My favourite TV comedy is Family Guy. This is a cartoon sitcom made in America. The audience it appeals to is the adolescent to adult age group. The humour is satirical  and off beat. It is based around a seemingly normal family in an ordinary neighbourhood. Celebrities are featured and frequently referred to in a mocking way often relating to current events or affairs in the media. The series uses wit to raise political and social issues facing society and can be harsh and cutting. It has been criticised for being too 'blue' and offensive but I think the humour is clever in how it brings a variety of subjects to a wide audience.
