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.

This and South Park are shows that master dark comedy and satire.
It is very well written, the jokes are good and land (most of the time).
The voice actors in this show are incredible, the Griffin's voices are iconic and have their moments.
On the other hand, after season 13 it really fell apart, the episodes aren't nearly as funny and are basically the same, they barely make any Brian and Stewie episodes (which are the best episodes).
Unlike South Park, it doesn't get better with age, it isn't as culturally relevant (even when it shouldn't be) and feel boring and painfully unfunny.
Seasons 1-13: great Seasons 14-present: no, just no.

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.

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.

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.
If you want dark off-the-wall humour that will easily provide consistent yucks, then this is your animated comedy show.
The unworthy dismiss it as primetime lowbrow cutaway filth; this is not a show for them, this is a show for people who love to laugh yet find less and less things to laugh at as time goes on.
The show has strong expression of Jazz and Big Band references solidified through it's theme song, composed and effortlessly reiterated by Walter Murphy. If you're into Jazz music this alone is reason enough to watch.
Despite his modesty in interviews, Seth MacFarlane is a genius and we're going to really miss him when he's gone.

You have to be able to quickly switch gears between story line, gags and cut-away but its all fun. Quality and content has swayed to and fro from season to season but it continues to put out fun goofy and offbeat humor that can at times be very poignant. There are those that don't care for its type of humor but an interesting coincidence that I have found is that many of those people are watchers of like the the voice and or the walking dead. I find the walking dead aspect to be intriguing because to follow that show you have to be able to suspend belief in reality to accept the pretense of a Zombie apocalypse but then also find comedic gags to be too far out there. Character alliances come and go with episodes and seasons but my favorite is the Stewie and Brian duo. Perhaps the single best aspect of the show are some of the otherwise unrelated cut away gags that poke fun at random aspects or instances in life.

Family Guy used to be a very good show, with a certain charm to it. Even the cutaways and Brian Griffin were good back then, but as time goes on and on, Family Guy just keeps getting worse and worse. Many of the characters have gone downhill, such as Peter, who used to be hilarious. I would have given this show an 8/10, but the show's newer seasons are pretty bad, so I have to give it a 7/10.

I cannot even begin to discuss how ridiculously smart and outrageously funny is this show. Not only does this program far surpass most of the comedies on television, it has the guts to hit topics that most of the overly sensitive public shies away from. I never understood why it was taken off the air in the first place. Fox can show something as tawdry and humanly degrading as Temptation Island, but Family Guy was too racy? Riiiight.
I absolutely must comment on the incredible voice talent done for this show, most especially the amazing creator himself, Seth MacFarlane. First of all, his versatility is unlike anything I have ever heard. When I discovered how many voices he actually performed, I was floored. I am currently receiving my masters in speech pathology so I find his ability particularly interesting. Not only can he speak in these individual voices, he can sing in them, and very well I might add.
The musical numbers in this cartoon revive a dying art. The "Road" episodes are a hysterical throw back to the Crosby/Hope movies, which is a reference I usually have to explain to my friends though they often must explain a few that I miss. In fact, the scope of the references range from cheesy 80's TV to political commentary to Broadway. This is why everyone will find something funny about this show. Everyone in one form or another can relate to it.
Most of my guy friends think I should be offended by the show because I am a woman and this is a "guy's show." Let me tell you, this is not the case at all. Lois Griffin is a freakin role model. I like to think I have half of her savvy when dealing with my ignorant boyfriends.
Absolutely excellent television. Edgy, funny, intelligent and extremely creative. This show was a breath of fresh air for mundane television and will soon awaken the network again. Seth MacFarlane, you are a genius!!

In the old day Family Guy had clever jokes, interesting characters and it was well...
FUNNY!
After like 2011 it was just dull humor that is just there to shock the audience
nothing was left of how family guy was.
i give it 6 stars because of the old days but i cant give it 9 stars as i would normally because these episodes are an insult to the cartoon medium

Woah. Family guy has really fallen. Season 19 is by far the worse season I've seen.

The series is so hilarious. I love that Peter Griffin got a Fortnite skin and collab. Love the satirical humor it uses.
Peter Griffin's Bird is the Word episode is my fav episode in the series. The emote even got introduced in Fortnite.
I also loved the Blue Harvest because it parodies the OT really cool.
Stewie is also my fav character because of the cool time travel stuff, funny stuff, and he has a 5000 IQ.
I also love that the series was inspired by Simpsons; even had a crossover with both the Griffins and the Simpsons.
I also love Quagmire's Giggity Giggity Goo line because it is so hilarious.

I think the writers did a great job on the add-ins with the Kool-Aid "Oh, yeah" and the "Caca for kookoopuffs". Yet I think that the Father should be given more of a character. I think he should be more defined as a person. He doesn't really stick in my mind that well. Stewie is the greatest. He is the funniest character on television I have seen in years. I think he should be the main star of the show. This show definitely gives the amount of laughs a half hour should give but please don't substitute it for The Simpsons.

One of the best sitcoms of all time for the first few seasons but then the show just loses its humour and gets boring with bad, stupid, and and repetitive jokes.
