    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Family Guy' is celebrated for its irreverent humor, offbeat storytelling, and iconic characters. The show's boundary-pushing comedy and sharp social commentary resonate with many. Its rapid-fire gags and cutaway jokes maintain viewer engagement. However, the series faces criticism for inconsistent quality, with some episodes criticized for relying on shock value. The frequent use of cutaway gags can disrupt narrative flow. Despite these drawbacks, 'Family Guy' remains a significant and beloved animated sitcom.

    Wow. Just WOW!

    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.

    Great Anytime

    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.

    I miss the older seasons

    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.

    Love it, but starting to get worse!

    I love this show! I love the characters, the places, the humor, I especially like the first seasons. The first is og but the show doesn't really know where it want to go. The dynamic between the characters isn't that good. And so on.

    But... season 4-10 is so ducking good, the characters are more loveble and connect better. For example, Brian and Stewie are friends and have a really fun friendship. The voice acting are better, the animation too.

    After season 14-15 everything starting to get worse. Now (S21) the show is not good at all. Sometimes it have its moments but the jokes are never as good as the prime seasons (6-9)

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    Family Guy is one of the best comedies of all-time. It's about the Griffin family (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg and Chris) and their talking dog Brian. I don't even know how to explain how much I absolutely love this show. It has been a laugh out loud funny show for over 20 years now. It's a crude and rude show that says all the things we wish we could say. That's what makes it so funny. It's easily one of my favorite comedies of all-time! Seth McFarlane is just an absolute genius who has done the impossible and that's make a show remain hilarious for over 2 decades now. There's not much I can say about this incredible show that hasn't already been said so just do yourself a favor and go watch it...you won't regret it.

    • Trivia
      Seth MacFarlane based the voice of Peter Griffin on a security guard he knew while going to college at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
    • Goofs
      When shown a quick view of Cleveland's House it is one and a half story Cape Cod house, like Peter's House. But, whenever Peter does one of his "Shenanigans' near Cleveland's house, it is a full two story, non-Cape Cod home.

      Peter Griffin: Brian, there's a message in my Alpha Bits. It says "OOOOOO".

      Brian Griffin: Peter, those are Cheerios.

    • Crazy credits
      In the new HD seasons intro, the generic dancers on the stairs are replaced by actual characters from the show.
    • Alternate versions
      Some episodes air in a somewhat-edited version in their original FOX airings and syndicated airings, but air in a racier, "uncut" version on Adult Swim, with some extra scenes or alternate versions of scenes. However, Adult Swim still bleeps the most profane of language.
