Summary
Reviewers say 'Family Guy' is celebrated for its irreverent humor, offbeat storytelling, and iconic characters. The show's boundary-pushing comedy and sharp social commentary resonate with many. Its rapid-fire gags and cutaway jokes maintain viewer engagement. However, the series faces criticism for inconsistent quality, with some episodes criticized for relying on shock value. The frequent use of cutaway gags can disrupt narrative flow. Despite these drawbacks, 'Family Guy' remains a significant and beloved animated sitcom.
Featured reviews
I love this show so much, I love pretty much all of the characters and it's one of the funniest shows and one of the best shows I ever watched. My Favorite characters are Stewie, Peter, Brian, and Glenn Quagmire. But I also Love Chris, Lois, Meg and even Tom Tucker, Joe, and Cleveland. I'm So glad that most people in this world love this show. But also I don't understand why people hate it. I feel like the who hate this show are some of the most snowflake people ever, and they need to grow a pair of balls. I'm glad it's only a small portion of people but come on. If everyone asked me what is your favorite season of family guy I choose season 4, don't get me wrong, I love season 1, 2 , and 3 and even seasons after 4 but compared to season 1-3 it just ups the comedy even more. Some of my favorite episodes of Family Guy are from season 4, like Patriot Games, Brian Sings And Swings, North By North Quahog, Fast Time At Buddy Cianci Jr. High, Peter's got Woods, Breaking Out Is Hard To Do, etc.
I guess the only negatives I say about this show is that some episodes that have deleted scenes, I felt like they missed out great opportunities to have those scenes in the final product in those episodes, I seen some deleted scenes on YouTube and a lot of those deleted scenes are really funny and really good, And I felt like the writers should of kept those deleted scenes in the final product of the episode. Another is some episodes of the current seasons... 15-22, are very underwhelming like I read the plot of the episode and It sounds interesting and really funny when I read it but, when I watch the episode it's underwhelming and kind of disappointing to watch, there not bad episodes, it just very average. I guess that all of the negatives.
Overall, like I said in the beginning, I love this show so much and it's definitely My top 5 Best animated shows I ever watched. All of the seasons up to 15 are top notch Like 9/10, 10/10 seasons. I give this show a 9/10.

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.
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.
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.

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!!

Did you know
- TriviaSeth MacFarlane based the voice of Peter Griffin on a security guard he knew while going to college at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
- GoofsWhen shown a quick view of Cleveland's House it is one and a half story Cape Cod house, like Peter's House. But, whenever Peter does one of his "Shenanigans' near Cleveland's house, it is a full two story, non-Cape Cod home.
- Quotes
Peter Griffin: Brian, there's a message in my Alpha Bits. It says "OOOOOO".
Brian Griffin: Peter, those are Cheerios.
- Crazy creditsIn the new HD seasons intro, the generic dancers on the stairs are replaced by actual characters from the show.
- Alternate versionsSome episodes air in a somewhat-edited version in their original FOX airings and syndicated airings, but air in a racier, "uncut" version on Adult Swim, with some extra scenes or alternate versions of scenes. However, Adult Swim still bleeps the most profane of language.
