My research paper is about racial stereotypes in the television show Family Guy. I have been thinking about interviewing some people for my paper. I want to interview a fan of the show, someone who might be offended by stereotypes, and someone who finds the show offensive. I think that someone who was a fan of the show would provide an interesting point of view. They would definitely be more bias to defending the show. But they may find the stereotypical jokes to be not as funny as other ones. I want to interview someone who is offended by stereotypes because that would give me a little perspective. Then I could ask them if they have ever seen the show and been offended by a stereotype on it. One person that I definitely want to interview is Dan Harris. I want to interview someone that dislikes the show and finds it offensive because it would really open my eyes. I really enjoy Family Guy and do not see a problem with the show, but this person that dislikes it would help me to be a little less biased towards the show.
1. What do you like (or dislike) most about Family Guy?
2. What is your favorite type of humor used in the show?
3. Has the show ever offended you?
4. Would you say that the show uses a lot of stereotypes?
5. If these stereotypes were about you, would you be offended?
6. Do you believe stereotypes depicted on the show are true?
7. How offensive do you think others perceive the show to be?
8. If the show no longer used stereotypes, would it be any better/worse?
9. What would you say concerning the stereotypes used and if you would still use them if you were the show’s creator?
10. In general, do you find stereotypes offensive?
