About Family Guy

Season 20 of Family Guy brings back all the biggest names from Quahog, Rhode Island. Family patriarch, television addict, and sloppy drunk Peter Griffin will lead us through the many misadventures staged by his loving if profoundly dysfunctional family. Homemaker, recovering kleptomaniac, and scion of wealth Lois, artistic moron Chris, family whipping boy Meg, megalomaniacal super-genius baby Stewie, and pretentious alcoholic dog Brian will all be in on the fun, whether having their own adventures or joining in the adventures of friends and family alike.

At last report, Family Guy was renewed by Fox for two more seasons, seasons 20 and 21. This ensures the show will run on Fox until at least 2023. The show’s recent departure from the Adult Swim programming block on Cartoon Network suggests that Fox may have plans for the show after all, and a further renewal is forthcoming. The latest word is that Family Guy is instead moving to FXX and Freeform, with further plans to reach Hulu at some point set to come later.

Little is known about season 20 as yet, but a check of the show's Wiki page makes some suggestions. The first episode of season 20, “Lasik Instinct,” features Lois apparently hitting a small child with the family car, which prompts her to get the titular eye surgery to address her failing vision. In true Family Guy fashion, she’ll be using her temporary blindness to land some extra cash. The next episode, “Rock Hard,” will feature Peter and his various drinking buddies recounting tales of classic rock icons, including Muddy Waters — already once featured musically passing a kidney stone — and Jim Morrison.

Family Guy

January 31, 1999

Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin’ Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he’s not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

Steve Anderson got his start writing about direct to video movies almost 15 years ago. This was back in a time when video stores were a part of everyday life, as opposed to being roadside attractions like gator farms or the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. With that writing on the wall in huge day-glo capital letters and probably moving neon, Steve migrated to streaming, which was clearly the future of home entertainment. Steve has been an enthusiastic proponent of the home theater for years, however, and seeing streaming's growth has proven gratifying as a way to fill the video store's shoes.
