Who says that’s cartoons aren’t allowed to use profanity and make fun of today’s society? Family guy awakens the subconscious and make the conscious aware. Family guy may have some rated R episodes and jokes but if you look at the show at a deeper perspective than just a face value, you will see the insightful meaning. Based on Peacocke’s article I would recommend young adults and adults to watch the show Family guy. Peacocke talks about her own struggle with the shows seemingly offensive humor.

The family includes Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie, and Brian. Peter is the dad, head of the household, he's a bit on the slow side, loves beer, and is in love with TV.

Not only to mention the emotions that comes with the show but as well I must include the incredible voice talent done for this show. Not only can the creator Seth MacFarlane, speak in these individual voices, he can sing in them as well. The television show is rated a 8.3 according to critics and viewers on IMDB. “After the Griffins become a Nielsen Family, everyone gets mad at
