The very moment I began immersing myself within this show, I fell into a state of euphoria. This show really has some excellent comedy and had me mesmerised from one scene. The way all characters link into each other like Peter, Quagmire, Joe & Cleveland as well as Brian and Stewie. They link together really well because they both have their own quirks and odd things about them meaning that each character brings different element to the comedy e.g Stewie having a Time Machine, Quagmire having odd sexual kinks. It's these bonds that keep this shows comedy on top of all animated comedy shows. Often the rivalry between multiple characters can also provide excellent humorous moments in the show. I love how odd things Peter & Chris say can say random odd things which will tickle a part of my brain which releases laughter for these types of jokes. I will never stop having a passionate love for this show, I will never see how people can view another television show as funny as this every scene of every episode is like seeing someone slip over. Uncontrollable laughter charters me on every time I think about this show. Truly an excellent comedy.

It's hard for me to rate this show. When looking back at the older seasons it seems to me like Seth and his crew had fun writing and voicing the characters. Occasionally there were musical numbers thrown into the mix, songs I know by heart and will forever be stuck in my head. Such as "Shipoopi" and "It's a wonderful day for pie"

We hardly get any of this nowadays. The gags are nowhere near as complex or funny as they used to be.

Seems to me like the only reason this show is still running is because there is money involved and because some people ( like me ) are naive enough to keep watching even tho it's not what it used to be.

I'm not angry at the state of this show, but it's sad to see what it's been reduced to.

Sure, there are plenty of flat episodes, especially after season 13. Sure they sometimes get more political than they should. But all in all, it's such a funny show. Just something to let your brain relax and take in a bunch of absurd humor. It's adult humor at its finest.

Now IMDB demands a character limit. I will say that I love this show with a passion and have seen all episodes at least 3 times, and every episode before season 13 at least 6 times each, but there's not much else to say other than: watch it.

Hoo boy. 72 characters left. Have you also tried Robot Chicken? That's a good show. But don't tell Seth McFarlane!! Wink wink.

EDIT: We're now in 2025, towards the end of season 23, and I've finally reached the point where I couldn't finish an episode. I still love Family Guy, especially for all the laughs and hilarity of the first 15 seasons, but they are going downhill, and rather quickly. "Cool Hand Lois" was the turning point where I said to myself: "wow, does Seth even care anymore?". It's becoming on average per episode more unfunny than funny. I hope they turn it around soon....

If you're new to family guy, you can start from the beginning and enjoy hundreds of amazing classic episodes, cutaways, and bits. If you're returning family guy fan, there are still mamy new must watch episodes in recent seasons, however half of the modern episodes are uninspired, copy and pasted, and filled with old internet memes because they ran out of 80s references..

Family Guy is a great watch if you want some comedy filler after a long day or to play in the background at a get together.

Family Guy is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best comedies I've ever seen! It's been on the air for almost 20 years now and it's still just as funny today as it was when it first started, more so in some cases. This is an animated show that's definitely made for adults as some of the humor may not be for children. I would recommend watching the dvd's or steaming it instead of watching it on network tv because you get to hear all swear words and cut out scenes that were too much for network tv. There are just so many great characters on Family Guy that I can't even begin to name them all. This is one of the comedies where you can watch the reruns as many times as you want and it's still hilarious.
