It seems that Lois and Meg Griffin of Fox's Family Guy were dress in sexy catsuits that were based on Erin Gray's wore as Lt. Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers In The 25th Century television series and something has gone wrong. Now this mother/daughter combo are struggling to get free.
Megan, aka Megatron "Meg" Griffin is the oldest child of Lois and Peter Griffin, and the sister of Chris and Stewie Griffin. She is currently attending James Woods Regional High School. Meg explainsers: in "A Fistful of Meg" that her father changed her birth certificate to "Megatron" after her mother had already selected Megan. Despite this, she is still commonly called Megan such as by Mr. Berler in "Let's Go to the Hop".
Meg is a self-conscious and insecure adolscent girl. She is treated unfairly by various people and has numerous insecurities that prompt her to try to be part of the "in-crowd". However, this only results in her getting rebuffed by the many bullies of this circle, particularly Connie D'Amico, the head cheerleader of the local high school, James Woods Regional High School. However, a nerdy student named Neil Goldman is attracted to her.
Meg is usually the butt of Peter's jokes due to her unpopularity and "ugliness"; Peter resorts to outrageous stunts and names. Stewie and Brian tend to disdain her kindness, but they typically do it behind Meg's back. Lois constantly puts Meg down, while boosting her own egotistical image. Lois is usually of little to no help to Meg when she is abused by others; though she is not as abusive towards Meg as Peter is.
While Meg is usually a pushover, she can get angry when pushed too far, though such occasions are usually rare. This can be seen in the episode "Seahorse Seashell Party", where she strongly insults and defames Peter, Lois, and even Chris for their inconsiderate actions toward her. This causes Peter, Lois, and Chris to distance themselves in shame and sends Peter into depression; though she later apologizes upon realizing that the family needs a "lightning rod" to absorb the dysfunction. In the episode "Road to Rupert," Meg assaults a man for insulting her after a fender-bender.
Many of the show's storylines about Meg involve her trying to improve her life, find a boyfriend, being a Russian sleeper agent, and reaching breaking points with her family and others who victimize her.
Out of all the members of the family, her father Peter abuses her the most, however he is shown to actually care about Meg in various episodes, such as in "Meg and Quagmire" when he goes out of his way to prevent Glenn Quagmire from having sex with her, and in "This Little Piggy" where he tries to get Meg out of a foot fetishism business objectifying her for men's sexual amusement. Peter cares about Meg but is not open about it to anyone. In "Screwed the Pooch", while attempting to persuade the court that Brian should have access to his puppies, Peter observes that if he were half the father that Brian was, he would know certain facts about his children, including the fact that "Meg's real father is..." Brian answers, "Stan Thompson." Meg herself does not hear this revelation due to her listening to music on headphones at the time.
Lois Patrice Griffin (née Pewterschmidt) is the wife of Peter Griffin and mother of Meg, Chris, and Stewie Griffin. Lois lives at 31 Spooner Street with her family and also Brian, the anthropomorphic family dog. In The Real Live Griffins, she is portrayed by Fran Drescher. Originally, she was a protagonist, but as she became darker, despite being one of the protagonists, she does have several episodes where she has an antagonistic role.
Born Lois Pewterschmidt, Lois was brought up in an extremely wealthy household with her sister, Carol. They also have a long-lost older brother, Patrick, who was sent to a mental asylum after he became a serial killer. She met Peter when he was employed as a towel boy by her aunt. Her rich father, Carter Pewterschmidt, cannot stand Peter and makes rude comments at every chance he gets. Peter seems to unintentionally do his absolute best to be a thorn in her side. She also alludes to have studied at Kent State University.
Initially, Lois is depicted as a stereotypical housewife and doting mother, which, combined with her natural beauty and sexiness, has made her the ideal woman. She has shown to be tolerable of Peter's random shenanigans, putting himself and others in danger whether it's from his unhealthy drinking or reckless idiotic acts, while doing her best to be a living mother and wife.
However, as the series progressed, Lois developed a darker personality. Among them being her apparent taste for Sadomasochism (S&M), dressing as a dominatrix in "Let's Go to the Hop", putting out a lit cigarette on her arm in "Breaking Out is Hard to Do", asking Peter to put his finger in a bullet hole and twist it when he accidentally shot her in "Barely Legal", and directing Peter to kick her breasts in "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag". Several times, Lois raped Peter, yet she sees nothing wrong with this as she believes men can't be forced to have sex.
Lois has also gone from a loving mother to a woman who once admitted that she didn't want children in the first place on several occasions; in "A Fish out of Water", when she and Meg go on Spring Break, during the awkward car-ride, she tells Meg that she took birth control, but taking antibiotics made it fail, evidently causing Meg's birth. In "Peter's Daughter", she instructs Meg on how to have a miscarriage. Chris was also said to be the result of a broken condom in "Emission Impossible", with the resulting lawsuit paying for the Griffins' house.
She has also started showing almost no compassion toward Meg, Chris, and sometimes Stewie on a number of rare occasions, whether either of them gets into serious situations. In almost any episode, Meg is the prime target of various negative comments from Lois, which ranges from an assortment of criticisms about her appearance or personality, sometimes displaying superiority over Meg using her previous relationships, accomplishments, or popularity, often breaking down her daughter's self-esteem more and more with every episode. Lois was even willing to consent to having Principal Shepard create a fake application for Meg in "Meg Goes to College" so Meg would be accepted into a college and that way they would be rid of her.
In several situations where her children show any kind of imperfection that would go against her desires or question her adeptness as a parent, she'd once attempted to come up with an immediate reason to tell people if Chris committed suicide about mental illness in an attempt to gain sympathy; in "Papa Has A Rollin' Son", she asked Dr. Hartman whether or not Stewie would die younger than fourteen after he informed her that he wouldn't grow any taller; in a possible future where Stewie and Brian travel to in "Roads to Vegas", she milked the fact that Stewie had died receiving different gifts and foods from her friends and parents.
Lois would often put her own personal needs above the rest of her family and, because of her egotistical personality, she would develop a control dominatrix over her family and she is more quick to blame others rather than admit her own personal mistakes. Lois is also known to easily get very violent or threatening whenever she is angry. A prime example of this is when she beat up Peter and Chris just because they got the groceries instead of her.
Lois is also willing to resort to blackmail, such as in "Halloween on Spooner Street", where, although she got back Stewie's Halloween candy another boy had stolen, Lois threatened the boy's mother by demanding she also pay her some money as well, or against Quagmire in "Quagmire and Meg", where though she and Peter saved Meg from having sex with Quagmire, she also blackmailed Quagmire into letting her and Peter use his cabin at least once a month.
