Family Guy wasn't really a "family show" anyway

It didn't surprise me that a game focused on the tv show "Family Guy" wasn't rated to be a family game. Realistically the tv show isn't one I would have let younger children watch anyway. While it's not as adult as Southpark can be at times it's definitely not recommended for all age groups anyway.

I mean seriously...given this is one of the reviews:

Sick, twisted, politcially incorrect and freakin' sweet, the animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. Their talking dog Brian keeps baby Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

According to Parents Tv org:

The Family Guy is rated red for sex. Although the show is intended to be a satire of the American family, it depends heavily on oblique sexual innuendo and sexual themes. In the season premiere, Peter accused his proctologist of raping him after the doctor probed his anus. In another episode, a topless girl competes in a game show where she must catch hot dogs in her mouth to win money for breast implants. Characters are shown post-coital in bed and prostitution jokes are extremely frequent. Cartoon nudity is also very common. Fantasy violence is common and at times quite graphic. A recent episode featured a stunt pilot exiting his plane and immediately being stabbed in the stomach, dying. Another depicted Lois dreaming about shoving a screaming Stewie into a revolving washing machine. This series is rated yellow for language. Common offensive language in this series includes “bitch,” “damn,” “hell,” and “ass.”

Even though this is an animated series, this show is not recommended for children of any age.


I'd comment on why parents would let their child even watch this show but then I realize there are too many who don't monitor what is being watched that could be misled by the title.
