List of episodes

Family Guy's tenth season debuted on the Fox network, on September 25, 2011. The series followed the Griffin family, a dysfunctional family consisting of father Peter, mother Lois, daughter Meg, son Chris, baby Stewie and Brian, the family pet, who reside in their hometown of Quahog. The executive producers for the tenth production season are Seth MacFarlane, Chris Sheridan, Danny Smith, Mark Hentemann, Steve Callaghan, Alec Sulkin, and Wellesley Wild. The showrunners are Hentemann and Callaghan.

In 2008, it was announced that the series had been renewed through at least 2012, for a tenth season.[1] It was also announced in 2010 that the series had been renewed in syndication through at least 2015.[2]

During this season, Peter becomes friends with Ryan Reynolds (guest-voicing as himself), the Griffins win the lottery, Meg falls in love with an Amish boy as Peter goes to war with his family, Stewie starts driving Brian's car and accidentally crashes it, Meg dates Quagmire on her 18th birthday, Quagmire asks Peter and Joe to help him kill his sister's violently abusive boyfriend, Peter befriends a dolphin (voiced by Ricky Gervais[3]) and Brian and Stewie travel back in time to the very first episode of the series.[4]

Also, the hurricane-themed episode that was going to air as part of the ninth season in a crossover with The Cleveland Show and American Dad! has aired as the second episode of the season on October 2, 2011. It was put on hold because of the event of the series of tornadoes that killed an estimated 346 people in the Southern United States around the time of the planned original release date.[5]
