Padre de familia

Update: What kind of episodes would I want next in 2025 now that all Hollywood writers have ascended and became A. I. that floats freely in the air ? I want Family Guy to pay hommage to every single Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager episode. One ST episode at a time per each FG episode. Real FG fans will get the extremely specific ST references. --- Would be 10 stars, had this magnificent TV show not gotten a bit repetitive after season 15 or so. Still, 100s of 10-star episodes. And incredibly ballsy. Almost all the gags punch far below the waistline. The first time you watch every episode, your jaw drops to the floor. Insane the writers go there. Then you watch it a second time. Then you recall the jokes, they cross your mind, and you can't stop laughing. Also because, why would you even say all those things that this show's characters say. "I have Stratego in my mouth." "My happy place, in case I get malested." "Punch ... the baby ... in ... the face." --- Idea: You Join my Star Trek Fan Project on Google Play Books, Codename "Greenspace"

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.

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.

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.
