Alex Borstein, who is also a writer-producer on the US version of Shameless, said Family Guy has been a success thanks to "perfect" timing.
"The US was so ready to laugh, and so in need of laughing at itself," she said.
"I think Seth just hit this perfect timing of creating something animated so that it could feel very other worldly, and yet have characters so real that people can relate.
"The speed with which the show delivers jokes is constant. No one is safe. We slam every political party, every gender, every sexual orientation, religion and I think people were just ready."
