Swanson Family Cleveland Glenn Family Quagmire Cutaway Gags
The show exhibits most of its
humor in the form of metaphorical cutaway gags. These often reference recent important events or American culture. They are usually used to switch between the various stories. Conclusion
The show is very good, but it
sometimes uses dark/adult humor, so I don’t recommend it for everybody.
