function text() { }; text = new text(); number = 0; // textArray text[number++] = "Stewie Griffin: Stewie is well-spoken, with an advanced vocabulary, an upper-class British accent and an ambiguous sexual orientation. He refers to Peter often as 'The Fat man'. Seth MacFarlane has described him as 'an evil Rex Harrison'. Stewie is constantly plotting ways to kill his mother, Lois, apparently holding a grudge against her because of his nine-month stay in her 'ovarian Bastille.' He shares his secrets with his confidant (who is also his teddy bear) Rupert. Stewie often speaks from the standpoint of a much older person, saying such things as 'What is it that you children are into nowadays?' Stewie creates an alter ego, Karina Smirnoff, to get on the American version of Jolly Farm Revue in Go, Stewie, Go!.

On the show, Stewie engages in extreme violent or criminal acts, including robbery, carjacking, loan sharking, forgery, and killing off many minor characters. The characters he kills off are for reasons such as anger, jealousy, and grudges he holds. Stewie's mastery of physics, mechanical engineering, and firearms are at a level of science fiction. He has constructed advanced fighter-jets, a mind control device, a weather control device, robots, a time machine, a shrinking pod, a teleportation device, and more. Stewie employs these to deal with the stresses of infant life (such as teething pain, and his hatred of broccoli) or to kill his mother. Stewie's ability to move objects of greater weight than himself is not surprising to other characters, nor is his ability to perform martial arts or retrieve firearms from hammerspace.

Stewie himself has exhibited some bisexual tendencies, but has thus far only been involved romantically with females. His hobbies include reading, inventing, and plotting.

It has been implied that Stewie, like his mother, has a masochistic personality. This was revealed in one episode when Lois spanked Stewie for destroying her pearl necklace. Stewie claimed to have enjoyed suffering from such pain, and unsuccessfully went out of his way to provoke Lois several times in the episode into spanking him again. He even had a day dream in which he was tortured by a dominatrix.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Peter Griffin: Peter Griffin is an obese Irish Catholic, blue collar worker with a prominent Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts accent. He was, however, born in Mexico, where his mother had tried unsuccessfully to abort him. He's the husband of Lois and the father of Meg, Chris and Stewie. After a mix up at a sperm bank, Peter also became the biological father of Bertram. Out of pity he also adopted an intellectual talking dog named Brian who formerly lived on the street as a stray (there are two stories of how Brian got to be adopted). Peter (primarily) worked as a safety inspector at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory, until his boss Jonathan Weed choked to death on a dinner roll; he then became a fisherman on his own boat, known as the 'S.S. More Powerful than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and The Incredible Hulk Put Together', with the help of two Portuguese immigrants, Santos and Pasqual (who for some reason have Carioca accents), until his boat was destroyed. He now works in the shipping department of the Pawtucket Patriot brewery. Peter is also shown in various jobs for single episodes and cutaway gags.

Family Guy uses a floating timeline in which the characters do not age much, so the show is always assumed to be set in the current year. However, several of the characters, such as Meg Griffin, have aged two to three years since the show's pilot episode, while others, such as Stewie and Brian, have remained the same age. In several episodes, events have been linked to specific times, although this timeline has been contradicted in subsequent episodes.

In a running gag, storylines are randomly interrupted by extremely long, unexpected fights between Peter and Ernie the Giant Chicken, an anthropomorphic chicken who serves as a rival to Peter. These battles parody the action film genre, with explosions, high-speed chases and immense devastation to the town of Quahog.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Meg Griffin: Meg is a disturbed and self-conscious teenage girl. Her self-consciousness causes her to desperately try to be part of the cool crowd, but this only results in her getting coldly rebuffed by Connie D'Amico, an insensitive, egotistical and irresponsible cheerleader. She is also usually at the bottom of the family's pecking order and the butt of Peter's jokes due to her homeliness, tendency toward social awkwardness and lack of popularity. Everyone in her family, especially Peter and Chris, make fun of her in every possible way they can. However, another student named Neil Goldman is attracted to her. She has been so self-conscious and insecure about herself that she has engaged in dangerous sexual behavior just for attention.

Meg typically wears a beanie-like hat and glasses. She also commonly wears a pink and white shirt, blue jeans and tan or white Birkenstock clogs. She is slightly shorter than her younger brother Chris. Meg is self-conscious about her appearance ('I'm so fat and gross.')

Meg desperately tries to be part of the cool crowd, but is usually coldly rebuffed. She is also usually the butt of Peter's jokes due to her homeliness and tendency towards social awkwardness. Because of her eagerness for acceptance, she has been recruited unknowingly into a suicidal religious cult, and, later, recruited, again unwittingly, into her school's Lesbian Alliance ('Brian Sings and Swings'). However, in some episodes, Meg is seen with a group of girls who are attending her slumber party and gossiping about boys. In later episodes, these girls are characterized as being highly unpopular and dateless, much like Meg, even saying that she was the only one of them who ever had a boyfriend (actually a decaying corpse she was 'dating').

Meg is so unpopular in high school that one student fires a nail gun into his own stomach twice (in shop class) in order to avoid a date with her, and another shoots his own brother to have an excuse not to go to a dance with her the following night. In another occasion, Meg and Lois are looking for new clothes for Meg, but with no luck. They hear about the Channel 5 News contest for people giving out makeovers after two people ended up pouring gasoline on themselves, lighting a match, catching fire, and then jumping out of a window. However, she is sought by nerd Neil Goldman.-Wiki Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Lois Griffin: Lois Griffin is the wife of Peter and is the mother of Meg, Chris and Stewie. Lois was born into the wealthy Pewterschmidt family from Newport, Rhode Island. Peter Griffin, her husband, was a towel boy at the family country club; Lois eventually fell in love with him, because of his low-class, easy-going manner, which she found more appealing than the stuffy, uptight suitors in her social circle. Lois was crowned Miss Teen Rhode Island, and wished to pursue a career in modeling. However her father thought that was beneath the dignity of the family. She attended Salve Regina University, which she revisits for a college reunion in the episode 'Partial Terms of Endearment'.

She teaches piano to supplement the family income, though she spends most of her time caring for her family, and has rarely been seen teaching piano in recent seasons. Chris, her first son and second child, was always overweight, even at birth, while her youngest son Stewie became intent on killing her, although she seems not to notice; on one occasion, when Lois noticed Stewie acting up, she assumed it to be a result of Stewie lacking fatherly attention from Peter. In a dream sequence, she finds Stewie's 'secret lab' while putting away clothes. She mentions that she smoked pot when she was pregnant with him, which could explain his obsession to kill Lois and his uncanny intelligence. Lois does not really mind her eldest child and only daughter, Meg, though she makes attempts in keeping with the apparent popular perception of Meg.

Lois has a younger sister, Carol, who has had nine husbands, at least eight of whom have left her, and had a boy by her eighth husband. Lois also has an older brother, Patrick, whom she discovers for the first time in 'The Fat Guy Strangler'. Lois took Patrick out of the asylum in which he was interned, refusing to believe that he was a serial killer until Brian confronted her with evidence. Lois discovers in the episode 'Family Goy' that her mother is a Holocaust survivor.-Wiki Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Chris Griffin: Chris Griffin is 15-years old, son and middle child of Peter and Lois Griffin, brother of Stewie and Meg Griffin. Though Chris is not the brightest one in the family, he is particularly coherent and makes good points when talking about movies. Chris deals with the problems that most pubescent boys face: acne, girls, and school. Chris has been known to feel self-conscious about himself, especially his weight. In fact, on the Volume 1 DVD Boxset and TV guides special Family Guy edition, it stated that Chris 'wouldn't hurt a fly, unless it landed on his hot dog' . Due to Chris' weight, he was referred to as an 'Elephant Child' when he was born. Chris is also willing to do something as drastic as to convert to Judaism in order to do better in school, specifically math. He once believed his low grades in mathematics were caused by himself when he tickled his brain by sticking an army man's rifle into his nose and (presumably) accidentally puncturing a lobe. Chris enjoys drawing and once almost managed to become a famous artist in New York, but failed.

Chris also has an apparent physical attraction to his mother, Lois, which was noted in the commentary of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, near the end of the movie Peter comments about 'The incest episode'. It is also seen in 'E. Peterbus Unum' (where he hands Meg a note that reads 'I think Mrs. Griffin is hot') and in 'Model Misbehavior' (where he says that he will masturbate to pictures of her). Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense; however in the episode 'Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High', Brian refers to Chris's class as intelligent before going to teach remedial English. While Chris' low intelligence level is often viewed as a heredity commonality with his father, it is mentioned in the episode 'Peter's Daughter', that it is due to Lois abusing alcohol and smoking while pregnant with Chris and 'chickening out half-way through' in an attempt to terminate the pregnancy clandestinely. Also, various storylines give him autistic savant talents, such as artistic ability, and detailed knowledge of film and TV actors. Both he and Peter have also demonstrated profiency in the use of American Sign Language. Occasionally he exhibits unexpected, uncharacteristic insights, such as when he gives Peter and Lois a detailed and articulate lecture on the effects and disadvantages of marijuana. He has also demonstrated an ability to quickly adapt to new cultural surroundings. For example, when the family moved to London, England in 'Patriot Games', Chris was the only member of the family who was able to quickly learn and speak cockney English.

Chris is usually depicted as naive to the point of blamelessness. However, when Peter and Lois were having a fist fight, Chris cheered for Peter, telling him to 'kick her ass!' Also, in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, when Lois and Peter are trying to make out, the children mistake it for a fight and Chris says 'I don't know what they're fighting about, but I think Dad's winning. Go Dad!'-Wiki Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Brian Griffin: Brian Griffin is an 8-year-old talking white Labrador who has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray. While he exhibits typical dog behaviors like eating and rolling around in trash as well as licking himself, leaving dead birds on the porch, intensely fearing the vacuum cleaner, sleeping at the foot of Peter's bed, barking uncontrollably at black people (he blames his father), and having a tough time standing up in the car, he also possesses various anthropomorphic qualities, such as the ability to speak intelligently, drive a car, and walk bipedally. He also has a particularly sharp wit. Peter is his best friend, despite Brian's vastly superior intelligence - on several occasions, Brian has had to explain Peter's inability to do various things, such as haggling over prices. In Brian Goes Back to College, it is revealed that Brian went to Brown University in Rhode Island, but did not graduate.

Brian has a cultured background; he loves opera and jazz (he is a fan of John Coltrane) speaks fluent French and Tagalog, and is competent in Spanish. He is also a member of Mensa. He loves to sing and can imitate a barbershop quartet without accompaniment. He is an avid writer, having once been invited to write for The New Yorker, although he was fired once the magazine learned he did not graduate from college. He has also written a novel, although has made little progress other than the title 'Faster Than the Speed of Love', and a synopsis similar to the film 'Iron Eagle' (for which Stewie and Lois mock him) and has since been brought up several times throughout the series. He is a smoker, an alcoholic and recovered cocaine addict. Brian discovered that his cocaine habit stemmed from his mother abandoning him for which he saw a therapist. He has also made references to either buying, being in possession of, or smoking marijuana in numerous episodes. In 420 he actually does a whole dance to the song 'Bag O' Weed. In 'It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One', it is revealed he has a Ziggy tattoo.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Cleveland Brown: Cleveland Brown was one of Peter Griffin's neighbors and friends as well as one of the few recurring black characters on the show. During his time on the show, he owned a delicatessen named 'Cleveland's Deli'. He was married to Loretta Brown early in the series, but they divorce in the Family Guy season 4 episode The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire after Peter and Brian catch her cheating with Glenn Quagmire.

Cleveland is usually depicted as exceedingly gentle, patient, and sweet and it is only on rare occasions that he has been known to lose his temper and resort to violence. However, Cleveland gets visibly annoyed with racist behavior. He often acts as the voice of caution when other characters hatch harebrained schemes. Cleveland's speech is slow, almost elongated. Various flashbacks give conflicting histories of his speech patterns. In the episode 'Death Lives' Peter met Cleveland in the 1970s and he (Cleveland) was skinnier (and obviously younger), sporting an Afro, but still spoke in the slow manner that he is known for. In the next season of the series a flashback depicts Cleveland as a fast-talking auctioneer when a totem pole being carried by movers falls over and knocks Cleveland on the head, resulting in a slower state of speech during the episode 'Blind Ambition'. Although in the premiere of his spin-off, it is revealed that Cleveland talked in a slow manner when he was in high school.

One of the running gags throughout the series is that Peter's shenanigans destroy the front wall of Cleveland's house, revealing him in the bathtub. He then exclaims: 'What the hell?! No, no, no, no, no, NO!' as the upstairs floor tilts and the tub crashes to the ground. In the pilot of his spin-off, this gag was the last straw that convinced Cleveland to leave Quahog. However, even several states away, the Griffins' antics are still seen to cause this event, such as when the debris from the missile that Brian, Stewie, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase destroy happens to fall right on Cleveland's new house in the episode 'Spies Reminiscent of Us' (Because of the unfamiliarity of the joke to the characters of The Cleveland Show, Cleveland's neighbor Tim the Bear appeared and said 'I don't get it'). In 'Brian's Got a Brand New Bag', Cleveland's old, and now unoccupied house is destroyed when Peter watches Roadhouse and beats up Brian, which results in a car crashing into the house, and the empty bathtub crashes to the ground. Afterward, Peter comments 'Oh, that's right. Cleveland moved.' In the Cleveland Show episode 'Gone With the Wind', the same running gag affects his former wife Loretta Brown and she winds up dead after breaking her neck on the ground.-Wiki Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Glen Quagmire: Glenn Quagmire is the sex-crazed pervert neighbor of the Griffins. Quagmire is a former ensign of the U.S. Navy, where he met Peter (although in Meet the Quagmires, they are both listed as the same age and attend the country club dance.). He currently works as an airline pilot. Quagmire is 5'8' inches tall, 61 years old (he makes himself look younger by consuming carrots) and currently resides at 29 Spooner Street, Quahog, Rhode Island.

Years ago, Quagmire used to go out with Cheryl Tiegs, whom he loved. Unfortunately, he lost her, and has tried to fill the hole she left by having sex with women. He has pictures of Lois in his house, including on the inside of his closet door. He was once arrested for peeping on Lois in the girls' bathroom. He was also briefly married to a maniac named Joan. She died after clutching onto Death's arm. Quagmire is currently a widower, although this is no problem for him, as he can now get it on with more girls, without having to worry about cheating.

In '420', Quagmire gets a new pet cat named James. Tragically, when Quagmire went to Vermont to buy a present for James, Peter, Cleveland, and Brian, go over to Quagmire's to shave James as a prank, which backfired when Peter accidentally stabs James. Peter reveals this when Quagmire offers an award for knowing where James is simply to take the award. He has a sister who gets beaten by her boyfriend and a deaf brother. He also has a son in Madrid, Spain ('Peter's Got Woods') despite claiming never to have had sex with a Spanish woman (however, it is possible he does not know the difference since he was with Tricia Takanawa when he made the claim) who greatly resembles Quagmire, but with a snappy mustache and a ponytail; he also seems to have several illegitimate children in Quahog, some of whom go to Martin Mull Elementary school ('Tales of a Third Grade Nothing').

Quagmire is often seen saying 'all right' while rocking his head back and forwards in an amusing way. Quagmire has been shown to be extremely affectionate with animals, specifically a cat he named James in '420.' Quagmire came across as obsessive about his new pet, making his friends sign a birthday card for his cat. Although Quagmire gets along very well with most people, it's revealed in 'Jerome Is the New Black' that he greatly dislikes Brian. Ironically, Quagmire has hit on Lois as well, but claims to be honest about dating women for their bodies. The conflict between between him and Brian continues in 'Quagmire's Dad' when Quagmire beats up Brian for dating his sex-changed father. Brian gets the last word, however, when he says to Quagmire, 'I f**ked your dad.'-Wiki Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Joe Swanson: This paraplegic cop is the fourth member of the group of buddies (along with Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire) who lives on Spooner Street. He met Peter when, after just moving into Quahog, the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory needed a final member for their company baseball team. Peter knew that Joe had won many awards for playing baseball in the past; he did not know that Joe was paralyzed below the waist. However, as he does most of the time, Joe proved that this wasn't enough to stop him and he led the team to victory. He lives at 33 Spooner Street with his wife, Bonnie and newborn daughter Susie.

Joe received his paralyzing injury one year at Christmas time. He was investigating a robbery at an orphanage (the perp turned out to be The Grinch) and slid off the roof on a roller skate, injuring his spine and leaving him unable to walk. He regained movement of his legs for a brief time, but his son, Kevin, accidentally ran into him, re-paralyzing him. In another episode, 'Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air,' he can walk again again. However, everyone starts losing faith in Joe, and he paralyzes himself. However, his handicap (though he wouldn't call it that) doesn't prevent him from serving on the police force or choreographing local musicals.

Joe seems to have severe anger issues which often manifest in explosively violent outburst at random times throughout the show. A few notable examples of this are beating his son Kevin in a blind rage to the point Kevin had to live with a foster family, and shooting the left overs of his 16oz steak (then turning the gun on his friends) after being mocked for not being able to finish it. These outburst seem to stem from Joe's inability to cope with being handicapped and being mocked with the situations that stem from being so.

Joe is arguably the best hand to hand fighter in the entire show. Despite his condition, it has been seen on numerous occasions that he is able to completely overwhelm other characters who are accomplished fighters in their own right such as Lois Griffin (A Black Belt) and Peter (known for large violent battles with Ernie The Giant Chicken). Joe has also shown the ability to easily take on multiple enemies at once such as his encounter a large number of armed midgets in The Thin White Line and Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland in Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air. In the episode Da Boom it is shown that despite the lower part of his body being melted into his driveway, Joe is perfectly able to fight and defeat a giant mutated rat. He is the only person on Spooner Street who actually pays for his cable.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Bonnie Swanson: Bonnie Swanson is the wife of Griffin neighbor Joe Swanson's. Bonnie remained pregnant for nearly the entirety of the series until giving birth to daughter Susie in the episode Ocean's Three and a Half. Peter once commented on her pregnancy, stating that she'd 'been pregnant for like six freakin' years'. Bonnie is much calmer than her husband Joe but usually fails in her attempts to quell his outbursts. She once said 'I can't say no to Joe... ever'. This changes once when Joe gets new legs, becomes a jerk and leaves Bonnie. She then tries to shoot him in the back, crippling him, but misses several times, which then reduces Joe to shooting himself. She is played by Valerie Bertinelli in the movie Rolling Courage: The Joe Swanson Story in the episode Ready, Willing, and Disabled. In the DVD movie Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, taking place 30 years after the Family Guy series timeline, she leaves her legs to Joe when she dies. Bonnie and Joe previously had a son, Kevin, who died in Iraq.

She has black hair (brown hair in her debut episode) , light olive skin and wears a purple dress. In some of her dialogue, she sounds as if she is of a Hispanic background.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Herbert: Herbert is an elderly pedohebephile who likes boys and lives on Spooner Street with his old, crippled dog, Jesse. He has a high-pitched, very soft, effeminate voice and with a slight whistle lisp. He is often seen wearing a light blue robe and slippers and uses a zimmer-frame walker to get around. He is a retired United States Army veteran. He becomes fixated on Chris in To Love and Die in Dixie when Chris took up a paper route and developed an unhealthy obsession with him. When the family returned from the South, he left 113 messages asking what had happened to the paper boy. Herbert frequently seems to make inappropriate, sexually-tinged comments to teenage boys. It is revealed later on that he is the eldest member of the Skull and Bones secret society. He is seen in the episode 'You May Now Kiss the...Uh...Guy Who Receives', as being against gay rights and marriage by saying 'Get of my property, you pervert.' to Brian when Brian knocks on his door and asks him to sign a petition to legalize gay marriage. He is shown to be Roman Catholic and goes to the same church as the Griffins in the episode 'Boys Do Cry'.

Herbert is a retired United States Army veteran. He is seen in the Episode 'Padre de Familia' at a Veteran's Day festival in Quahog Park in his dress uniform singing the song 'God Bless the USA'.

Herbert first appeared in two episodes of the third season and was originally intended as a small time gag (as a lot of other previous characters before him), but due to high acclaim from fans, featured more regularly and was greatly expanded on in the fourth season. Herbert's personal life is somewhat expanded on in the episode 'The Courtship of Stewie's Father,' which included a subplot where Chris is told to do chores for Herbert after accidentally breaking his window with a baseball. While most of Herbert's past remains unknown, such as whether he has a family, some light is possibly shed on his personal history when - while he and Chris dine at a fancy restaurant - he sings the song 'Somewhere That's Green' (from the musical Little Shop of Horrors). Herbert's interpretation of the song can be seen as that of a lonely old man who, aware that he is nearing the end of his life, sees Chris as his one final opportunity for companionship. However, Herbert's true motives - a sympathy seeker or someone who truly is lonely and desires companionship - are placed in question with the final tag scene, where he becomes overjoyed when he begins watching a televised youth sporting event. Indeed, because of censorship issues related to this episode - Fox demanded the removal of several gags in which Herbert tries to make his move but Chris unknowingly outwits him - the end product that aired appeared to show Chris' accompanying Herbert to the restaurant as simply an act of kindness.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Kevin Swanson: Kevin was the son of Joe and Bonnie. He was voiced by Jon Cryer in A Hero Sits Next Door and Seth MacFarlane in other episodes. He was thought to be around 17, though his age is never revealed in the show; he's assumed to be around the same age as Meg. Though Joe was raising Kevin to be his vision of an ideal son, Kevin rebelled with his taste in music. Joe states in the episode And the Wiener is... that the first time Kevin beat him at a competition he gave him a 'small congratulatory punch' followed by a few more and 'then everything got a little hazy and Kevin had to go and live with a foster family for a while.' Kevin was also in the episode Fifteen Minutes of Shame where it is seen that he works at the Quahog Mini-Mart where Peter sees him and Meg is embarrassed because he might not like her now because he saw Peter naked. He is also seen in Ready, Willing, and Disabled where he can be seen do a charity car wash with Brian. Kevin has appeared in other episodes but in pictures like in 'Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air' where there's picture of him as a little boy, or in Love Thy Trophy where Peter is trying to find the trophy. Meg had a crush on Kevin, he seemed to be able to stand being around her unlike most characters on the show. He's also mentioned in Stuck Together, Torn Apart where Lois reads Meg's diary and talks about Kevin. He's also in the episode PTV where he is seen in The Freakin' FCC where it goes back to all the Family Guy episodes such as Fifteen Minutes of Shame and it shows Kevin opening a door and finding Peter naked.

When Kevin was first introduced, Chris makes the off-hand comment that Kevin was clearly gay to Meg, who was staring avidly at him from the kitchen window. Whether or not Chris' comment was done simply to aggravate Meg (who told him to shut up) or a genuinely true observation, it was never revealed.

They have dated previously although every time they get time together, something usually happens to interrupt them, he did not have a speaking appearance since season 3 and seemed to have been mainly removed from the show aside from cameos in The Perfect Castaway and Peter's Two Dads. Kevin usually wore a red or gray top.

The episode Stew-Roids was his last mention, as when Peter asked what happened to Kevin, Joe coldly replied he died in Iraq. Seth MacFarlane reported that Kevin was killed off because there was nothing special about him in the series. -Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Loretta Brown: Loretta Brown was Cleveland's ex-wife and mother of Cleveland Brown, Jr., whom had an affair with Quagmire. She had a passion for acting, literature, cricket and romance.

She cheated on Cleveland with Quagmire because Cleveland's emotionless personality did not provide her the 'passion' she desired. After Cleveland found out, they split up. However, they still have feelings for each other in Love, Blactually. To get revenge on Cleveland for taking Brian's girlfriend away, Brian and Stewie lie to her, saying that Cleveland wants her back. She returns, much to the displeasure of Lois and Peter, who do not want Cleveland to take her back. Peter persuades Quagmire to have sex with her, but she angrily declines, saying she has changed and still loves Cleveland. However, although he loves her, he says that their relationship was a thing of the past, and he wants her to live her life, after which Loretta sheds a tear.

Loretta's death occurred when she was killed when Peter accidentally dropped a brontosaurus skeleton onto her house in a parody of the running gag where Peter causes Cleveland's house to be destroyed and him falling onto the lawn in the bath tub, but only this time she fell out of the tub and broke her neck. Cleveland's new wife Donna, claims that Peter told her that Loretta had also slept with Mayor Adam West, Ollie Williams, Frank Sinatra, Jr., and the Greased-up Deaf Guy.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Diane Simmons: Diane Simmons (nee Seidelman) is Tom Tucker's co-anchor on Quahog 5 News. Although when the series started she and Tom seemed to have a healthy and at times possibly sexual relationship, that quickly changed to where they instead bicker a lot on the air, and she soon became the butt of his jokes. She also hosts a talk show called Diane.

It is unknown whether she is married now, but she did have a husband, before he 'blew his brains out', as commented once by Tom on the air, causing her to break down crying. She admits to being a bit of a bigot, such as once openly saying on the air that she is racist against black people. During the Special People's games, she and Tom commented together how watching the game would give them all a sick sort of laugh, and how all of them were most likely going to hell for it ('I'll see you there Diane', was Tom's retort).

It was revealed that Diane's real last name is in fact Seidelman. Simmons is also a dedicated actress having done some pretentious student films in college. At one point she was set to play the role of Anna in 'The King and I' (having stolen the role from Loretta Brown), during Lois Griffin's first theatrical production. Unfortunately, Peter who stole control of the show from Lois as Producer, later changed the script so massively much that even Diane couldn't stand the direction the show was taking and quit. Peter took over the role-personally, turning Anna from a British female school teacher, into a male, cybernetic assassin from the future.

In I Never Met the Dead Man, Diane reveals she hates Black People.
In Da Boom, Diane and Tom eat reporter Tricia Takanawa.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Tricia Takanawa: Tricia Takanawa is a reporter for Quahog 5 News. She gets all of the coverage out of the studio. In 'Da Boom' she is eaten by Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons, however the episode is considered non-canon since it featured the world being destroyed by nuclear weapons from Y2K. Her ethnicity is Japanese, and she is based off of an on-the-scene reporter (played by Alex Borstein) from a news segment sketch on Mad TV, although her speech pattern is also reminiscent of Larraine Newman's super-serious reporter at the Blaine Hotel from Season One of Saturday Night Live. Tricia is usually at the scene of some unenviable news broadcasts, such as a hurricane (where she is knocked down by a flying car), the height of a flu epidemic (in which she vomits, while hung over the toilet, during the actual news report), interviewing a Renaissance Jester, and a guy who rides his ten speed in the heavy rain. Tricia also interviews the criminal who wants to kill Chris Griffin while he is escaping the prison, and doesn't try to do anything to stop him. Tricia is the most prominent Asian character on Family Guy.

She has been known to have a major obsession with 80s alternative singer David Bowie. When she meets him in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, she loses all control, and tells him, in a completely different voice then she usually has, 'Oh! Make love to me Ziggy Stardust! I take you home! I make you fish ball soup! FISH BALL!' She then begins to dry hump his leg, to which Tom Tucker replies 'Thank you Tricia, for setting your people back a thousand years.' Tricia has also been seen giving a makeover to Meg, and dancing in the musical number Peter is Slow, and she once did a three part story where she ended up having sex with Quagmire, who ironically thought she was a 'Spanish Chick'. She appears on the Family Guy Vol. 3 boxset cover.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Tom Tucker: Tom Tucker is the anchorman for Quahog 5 News. He's a quite narcissistic, handsome, moustachioed man who recaps news in pleasing baritone. In Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story it is revealed that his moustache is fake, but this is not confirmed as the Griffin family actually acted out the film. Tom is not one to be politically correct, nor does he take into account the feelings of anyone, including broadcast partner Diane Simmons. He was married to Stacy Tucker, whom he was divorced from in Mother Tucker, and is the father of Jake Tucker, whose face is upside-down. He often uses hookers and he once had a dead one, whom Peter ran over. He becomes Peter's step dad in the episode Mother Tucker, and they became very close. Meg developed a crush on him in one episode.


Ollie Williams: Ollie Williams is the weatherman with the BlaccuWeather forecast and the sports correspondent for Channel 5 Action News. His appearances are brief as each appearance on screen lasts for perhaps one second, and features a short phrase that is yelled very quickly. The first time he doesn't yell is when he is high on pot in 420, where he speaks calmly. He looks very similar to, and is perhaps a parody of, Al Roker. Like fellow Quahog Channel 5 News member Asian Reporter Tricia Takanawa, he is a parody of racial tokenism within television news.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Death: Death is none other than the Grim Reaper, and is a recurring character on Family Guy. When people die, he comes to collect them. He is a mama's boy who lives with his mother and finds it hard to interact with women, likly because during his teen years he is shown to have a habit of killing girls while with them. He has asthma, hates the fact that he is dead and that he has no buttocks ('I am minus an ass'). He has also stated that he has lost his gag reflex due to taking part in films he is not proud of, as is evident when he eats a turkey leg off the bone in less than 3 seconds. Death is only responsible for people; when dogs die, it's up to Death's Dog.

Death is an extremely annoying person to be around, he is blunt, rude and ungrateful. In his first appearance he repeatedly annoys Lois despite her attempts to make him feel better. However this aspect of him may be attributed to peoples own attitude towards him, he says that he is tired of always being labeled the bad guy just for doing a job that has to be done.

Death has met the Griffins several times, usually having interactions with Peter.On one occasion, in Death Is a Bitch, Death suffers a sprained ankle while trying to chase Peter, and has to rest up at the Griffins'. Concerned that people must not learn that the rules of death have been suspended, Death sends Peter to do his work, lending Peter his cloak and scythe. In the meantime, Death stays in the living room wearing a Providence College sweatsuit loaned to him by the Griffins

During Death Lives, Peter helps Death to get a date with Amy, an assistant in a pet store. When they finally get together over a coffee, Death discovers that her views on animals are irritating and boring, so he touches her with the usual results (she falls dead, spilling her coffee, as he calls for the check). Death in return helped Peter out with his relationship with Lois, as he also did in Meet the Quagmires, where he allows Peter to travel back in time to 1984 repeatedly to try and save his marriage with Lois. Death has only showed his face (which is actually a skull, with snakes where his hair ought to be) twice.

In Family Guy Viewer Mail a young Quagmire, in an argument with the young Peter over who was braver, bets Peter is too chicken to laugh Death in the face. Peter does this with extreme confidence, and Death, who is wearing a pro-smoking T-shirt, responds by saying 'Oh. Thanks. Like I don't have enough trouble fitting in'.-Wikia Character Bio-" text[number++] = "Evil Monkey: The Evil Monkey is a resident of the Griffin household who lived in Chris's bedroom closet. He regularly tormented Chris, which had become a running-gag in the series. In a reference to childhood fears of 'Monsters in the closet' (cf 'Monsters Inc'), the evil monkey lives in Chris's closet. As his name suggests, he is filled with malice towards all, particularly Chris. Chris is the only member of the Griffin family who is aware of the presence of the monkey in the house, the others (except Stewie) laughing at the notion that Chris has a monkey in his closet. The monkey was first seen in episode Dammit Janet!

Until Chris captured him and showed the Griffin family in Hannah Banana, the evil monkey had been seen by only six characters other than Chris throughout the entire series: the Evil Monkey's wife, the monkey she was sleeping with, Chris' pimple, Brian's son Dylan, and Peter Griffin (although mistaking him for Meg) and Herbert slept through his encounter.

The evil monkey has been seen crying upon hearing that Chris had left his parental home, apparently loving his duty to scare Chris whenever possible. He was accompanied by a human female on the red carpet to see Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story and pulled off his trademark pose on request. The pose was also used in the episode Road to Germany when Stewie and Hitler were copying the mirror scene from Marx Brothers. Chris once sung a song about him, titled Evil Monkey Song', with his heavy metal band. In the episode Model Misbehavior, the evil monkey is shown relaxing after the Griffin's departure by smoking a joint and listening to Foghat on vinyl through headphones on Chris' bed. He once tried to scare Chris, only to find he wasn't there, just Herbert who was asleep. The Monkey then slowly closed the closet door. In The Former Life of Brian he is beaten up by Brian's son Dylan, allowing Chris finally to have access to his closet - where he discovers a very large quantity of feces, in a deleted scene at the end of the same episode, when Dylan leaves the Griffin home into a taxi with his mother, he realizes that the driver is the evil monkey, then monkey does his finger position towards Dylan. The Evil Monkey was most recently seen briefly in 420 during the 'A Bag of Weed' musical, emerging from a portable toilet with a joint.-Wikia Character Bio-" increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); document.write(text[increment]);
