.In a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strive to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another. The show follows the adventures of lovable oaf Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) and his hilariously odd family of middle-class New Englanders. Lois (Alex Borstein) is Peter's loving wife, a former Miss Teen Rhode Island who rules the roost but is one step away from a nervous breakdown. Then there are their kids: frumpy 17-year-old Meg (Mila Kunis), the family's punching bag; 13-year-old Chris (Seth Green), a kid who doesn't understand girls, much less the evil monkey who recently emerged from his closet; and 1-year-old Stewie (MacFarlane), a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress.
Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian (MacFarlane), the family dog, a member of Mensa with a penchant for dry martinis and dumb blondes.

I just got a flash of someone, like, looking it up on Wikipedia or something.mom, what’s a video rental store? Is it like Redbox? Younger sister: Mom, what’s a Redbox? But I digress..)
Call it shock comedy or whatever, but it truly is a thing, as sure as I’m sitting here. If anything, it’s been around long enough that, say, Kevin Smith is able to make a living talking about it alone- not making movies in that genre, mind you, but talking about stuff in a shocking manner via his small army of podcasts.
(Or should I say, Garmy?) In fact, podcasts of a certain stripe have become like the new stand-up comedy for people who prefer never to leave the house and go to the hassle of going to an actual, you know, show. (Ask me what stand-up comedy is, and I will hit you.)
Fox, home to “Family Guy“- again- should know. They have been building an empire of the stuff for ages, right from the get-go with “Married With Children” and “The Simpsons,” the latter of which used to pass enough for racy back in the day for my sister not to let her kids watch it at the time. Now they have a straight block of it on Sundays, not to mention a bunch of reality shows that are bleeped out up the wazoo.
Within minutes of the opening on the premiere of “Family Guy” entitled “Into Fat Air,” they dropped a pedophilia joke and a domestic abuse debate-baiting crack about Chris Brown. Before the night ended, they’d also tackled old-school casual racism (“It’s okay, Sammy’s in on it.”) and cannibalism.
And it’s not as if the guy comes off like a douche. He seems to be having the time of his life, in fact. He almost single-handedly saved a recent typically hit-or-miss “SNL” episode (How great was that monologue?), and “Ted” was a hoot- and a big hit.
Hell, even my mom knows who he is, and she wouldn’t watch an episode of “Family Guy” in a million years. Okay, there was that unfortunate Sinatra-style CD he put out, but show-biz types do that sort of thing all the time and get away clean with it, so we’ll let it slide. Everyone’s entitled to one misstep.
It was 8 years ago that I wrote a review on Family Guy. I thought better to start fresh than to update it. Thankfully the show has lasted all of these years and is making some crazy episodes.
The show becomes more and more daring, but I think unlike when it first came around we are not surprised to see what this show does. Imagine all those years ago when Family Guy was canceled if it was not brought back. That would have been a sad affair. This show is exciting and edgy and I love it.
I do understand that kids tend to watch shows like this because it is a cartoon and it is not appropriate for children. We are in a different age and for many years (thanks to shows like the Simpsons) cartoons are not just for kids. Some are for adults.
