## About

Adam West is the mayor of Quahog, voiced by the actor Adam West as a fictionalised version of himself. Seth MacFarlane and Steve Callaghan created the part and MacFarlane designed it. The character first appeared in the second season, in "Fifteen Minutes of Shame", broadcast in 2000, and recurred until the seventeenth. He is written as deluded and given to schemes that drain the town's money or put its people at risk, and no political party is ever attached to him. In "Brothers & Sisters" he marries Carol, the sister of Lois Griffin. The actor died in June 2017, after which the character was killed off. His rural cousin Wild West, voiced by Sam Elliott, took the mayoralty from "Wild Wild West" onwards.

## Characterisation

West is quiet and amiable in manner, and at the same time childish and unhinged. His schemes have sent the whole Quahog police force to Cartagena in Colombia to hunt for Elaine Wilder, a character from the 1984 film Romancing the Stone. He has put council funds towards a statue of the Dig 'Em frog cast in solid gold, and had coffins encased in cement against the risk of the dead returning. In "420" he legalises cannabis after Brian sings in favour of it, then reverses himself days later once Brian has been paid to sing against it. He has also been shown as a Russian sleeper agent, and "Dr. C and the Women" suggests the eccentricity is a screen for something darker.

## Development

Seth MacFarlane wrote for the cartoon series Johnny Bravo before Family Guy, and West played a strange version of himself in an episode MacFarlane wrote, first shown in December 1997. That version dressed formally and drew on his work in the 1960s Batman series, but carried the same delusions the later part would have, among them mole people living under a golf course. MacFarlane liked the performance enough to build a comparable character of his own. Steve Callaghan told Entertainment Weekly after the actor's death that five finished episodes with him were still to be broadcast, and that the writers had not yet decided how to handle the departure.

## Credited appearances

Credited in the principal cast or guest list of 97 episodes across 17 seasons. IMDb records up to ten voice credits per episode, so this is a floor, not a full list.
