a fictionalized version of himself
who is the main protagonist and focuses on his personal life with three of his friends –
George Costanza
(
Jason Alexander
), former girlfriend
Elaine Benes
(
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
), and neighbor across the hall
Cosmo Kramer
(

Seinfeld
is set mostly in an apartment building in
Manhattan
's
Upper West Side
in
New York City

minutiae of daily life
.
[1]
As a comedian rising in popularity in the late 1980s, Seinfeld was presented with an opportunity to create a show with NBC. Seinfeld asked David, a fellow comedian and friend, to help create a premise for a sitcom.
[2]

Stewart Gilligan Griffin
[1]
is a fictional character from the animated television series
Family Guy
. He is voiced by series creator
Seth MacFarlane
and first appeared on television, along with the rest of the
Griffin family
, in a 15-minute
short
on December 20, 1998. Stewie was created and designed by MacFarlane himself, who was asked to pitch a pilot to the
Fox Broadcasting Company
, based on
The Life of Larry
and
Larry & Steve
, two
shorts
made by MacFarlane featuring a middle-aged man named Larry and an intellectual dog, Steve. After the pilot was given the greenlight, the Griffin family appeared in the episode "
Death Has a Shadow
".
A highly
precocious
toddler
who talks and acts as an
adult
, Stewie began the series as a
Megalomaniacal
sociopath
, initially obsessed with violence,
matricide
and
world domination
. He is the youngest child of
Peter
and
Lois Griffin
, and the youngest brother of
Meg
and
Chris
. Over the duration of the series, particularly following the two episode arc "
Stewie Kills Lois
" and "
Lois Kills Stewie
", the violent aspects of Stewie's personality were toned down, and he has evolved into an eccentric, friendly and flamboyant scamp (something possibly foreshadowed in the
direct-to-video
film
Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
). He has also come to have a very close friendship with the family's
anthropomorphic
dog,
Brian
(whom he originally used to antagonize in the earliest episodes). Stewie is considered to be the show's
breakout character
and has received numerous award accommodations from writers such as Jodiss Pierre.
[2]
Stewie is also the only character to appear in every episode of the series.

Family Guy
is an American
animated sitcom
created by
Seth MacFarlane
for the
Fox Broadcasting Company
that premiered on January 31, 1999. The series is produced by
Fuzzy Door Productions
and
20th Television
.
[4]
The series centers on the
Griffins
, a family consisting of parents
Peter
and
Lois
; their children,
Meg
,
Chris
, and
Stewie
; and their
anthropomorphic
pet dog
,
Brian
. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog,
Rhode Island
, and exhibits much of its surreal and
dark humor
in the form of
metafictional
cutaway gags
that often lampoon
American culture
.
The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing two animated films,
The Life of Larry
and
Larry & Steve
. MacFarlane redesigned the films' protagonist, Larry, and his dog, Steve, and renamed them Peter and Brian, respectively. MacFarlane pitched a seven-minute pilot to Fox in 1998, and the show was greenlit and began production.
Family Guy'
s cancellation was announced shortly after the
third season
had aired in 2002, with
one unaired episode
eventually premiering on
Adult Swim
in 2003, finishing the series' original run. Favorable DVD sales and high
ratings
from syndicated reruns since then convinced Fox to revive the show in 2004; a
fourth season
would begin airing the following year on May 1, 2005.
Since its premiere,
Family Guy
has been widely acclaimed. The series has been nominated for 12
Primetime Emmy Awards
and 11
Annie Awards
, and has won three of each. In 2009, it was nominated for a
Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series
, the first time an animated series was nominated for the award since
The Flintstones
in 1961. In 2013,
TV Guide
ranked
Family Guy
the ninth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time.
[5]
The series has also attracted
criticism and controversy
for its offensive content, violence, and writing.
Many
tie-in
media have been released, including
Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
, a
straight-to-DVD
special released in 2005;
Family Guy: Live in Vegas
, a soundtrack-DVD combo released in 2005, featuring music from the show as well as original music created by MacFarlane and
Walter Murphy
; a
video game
and
pinball machine
, released in 2006 and 2007, respectively; since 2005, six books published by
Harper Adult
; and
Laugh It Up, Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy
(2010), a collection of three episodes parodying the
original
Star Wars
trilogy
. A
spin-off
series,
The Cleveland Show
, featuring
Cleveland Brown
, aired from September 27, 2009, to May 19, 2013.
As of 2021,
362 episodes
of
Family Guy
have been broadcast. On May 11, 2020, Fox renewed the series for a nineteenth season.

On September 23, 2020, Fox announced that the show would continue through a twenty-first season.
