Mom... Mom... Mom...


On the list of 10 Worst TV Role Models of 2012 the TV show "Family Guy" should be added on the list.

It should be added because of the actions of the characters.

Stewie Griffin is one years old, and the son of Peter and Lois Griffin. Stewie uses profanity in almost every sentence. That is not a thing that a baby should be saying. Stewie also hates his mother! He is a baby that is obsessed with violence. Would you want anyone, child, teenager, adult to be obsessed with violence?  To use inappropriate language?  That isn't being a good role model, thats teaching people bad language and hatred although it may be funny and amusing. 

Peter Griffin has three children. He also uses inappropriate language. He is over weight. That shows people that it is "okay" to be over weight when it really is not "okay". Peter also gets drunk very often, with his friends( ClevelandJoe and Quagmire). Mr. Griffin takes an I.Q test and it shows Peter how "low" his intelligence is. That is not something that should be shown on Tv, it is a very bad example to show on Tv. Especially for the kids that watch the show. Yes, some kids what this show because their irresponsible parents allow them to. If someone sees that Peter realizes that he isn't very intelligent, and this person doesn't do well in school, they might begin to think the same way. This may lower their self esteem. Peter Griffin is a terrible role model for anyone no matter the age.

The family pet to the Griffin's is Brian. Brian is a dog, he drinks, and he dates women. Having a dog, not a real human being, drink and date in a show? Absurd! Even though it is just a show dogs should stick to doing "dogly" things. Not things that humans do.

In conclusion "Family Guy" is not a show that has characters that set a good example for people to follow. It doesn't help you develop in anyway, if anything you get dumber by watching this show! So it should be added It 10 Worst TV Role Models of 2012.

  1. Well argued. Family Guy seems innocent, but when you break it down, there are actually quite a few terrible things!
