About this listen
Family Guy and Philosophy brings together low-brow, potty-mouthed, cartoon humor and high-brow philosophical reflection to deliver an outrageously hilarious and clever exploration of one of TVs most unrelenting families. (Okay, its not that high-brow.)
A sharp, witty, and absurd exploration of one of television's most unrelenting families and one of the biggest-selling TV series ever on DVD, this audiobook:
- Tackles the perennial positions of Family Guy at the same time as contemplating poignant philosophical issues
- Takes an introspective look at what this show can teach us about ethics, ego, religion, death, and of course, time-travel
- Considers whether Family Guy is really a vehicle for conservative politics and whether we should be offended by the show, as well as diving into the philosophy of the cast

It’s also painfully obvious the narrator is no FG fan, which makes it even worse. He mispronounces names any FG fan would know, and when reading quotes from a scene, he just READS, with little to no voice inflection, which completely negates any humor in the lines he reads. In fact, it just sucks the fun out of what had the potential to be an interesting, and definitely more entertaining look at FG through a philosophical lens; ergo, the reason for my title of this review.
I really tried, but just couldn’t bring myself to sit through more than half of the book, Maybe - MAYBE - it could be salvaged with a different narrator, but we’ll never know.
I’m just glad it was free.
This Book is the Buzz Killington to “Family Guy”
