Family Guy: It takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One

This book has the title of a Family Guy episode which premiered the same week as publication, so I thought it would be a written version of the show. Instead, it is all-new material, presented by Lois Griffin about her term as Mayor of Quahog. Each member of the Griffin family, and all the major cast members of the show, also have their say. It is all very funny and mostly adult humor. This is not a children's book !! The humor is similar to the "Family Guy Live in Vegas" music CD (2005) and more explicit then Alex Borstein's recent DVD 'Drop-Dead Gorgeous in a Down-to-Earth Bombshell Sort of Way'. Both Lois and Meg feel they disappointed their fathers by not being born boys, Mayor West contributes a recipe,Chris designs T-shirts, and Peter lists his top ten TV shows. The least explicit humor is,oddly,from Quagmire ! The extensive artwork in the book exactly matches the show, with a little drop-shadow to make the figures appear to jump off the page. I recommend this book to all fans of Family Guy, or the marvelous Alex Borstein, but you might want to keep it away from the kids !!

funny

Everyone wanted a turn to read this book. EVERYONE in the house read it and even a few neighbors. VERY FUNNY in a romantic way.

Granddaughter loved it

I found it to be witty and entertaining. Cherry's influence is obvious. There are some serious moments amidst the generally zany telling of the story. Quite a commentary on the shape of modern American Culture.
