Family Guy takes place in a fictional town named Quahog in Rhode Island, U.S.
Family Guy is an animated show that is broadcast on FOX. Seth MacFarlane made the show, and it first came out in 1999 after Super Bowl XXXIII. The show's early episodes, the Larry shorts, got much attention, with 22 million viewers. After that, the regular season started in April and went on until mid-May, with a total of seven episodes that introduced the main characters.
The second season began on September 23, 1999, but it had a tough time competing with other shows. After just two episodes, Family Guy was taken off the regular schedule. However, it came back in March 2000 to finish the second season, which had a total of 21 episodes.
In 2003, Family Guy started airing in Canada on the Teletoon network, where it became really popular. A few months later, the show found a permanent spot on Cartoon Network's late-night Adult Swim block.
What is Quahog on Family Guy?
Quahog is a fictional city in Rhode Island, USA. It's the main place where the Family Guy cartoon takes place. The Griffin family, the Browns, the Swansons, and Glenn Quagmire all live on Spooner Street. Specifically, the Griffin family stays at 31 Spooner Street.

What is Family Guy about?
The show mainly follows the adventures of Peter Griffin, a well-meaning but clumsy guy working in a regular job. Peter is an Irish-American Catholic with a noticeable Rhode Island / Eastern Massachusetts accent. His wife, Lois, usually stays at home and teaches piano. She has a unique New England accent because she comes from the wealthy Pewterschmidt family.
Peter and Lois have three kids: Meg, their teenage daughter who often becomes the target of Peter's jokes due to her looks and lack of popularity; Chris, their teenage son who is overweight and not very bright, kind of like a younger version of his dad; and Stewie, a scheming baby who acts like an adult, speaks with what some think is a fancy English accent, and uses phrases you'd expect from a classic villain.
The family also includes Brian, their dog, who acts very human-like. He walks on two legs, drinks martinis, smokes cigarettes, and can talk like a person. Even though Brian does all these human things, he's still seen as a pet in many ways.
