My dad got the first three seasons on DVD when I was 10, and we laughed hysterically at them. I've seen them since, and people say it was always the same are wrong. Family Guy began as an admitted Simpsons rip-off, but with the esoteric humor, inspired verbal gags and outlandish premises the Simpsons had long since left behind. Post cancellation, it became a plague on our nation. And now it just sits in the gutter waiting to be put out of its misery.

I usually don't like humor that revolves around: 1) characters being jerks 2) characters being idiots 3) mindless pop culture references and 4) shock value. Guess which show's whole shtick melds all four together?

One of the most overrated tv shows ever made, I just cannot stand this series. The entire show is nothing but a bunch of cutaway gags where its humor is mostly derived from mixing random shit together with pop culture icons in attempt to be funny. There's no originality in it at all, to me it's the equivalent of those Newground animations that feature Mario taking drugs and swearing. There's no real punchline or even satire to it, it's funny because it's crude and makes fun of something popular!

So I once went to a Q&A with Someone Important in this show and he said every page of the script has three jokes - a great one to keep, a dull one to distract, and a crass one to alert the censors - intending the studio and FCC to cut two of three jokes. While the writers hope the good one always takes, they may cut the good, or all three, or none. This is why people really only like 33% of this, and South Park saw the writers' room as manatees playing pop culture bingo. It's not wrong.

Follows the Simpsons mold with added vulgarity and frequent flashback/cutaway scenes. General consensus is that the first few seasons were pretty funny, with sharp pop culture references mixed into legitimate episode plots. Brian and Stewie were highlights. Show was cancelled, brought back due to DVD sales and performance on late night TV, and then the quality of episodes slowly trailed off until it became the type of show where it just throws random jokes at you until one makes you chuckle.

The first two or three seasons really are hilarious, packed with an Adult Swim-esque fast-paced irreverence, making it an excellent example of a more grown-up version of The Simpsons (despite it often having childish humour). Unfortunately, after being resuscitated once or twice, it came back as a "random humour LOL" type of show for teenagers, with reoccurring gags, bland pop-culture references, and very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very drawn-out jokes. D'oh!

Pre-cancellation and for maybe one or two seasons once it came back, it was worth watching. Everything I've seen since then just guns for cheap laughs with non sequitur segues about pop culture or Stewie being gay.

I noticed what I was writing was basically identical to Ocelot's review. The one thing I would add is that the South Park take on Family Guy was brutal and on point. Trey and Matt really nailed it.

(S1-3) Cynicism isn't my sense of humor, but this show is like a transcript of asshole teens on the internet. You're not breaking ground by depicting SJP as a horse. You're digging into the communal wound and making the world a worse place, one hackneyed joke at a time. There are moments of uncharacteristically kind and considerate behavior, for laughs, but I enjoy them. (Especially Stewie) There just isn't enough antidote to counteract the poison.

One of the most hilarious shows I've ever seen (live action or animated) Every single episode had at least one laugh out loud, gut busting, laugh until you cry scene, which can't be said about many other shows. This is one of the few shows that never shied away from taking pot shots at every one and everything.

The first run of this show is a fairly lighthearted comedy with innocuous humor. Upon being rebooted it became an aggressive mouthpiece for it's egomaniac creator to parade himself and his awful political hot-takes around to unsuspecting 13-year old boys. The characters are less of real people and more mouthpieces for some bad dialog and painfully terrible pop-culture references which are never-ending. I wonder if MacFarlane is even aware the he doesn't actually create anything with this show.

In between the lazy pop culture references, plain sad stereotyping, and lowest common denominator jokes, there are occasionally some pretty funny moments (especially when it lets MacFarlane's many characters riff off each other), but all-in-all it lacks both the wit and charm of other better animations shows, especially the one it stole its premise from.

Family Guy has the occasional flash of intelligence in its humor, but MacFarlane's inveterate attraction to low-hanging fruit and his writers' willingness to do anything even for the cheapest laugh get annoying fast.

Pre-cancellation seasons had some great jokes and were generally hilarious. After it came back it began a slow slide into awfulness. To be fair it got a bit better once they stopped doing those insanely long jokes that would never end and ruin the whole episode's pacing, and there's still occasionally a great episode (ex. some of the time travel ones). Just needs to end at this point.

Sometimes insanely funny despite you not wanting to laugh at their wash and repeat formula of humor (pop culture, cutaway fantasy flashbacks, and scenes going on too long). It's probably run a bit long, but there are definitely shining moments in this series.

This is hard. Before the show was revived, this was one of the best adult animated shows out there. Nearly every episode had a slew of absolute killers, the cutaways weren't obnoxiously shoved down your throat as the show's only appeal at being funny, and the characters had defining personalities that meshed well together. Now, like The Simpsons, it's simply awful. Full of useless shock humor and the characters have completely changed to become either insufferable or uninteresting.

Have been a loyal Family Guy fan for years but can't overlook the decline in writing standards in recent years. New episodes tend to have one or two really good jokes but the rest of the episode is just terrible. Will always remember it for its strengths.

The first three seasons were magic. Since its rebirth, it has been wildly uneven, but still generally gets a few big laughs each episode. The most recent couple seasons have gotten pretty bad as they're really stretching for "ambitious" stories.

Like many TV comedy fans, I genuinely really enjoyed its initial run back in the day, which had a high-energy pop-culture-infused mania to it and had the coincidental luck to step in just as The Simpsons began to smell a little stale. Then Family Guy came back and its bag of tricks got stale too - staler than The Simpsons has ever been, I'd say. The fact that they sometimes make fun of themselves for the cutaway humor doesn't really alleviate how played-out it is.

It's become very hit and miss whenever I tune in. They've slowly devolved into the Simpsons where they're making an episode about any old thing and they're now just throwing jokes and fart humour left, right and centre.

After Season 3 this is where the show picked up. I felt just a good show after all. I think now they took away "I remember the time flashbacks" Man was that show about flashbacks for like 20 to 30 min of the whole episodes. I know in later Seasons when I watched that it was cut down by a lot.

Maybe the first few seasons of Family Guy are good, as an attempt to draw the animated sitcom into darker territory. Sadly, the show would continue for who knows how many seasons and so often becomes "how many people can we offend with this episode?" I'm all for offensive humor, but it has to be accompanied with actual comedic awareness, of which Family Guy has none. South Park is miles better than whatever Seth McFarlane is trying to do here.

Often incoherent and not at all funny, Family Guy has definitely overstayed it's welcome on a comedy block that probably should have ended about 8 years ago. The first few seasons were good but the last 10 have been atrocious. Seth MacFarlane may be a funny guy, he may have a place in Hollywood and he may have some good ideas in him. However he was unable to present any of them to make Family Guy a worthwhile adventure for the long haul.

Obviously the show declined over the years. The fact that it is still able to make some people laugh still means it is a success. The show unique blend of random gags and fluid animation works just as well now as it ever did. Even though some of the cleverness has been overtaken by self-referential humor over the years.
