About this deal

Though the series has long been compared with The Simpsons, which preceded it as an animated show focused on family dynamics, pushing the envelope with its subversive tone and spirit, Moore contends that " Family Guy is no Simpsons knockoff, as a few Simpsons loyalists insists. It is then mentioned again in " Baby Not On Board", when Stewie said he would replace every single instance of the word "and" with the word "fart".

He ultimately confesses that he too considers the book to be of a low standard, admitting that he wrote it in a day in the hope that it would sell.

While MacFarlane worked on the series, the characters of Larry and his dog Steve slowly evolved into Peter and Brian. The New Yorker 's Nancy Franklin said that Family Guy is becoming one of the best animated shows; she commented on its ribaldry and popularity.

Favorable DVD sales and high ratings from syndicated reruns since then convinced Fox to revive the show in 2004; a fourth season began airing the following year, on May 1, 2005. Family Guy 's cancellation was announced shortly after the third season had aired in 2002, with one unaired episode eventually premiering on Adult Swim in 2003, finishing the series' original run.

Set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, the show exhibits much of its humor in the form of metafictional cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. Namely, with the fast pace of today’s world, we’re forgetting about the value of picking up a book and forgetting the world. Brian decides to hire Stewie (because of his connections that helped publish the book) as his publicist when the book becomes popular, and organizes a publicity tour. Archival recordings of Lacey Chabert's voice that she provided as Meg Griffin are used in the tenth season episode " Back to the Pilot" in which Brian and Stewie go back in time to the events of "Death Has a Shadow. In " Space Cadet", as the family faces death when their space shuttle goes out of control, Brian worries that his book wasn't everything he wanted in spots.
