Les Griffin

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.

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.

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....

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."

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)
