The funniest, most random, and entertaining show ever created by man kind in the history of the world. The show kicks ass. Seth Mcfarlen is a pure genious! There is not a better show out there.

Family Guy is a show that comes on Fox and on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The show follows a disorderly family, Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie, and Brian the dog.
The show uses flashbacks for it's humor, and it is often overused. These flashbacks have very little to do with the main plot, which is often hidden behind these flashbacks. The show is often bashed for the flashbacks and often accused of being a rip off of the Simpsons(In total irony, the Simpsons was accused for being a rip off the Flintsones). Sometimes the flashbacks work and other times it doesn't and the show has been going downhill since season 3, which is the common opinion of Family Guy fans.
Moving on to other things, the charathers are very predictable. And the running gags are never really mixed up, and running gags from certain episodes will come in to later episodes, they wern't like the "Kill Kenny" gags and you know it will happen.
Overall, I personally think that the show is unintelligent.
But I think it's a great show for a few laughs for anybody.

FOX cartoon that uses pop culture and tongue in cheek humor to induce hilarity to an otherwise lame lineup of FOX shows. Centers around the Griffin Family- Dad Peter, Mom Lois, Daughter Meg, Son Chris, Baby Stewie (evil genius), and Dog Brian- and their life on Spooner St. in Quahog. Everything and everyone is mocked from Osama Bin Laden making his next address to the U.S. to Optimus Prime being jewish. It is presented in rapid sequence, usually not adding to the plot, but that is where the appeal is.
Did you see Kate Moss on Family Guy? Everytime she turned sideways she disappeared... (Obviously making fun of how thin she is)

A television show that was canceled by Fox after 3 seasons was later brought back after several years. The fourth season is widely viewed as a great disappointment. The main characters are Peter, Lois, Brian, Stewie, Meg, and Chris.

One of the most overrated TV shows of the 21st century thus far. The early years were good, but since its return it has been boring, yet everyone likes it and sees it as better than the Simpsons, even though it is pretty much ripping of the Simpsons completely.
The characters are simple and unfunny.

A once amazing show that has undeniably deteriorated. Still good, but definitely not what it used to be. Compare the 1st 2 seasons to the newest episodes.
Family Guy seasons 1 and 2 were great, 3 was good, the 1st half of 4 was ok, but the 2nd half was 80% Meg bashing and flashbacks.
