Family Guy

The show is focused on the exploits and activities of the dysfunctional Griffin family, which consists of father Peter Griffin, a bumbling and awkward yet well-intentioned blue-collar worker; Lois, a stay-at-home mother and piano teacher (in early episodes) who is a member of the wealthy Pewterschmidt family; Meg, their frequently bullied adolescent daughter who is also routinely teased or ignored by the family; and Chris, their awkward teenage son, who is overweight, unintelligent, unathletic and, in many respects, is simply a younger version of his father; and Stewie, their diabolical infant son of ambiguous sexual orientation who is an adult-mannered evil genius and uses stereotypical archvillain phrases. Lastly, the family's anthropomorphic dog, Brian, is clever, smokes, drinks martinis, is snarky, speaks English, and is still treated as a pet in many ways.
