THE FAMILY GUY & Literary Allusions

The Family Guy is known for its politically incorrect humor, but did you know that it often references classic literature and writers?  There have been several allusions to The Catcher in the Rye, Macbeth, and even the poetry of William Wordsworth.  So for all of the times that you sit in class and wonder why you have to learn about classic literature and long-dead poets, at the very least you'll understand the references to these works in pop culture!
