CRAP
Here I was just sitting on my couch and killing sometime when I switched the channel to Jack TV (a channel if you have a cable). Interested, I continued to watch the cartoon series entitled ''The Family Guy'' and I must admit that it was downright funny. Since then, I continued to watch the series and they were still living to their title as being one of the funniest cartoon series. It was really senseless and it being senseless made it really funny. For those people who do not know The Family Guy yet, please let me continue.
The Family Guy
Since its debut in 1999, the Emmy-nominated FAMILY GUY has attracted an impressively large and loyal follwing of devoted fans and has sold more than 3MM combined units on DVD, making it the fourth-largest TV series seller ever. FAMILY GUY's passionate fan base (or as Stewie likes to call them, his ''Minions'') combined with its success on DVD, and its record ratings on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, prompted FOX to bring the show back (and in our case, pinalabas dito sa Jack TV).
The Family is composed of the distinctively twisted and irreverently outrageous trials and tribulations of PETER GRIFFIN and his not-quite-so-average family of middle-class New Englanders. LOIS is Peter's loving wife, who struggles to maintain a modicum of normalcy in their home life. Then there are their kids: angst-ridden, 16-year-old MEG, eho only really wants to get noticed; 13-year-old CHRIS, a swwt-natured slacker; and 1-year-old STEWIE, a diabolically clever baby who's already bent on world domination. Rounding out the Griffin household is BRIAN, the brainy family dog who likes his martinis as dry as his dog food.
Characters:
Peter Griffin - is a big, boisterous, lovable oaf who isn't afraid to say what's on his freakin' mind -- usually the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. He lives in Quahog, Rhode Island with his wife Lois, their three children -- Chris, Meg and Stewie -- and his well-spoken best friend, Brian, the family dog. Peter would do anuthing for his family, as long as it doesn't get in the way of his TV time.
After his boss at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Company, Mr. Weed, suffered a freak choking accident at the Griffin residence, Peter found himself without a job and without an income. After trying his hand at numerous jobs, Peter bought a boat, hired a crew of 2 Portuguese men, and has now settled into his new career as a local fisherman.
What Peter lacks in common sense and good judgment, he makes up for in enthusiasm. He often goes overboard when he latches onto an idea. Whether he's leading an improvisation scene during a bank robbery or running barefoot in the rain with William Shatner, Peter Griffin is always looking for fun.
Lois Griffin -is a modern-day housewife who finds time to cook, clean, run errands, teach piano and avoid daily attempts on her life by her baby son, Stewie. Of course, a mother's lo0ve runs deep. So deep in this case, that Lois is blind to Stewie's matricidal intentions, attributing his perperual foul mood to plain old crankiness.
Born in upper-crust Newport, Rhode Island, the one-time heiress to the Pewterschmidt family estate gave up the privileged life to be with the towel boy she fell in love with. She hasn't looked back since. No matter how many times Peter falls down (in some cases due to too many Pawtucket Patriot beers), Lois is right there to pick him up again.
Lois is generally the voice of reason that Peter can't hear until it's too late. However, even Lois has been known to temporarily leave her senses. In fact, rumor has it dhe's put on bold and seductive piano performances right in the family's basement.
Lois is a complex and mysterious woman. Think of Martha Stewart (The host in ''Martha'' -a show in Lifestyle Network) meets Barbarella.
Meg Griffin -Sixteen-year-old Meg Griffin lives a difficult life. She is a total outsider at school as well as at home. The constant butt of the joke, Meg is forever reminded what a loser she really is. She is constantly struggling to gain acceptance from the ''in'' crowd, or any crowd for that matter.
A bit of drama queen, Meg pines for her hunky new neighbor, Kyle. Unfortunately, not even a clingy new dress or an eleven-hundred-dollar Prada bag seem to get her any closer to first base.
Like most girl her age, Meg is often embarrassed by her family. However, most girls don't have Peter Griffin as their father, who has turned embarrassment into an art. He once interrupted Meg's class to chide her about chaving her legs in the shower, complaining that ''it's like a carpet there!''
But Meg will curvive. And one day she'll get the popularity she so richly deserves. Yeah Right. (LOL).
Chris Griffin -Chris Griffin is an overgrown, sweet-hearted 13-year-old who looks imposing, but wouldn't hurt a fly (unless it landed on his hot dog, his favorite food). In that case, Chris would probably treat the fly as a condiment (Honestly...).
Chris doesn't have many friends. He often stays to himself, sometimes spending time alone in his bedroom. Or that is what you may think. He is in fact tormented by an evil monkey that resides in his closet. Though Chris shares his tales of the pointing and sneering primate with his parents, they are forever indiffirent to his cries.
Chris idolizes Peter and works hard not to disappoint him. It's a good thing for Chris that his father's expectations are so low. Still, Chris does have some hidden talents, especially his ability to draw. He should probably spend more time cultivating his skill and less time with Peter in front of the boob tube, looking for boobs.
A true individual, Chris lumbers to the beat of his own drum. Although physically he's matured early, he still has a way to go intellectually. But just because he's still not clear on where babies come from doesn't mean he's not eager to learn.
