Family Guy is a liberal-themed cartoon folks.. sorry Conservapedia this one ain't yours for the taking
'''Family Guy''' is an animated television program created by Seth MacFarlane. It contains adult themes, and is not appropriate for younger audiences. It details the life of "the Griffins," a fictitious family who live in Quahog, [[Rhode Island]]. It has similarities to [[The Simpsons]] which have been referenced and parodied on both shows.
== Criticism ==
Due to its adult content, the Parents' Television Council has named it one of the worst programs on television.<ref>[http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/reports/top10bestandworst/main.asp Parents' Television Council]</ref>
The show also has pervasive liberal themes. It also often takes demeaning treatment of [[creationists]].<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/us/newsletters/0107lead.asp Answers in Genesis]</ref>
The comedy aspect of Family Guy's writing has been criticized by the writers of South Park. One two-part [[South Park]] episode called Family Guy's jokes "irrelevant to the plot." The episode also showed Family Guy's writers as [[manatee]]s who would put balls containing random ideas into a machine.
