People may be shy to turn on the television when it comes to late night Sunday comedy, but after watching the sitcom "Family Guy," many people will experience a new feeling of weird and random comedy. Most people believe that the comedy portrayed in "Family Guy" is both vulgar and unnecessary, as seen in commonsensemedia.org's review claiming that people should not "...expect consistent content from this show." However, I feel that the people criticizing this show have a one-track mind and do not appreciate the quirkiness and spontaneity of slapstick comedy.
The sitcom "Family Guy" features the wild adventures of the Griffin family, which include Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, a talking dog named Brian, and a sadistic baby named Stewie. "Family Guy" deals with the typical issues involved in everyday American family life to make the point that all families are not perfect. Each episode deals with the family trying to overcome the many, odd situations that they come across. This continuing storyline does not hinder their ability to remain interesting and entertaining because they often incorporate random scenes that relate to the analogies that the characters often use in their punch lines. My own experience with "Family Guy" yields a point that it strays away from the typical reoccurring plots and antics of other similar shows. What I take away from my own experience with this comedic sitcom is that the interactions between the characters on this show bring joy and laughter into the dullness of a day. In some ways, the situations that occur on the show are just an updated, funnier version of what happens to us in everyday life.
Therefore, to get away from the ordinary and to experience a new way of looking at the boring life, learn from the optimistic outlooks of the Griffin family. The more you watch the show, the better you will be able to find and create humor to spice up your own experiences.
