This animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Endearingly ignorant Peter and his stay-at-home wife, Lois, reside in Quahog, R.I., and have three kids. Meg, the eldest child, is a social outcast, and teenage Chris is awkward and clueless when it comes to the opposite sex. The youngest, Stewie, is a genius baby who is bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. Brian, the talking dog, keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own issues.

One of Brian's books becomes a bestseller after Stewie becomes his manager; Lois decides that she and Peter need separate beds, leaving him to look for a new cuddle buddy.

After getting the brush-off from Santa at the mall, Brian and Stewie travel to the North Pole to teach Santa a lesson.

After years of drinking, Peter needs a kidney transplant; Chris and Meg write a poem to honor an important visitor.

Lois is forced to defend her reputation after the new local news anchor (Christine Lakin) does a story on her.
