The Griffin family is a fictional family which appears in the animated
television series Family Guy. The Griffins are a nuclear family
consisting of the married couple Peter and Lois, their three children
Meg, Chris, and Stewie and their anthropomorphic dog Brian. They live
at 31 Spooner Street in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island.
Their family car resembles a red sixth-generation Ford Country Squire.
They were created by Seth MacFarlane, in model of his two animated
films, The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve. The family debuted on
January 31, 1999, after Super Bowl XXXIII, in the episode "Death Has a
Shadow".Alongside the six main family members, there are a number of
other major and minor characters in their family. The most commonly
recurring characters are Lois's parents Carter and Barbara
Pewterschmidt, and Peter's now-deceased parents Francis and Thelma
Griffin. Other recurring family members include Lois's two siblings,
Carol and Patrick, as well as Brian's cousin Jasper.MacFarlane
conceived the idea for Family Guy in 1998, developing it out of his
two short films. MacFarlane caught the attention of Fox, and was given
$50,000 to make a pilot. MacFarlane completed the 11-minute pilot
after six months of hand animation. Upon review, Fox gave the green
light to Family Guy as a series. Although Family Guy's cancellation
was initially announced after the second season, Fox decided to make a
third season, after which it was cancelled in 2002. However, reruns on
Adult Swim drove up interest in the show, and its DVD releases did
quite well, selling over 2.2 million copies in one year, which renewed
network interest.Family Guy returned to production in 2004, making
four more seasons (for a total of seven) and a straight-to-DVD
special, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. The show celebrated its
official 100th episode during its sixth season in November 2007,
resulting in the show's syndication. The show is contracted to
continue producing episodes. Griffin family Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
