LatestAfter going on a date with a Cuban-American woman named Carmen, Brian inexplicably develops a Cuban accent- which he worries will hurt his chances with her.
Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show was cancelled twice (2000, 2002) before DVD sales and Adult Swim reruns resurrected it—making it the first series saved by home video cult status.
Family Guy's cutaway-heavy style directly influenced how TikTok and YouTube comedy would later pace content—Seth MacFarlane accidentally invented the attention economy.
