It\u2019s satire. As long as it remains relevant and current and creative, it [will] continue to go and to move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warburton did admit, however, that the show \u201ccould be incredibly polarizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamily Guy\u201d premiered in 1999 and follows the exploits of the Griffin family in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island. The dysfunctional family consists of Peter, the bumbling idiot of a patriarch, Lois, the straight-laced mother who comes from money, Chris, the eldest son and perhaps more incompetent than Peter, Meg, the daughter that nobody likes, Stewie, a villainous toddler, and Brian, the anthropomorphic family dog.<\/p>\n<p>The show is a raunchier, zanier take of \u201cThe Simpsons,\u201d with inane reoccurring gags like Peter Griffin getting into protracted, bloody fisticuffs with a giant chicken.<\/p>\n<p>The Fox show has been renewed for its 22nd and 23rd seasons, which will keep \u201cFamily Guy\u201d \u2014 and Warburton\u2019s Swanson \u2014 on the air through the 2024-2025 television season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-info-44778\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/bchai\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<div>\n<p><label for=\"summary-tab-radio-44778\">Summary<\/label><label for=\"more-info-tab-radio-44778\">More<span> Biographical Information<\/span><\/label><label for=\"posts-tab-radio-44778\">Recent<span> Posts<\/span><\/label><label for=\"contact-tab-radio-44778\" onclick=\"if( typeof grecaptcha=='undefined' ) { let cap_s=document.createElement( 'script' ); cap_s.src='https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js?render=6LeJFcsUAAAAAPsIEqvB1EebWbZfqRUe6ebMpGy7'; document.body.appendChild( cap_s ); }\">Contact<\/label><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Bryan Chai has written news and sports for The Western Journal for more than five years and has produced more than 1,300 stories.
