Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, also serves as a writer on the show, and voices many of the characters. The cast also includes That '70s Show star Mila Kunis, actor Seth Green, MADtv star Alex Borstein, and comedic actor Patrick Warburton.

Episodes
In keeping with the humorous tone of the series, most episode titles of Family Guy are parodies of popular television shows, movies, and mottos.

For the first half of the first season, the writers tried to work the words "murder" or "death" into the title of every episode (i.e., "Mind over Murder" and "Death has a Shadow"). On a DVD commentary, creator Seth McFarlane says that the writers stopped doing this when they realized they were beginning to get the titles confused.

The film
The first Family Guy film, due for release as a direct-to-video movie on 27 September 2005, focuses on Stewie seeing somebody he believes to be his real father and setting off on a road trip to find him. Originally three separate (though continuous) episodes as part of the fourth season, the DVD puts them together and includes additional materials. You can currently see a one minute scene from the movie here.
