Family Guy is a cartoon show featuring the Griffin family airing
regularly on Fox. The Griffins live in a fictitious town in Rhode
Island called Quahog and are obviously meant to be a middle class
family dealing with issues associated with that class.
Family Guy poses as a typical sitcom in many respects. The show centers
on a nuclear family, a theme which is anything but original in the
sitcom genre. Many sitcoms have featured middle class families but
Family Guy is not another generic sitcom.
The cartoon is mean as a contemporary reaction to the media reality
presented in the 1950s to the 1980s. Sitcoms, especially in the
post-WWII era, idealized the middle class. The Griffins are very much
parodies of the "perfect" families seen in such shows as Leave it to
Beaver. As portrayed by the media, the middle class is supposed to be
the bedrock of American society, standing alone in holding the rest of
the country together.
The Griffins are far from being America's moral compass. Family Guys is
often criticized for using a crude, immature sense of humor. It is true
the writers employ bathroom humor and foul language in the 30 minute
episodes. What certain critics do not, however, realize is that this
kind of humor serves a purpose. The humor of the cartoon characters
dents the idea that all middle class families have impenetrable moral
values. This makes Family Guy not only watchable but also relatable.
The Griffins are over-exaggerations of middle class family life. This
portrayal of the family as uncouth, gross, etc is a way to make the
family more believable. Family Guy provides its audience with imperfect
characters because it is hard to live up to stands set by other media.
The coarse Peter Griffins telling an inappropriate story involving a
rat while eating dinner with the "upper crust" of society at a yacht
club, in the episode "Peter, Peter Caviar Eater" is a more likely
depictions of most families than June Cleaver vacuuming in her pearls.
The writers use this humor to attract desired demographic for
advertisers. Shows and networks need to attract viewers because the
ultimate reason for making television programming in America is to grab
hold of viewers' attention and then sell us goods, through
advertisements or product placement. Advertisers are especially
interested in capturing the attention of the eighteen to thirty-nine
year old male category. This demographic seems especially entertain by
the foul language and bathroom humor of Family Guy. Young males,
perhaps more than any other segment of the population, are believed to
think pooping, farting, burping, etc is funny. Young males are also
amused to see the traditional middle class family, meant to be
wholesome, use foul language and toilet humor not usually associated
with that class.
Bottom line is: television is meant to be entertainment. People watch
television to relax and unwind. After coming home from work, viewers
don't want to think about complex things. The slap-stick humor used in
Family Guy is anything but complex. Viewers are able to laugh at the
shows on a very juvenile level.
If you have never watched Family Guy, watch it! On a basic level it's
entertaining to watch Peter Griffin stumble through various awkward
social situations. On a higher level, the show provides witty
commentary on a wide range of contemporary issues-both social and
political.
If Family Guy is not your idea of entertainment and humor, don't watch
it. You can change the channel. No one is forcing you to watch the
show. But maybe you could think about taking a page from the show and
not taking yourself too seriously and enjoy a good childish laugh.
