Family Guy cast
The Griffins may not be the best thing to come out of Rhode Island, but they’re certainly the funniest. Since 1999, the Griffins have wormed their way into our hearts as the second most recognizable animated American family. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Family Guy online for free.
Family Guy cast
Dimwitted Peter heads up the family from Quahog, Rhode Island with his devoted wife and occasional foil Lois. Their talking dog Brian is a pretentious, chain-smoking martini lover but is almost always the heart of any episode. Chris and Meg Griffin are both generally warm-hearted and well-intentioned, despite being the butt of just about everyone’s jokes. And then there’s Stewie: the ambiguously gay baby with schemes to conquer the world and murder his mommy. Together, their comedy magic is as big a part of the zeitgeist as The Simpsons and King of the Hill.
