Numerous uncited statements, an orange banner with "more citations needed" above the video game section, short & stubby paragraphs and much of the information needs to be updated. Z1720 (talk) 14:57, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect logo

Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The logo used for the Family Guy Wikipedia page is missing the television above the "i" in "Family Guy". The official logo always have the TV included ~2025-42393-22 (talk) 10:37, 22 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Please note the image caption, apparently removing the TV makes it legally distinct enough to be allowed on wikimedia commons. ~2026-10074-99 (talk) 01:37, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Franchise section

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The franchise section of this article contains too much, and should possibly just be a few lines denoting the show branching out into other media, and merge the rest of it into Family Guy (franchise) Emcgonigle (talk) 03:34, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
