Show Summary

  • Returning Series
Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and freakin' sweet. The animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and world domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense. Meg desperately tries to be part of the popular crowd, and is coldly rebuffed. Their talking dog Brian keeps baby Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting out his own life issues. After being canceled in 2002, having an outstanding performance in DVD sales and syndication ratings that beat late-night talk shows, its cult status reached great heights. As a result, the series was added back to the FOX Summer 2005 line-up. Family Guy returned to the small screen with new episodes on Sunday, May 1st, 2005. A DVD Movie was released in September of 2005. Family Guy has won 3 Emmy awards and 3 Annie awards.moreless

    At one time i thought Family guy was hilarious, it was crude and silly but i still liked it. I've watched a few of the new ones recently and there are LITERALLY no laughs. Not one. I never liked seth macfarlane anyway but it seems now he has resorted to cheap shots at celebrities and dumb shock humour. neither of which are going to keep me watching this programme. To be honest i would prefer to watch the simpsons or south park. Two series that are both older and have had more seasons than family guy, yet still manage to make me laugh. Give up now, dont let this show be remembered as a piece of junk. Because currently that's what it is.moreless

    Family Guy has got to be one of my favourite shows, loads of people complain how the jokes dont fit into the story but thats comedy for you! its hilarious while i must admit a few episodes are a bit bland most of them are hilarious and i've seen every single episode thanks to http://adf.ly/8d7OU :)
  • A Great Show, but with stumbling blocks along the way...

    Reading some of the past reviews is really interesting because I believe everyone makes some good points. Personally though I believe Family Guy is a great show that has just suffered from bad writing and exaggeration in some of the episodes.

    Season 1 and 2 were very entertaining seasons. They introduced the characters well and had consistent, well written episodes. I think the writing was the best in these episodes, and they relied less on cutaways and more on good stories.

    But heres probably where I differ with some people. I believe that from seasons 3-6 Family Guy developed into one of the best cartoons on TV. Yes Peter turned into a big kid, Stewie became more normal (but also more adult like and cynical which i liked), Brian turned into an opinionated douche, and Lois got more slutty. However, I found all of this very entertaining and the cutaways were fantastic. Peter made the show with his dumb antics and me and my friend loved watching the show to see what Big Petey would do next!

    However, Family guy definately took a dive in the second half of season 8 - season 10. They got more reliant on the characters stereotypes and the story just turned to crap. And thats why I very much agree with some of the negative reviews on this post. Season 10 has definately picked up though in the second half which is very good to see! the first half was apalling...

    Anyway, I just wanted to give my own opinion :P I think Family Guy is very much a show for me that doesn't have to be witty to be good. South Park has definately got them beat on that. But sometimes a bit of stupid humour is great, and Family Guy delivers on this :)moreless
