For a quarter of a century, the humble middle-class Griffin family of Quahog, Connecticut, has amused primetime and streaming audiences with their bizarre antics, which have included bizarre flashbacks and cut scenes, arbitrary pop culture references, random acts of violence, psychological torture, and, every now and then, the occasional hint of matricide. Just for fun.

And for a quarter of a century, audiences have kept Family Guy a part of their Sunday night tradition. Well, mostly. Unless they have plans. Then, thanks to streaming, the Griffins become part of Sunday afternoons, or Monday evenings, or a massive binge-watch much later when there is simply nothing else to do.
