After more than two decades on air, Seth MacFarlane’s adult animated series “Family Guy” continues to — as its characters sing in its theme song — make us laugh and cry.
Lucky there was a man to give the world the iconic yet majorly dysfunctional animated family that is Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie and Brian Griffin. MacFarlane created the show, which made its debut on Jan. 31, 1999, after his days working as an animator and writer at Hanna-Barbara, known as Cartoon Network today.
And although it’s never taken home the most elite Emmy award in animation, Outstanding Comedy Series or Outstanding Animated Program, the show remains a fan-favorite 21 seasons in.
The most recent season recently wrapped up its run on Fox, but where can you stream old episodes of “Family Guy?” And where will new ones be streaming when the show returns in the fall? All your “Family Guy” questions answered below.

It’s always fun to watch Babish at work and yes, it’s always funny to see what new gags and jokes Family Guy managed to come up with to use against Meg Griffin since when it came to the Griffin family, she was the child that got left out in the cold a lot, sometimes literally. But if one really wanted to be honest, Meg had some good qualities, and lo and behold one of them was as a cook as she showed during one episode, which left the family speechless for a few moments. Even better is that when it

Seth MacFarlane and the “Family Guy” producers have created an educational PSA video encouraging people to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
In the three-minute video, Peter Griffin debates whether or not to get vaccinated at the doctor’s office, so Stewie and Brian Griffin explain the science behind the Covid vaccine, combining typical “Family Guy” humor and real educational facts.
Stewie and Brian shrink down microscopically to enter Peter’s body, where they explain how the vaccine combats the virus.
“Vaccines protect us from illnesses by activating our immune response without the danger of actual infection, thereby training the body to fight off the real thing. Some of the Covid vaccines work by exposing your immune system to proteins, which resemble the spike proteins of the virus but cannot infect you,” Stewie says, as anthropomorphic antibodies fight off spike proteins that look like Meg Griffin. He and Brian go on to...

Video Version of this Article Photo/Video: The Triplets of Belleville/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel Prior to the modern age of microphones and monologues, silent filmmakers pioneered the art form of Cinema with an emphasis on heightened body language and facial expression. Before the 1920s, it was common to depict an entire cosmos of emotional narrative from facial gestures and movement alone. As presented in the animation ‘The Triplets of Belleville’, little to no dialogue is actually needed to deeply move the audience or to illustrate a powerfully impactful story. While its premise is mostly comedic, within the film lies a tragic darkness--distilled only by the heroic gestures of righteousness, kindness, and love.

Video Version of this Article Photo/Video: 'Family Guy'/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel Sure, 'Family Guy' is not a show created to help intellectuals go deeper into their quest to ponder the meaning of life, but the butt jokes are pretty damn funny so we’ll forgive it. We’ll leave shows like Lost, Game of Thrones, and Sesame Street to teach us about human morals and the extent man will go to to achieve his goals (or the extent Cookie Monster will go to to achieve his cookies). Let’s sit back, relax, and lose one or two brain cells by watching a marathon of Family Guy. Family Guy is an old reliable for American television. If you had a tiring day and you want to just relax for 22 minutes and watch a family of people who have made more poor life choices than you,...

With a voice as deep as his pompadour was high, Conway Twitty scored 55 Number One country hits by 1990, with his biggest, “Hello Darlin’,” released 50 years ago on March 23rd, 1970. Its spoken introduction — delivered in a come-hither tone by Twitty — remains one of the most iconic opening lines in country music. Penned in 1960 by the Mississippi native born Harold Lloyd Jenkins, the song was relegated to the storage bin at the time because he had no outlets for his country material. But after signing to Decca Records’ country division by the end of the decade,...

“Family Guy” never has trouble making headlines, but an upcoming episode from Season 17 is bound to stir controversy when it depicts President Donald Trump crossing the line with Meg Griffin (voiced by Mila Kunis). Executive producer Alec Sulkin teased the special hourlong episode to Entertainment Weekly, saying, “We’re just playing to what Trump has already confessed to, say, on a bus.”
Sulkin’s tease suggests the series will show Trump being sexually inappropriate with Meg. The producer’s “bus” reference alludes to Trump’s infamous conversation with Billy Bush in which he said his “grab ’em by the pussy” line. The exact details of what happens between Trump and Meg are remaining under wraps for now. Speaking about Trump’s real-life bus incident, Sulkin said confirmed the show’s version of Trump will “have an encounter like that with Meg.”

Ever since Jaws caused moviegoers to be afraid of going back into the water in 1975, the concept of rampaging sharks has been in a staple in the horror, thriller and science fiction genres, often blurring the lines between them. And while the topic of today’s discussion isn’t nearly as over the top as the likes of Sharknado, Sharktopus and Ghost Shark, it sure has been generating its share of online buzz as of late.
