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
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....

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.
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.

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)

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.

- 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.
