Upon the 25th anniversary of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane details the show’s legacy and popularity. Family Guy began airing in 1999 and has since had over 400 episodes across 22 seasons. MacFarlane provides his vocal talents to the lead character of Peter Griffin alongside a number of other side characters.
Speaking with TheWrap, MacFarlane offers his reflection on Family Guy as the series turns 25. Check out the quotes from MacFarlane below:
“It’s still surviving and thriving. It still has a sizable audience and is a perfect example of there being an appetite for something. So we continue to feed the beast. There’s no indication that the show is going to end anytime soon.”
“I think the goal of the show is just to make people laugh… It delves into social allegory and politics now and then without question, as a good primetime animated show should, but that’s always secondary. It’s a room full of comedy writers who just want to f—g laugh… That’s the mission statement of the show and it doesn’t ever really try to position itself with any pomposity as anything more than that, which I think in this instance is probably a good thing.”
More to come…
