Very formulaic and repetative mainstream animated comedy. Other than a few jokes that could be cast-offs from the NEWER series of The Simpsons, half the humour starts with words such as "remember the time when..." which lead into some "humorous" random flashback sequence, the other half being visual references to pop culture past and present that you can see coming from a mile off... Loses it's freshness well within the 3 episode mark.
Also manages to spawn annoying catch phrases that trendies and wannabe liberal hipsters like to repeat.
The fans are usually irritating too.

Kid 1: family guy iz so awesum!1
Kid 2: No, go and watch some Blackadder, Red Dwarf, or if you realy need animated comedy, South Park. At least they don't resort to 1937284562 "remember the time when..." jokes

Get the family guymug. The show that forever ruined comedy, since it proved that random, irrelevant statements are funny. It is similar to Star Wars and Jurassic Park, which by their "perfect" special effects ruined special effects forever.

Get the family guymug. a highly overrated show popular with geeks with no originality of their own because they need to watch it to get some lame new catchphrase. despite what some think, it doesn't copy the simpsons. it also has less direction than a blind Jew. mostly comprised of flashback scenes with no connection to the plot (if there is any) and features boring rants by a lemonheaded baby.
A: Wow, why am I watching this Family Guy crap when South Park is on?
B: I don't now, maybe you're queer.

Get the family guymug. A derivative and boring show that mindlessly quotes pop culture 3/4ths of its target audience does not understand.
"Did you watch Family Guy last night? They referenced the A-Team, Sanford and Son, and Lindsay Lohan within a minute!"
"No."
"No."

Get the family guymug. probably the most retarded show ever
not funny at all
making interchangeable jokes about celebrities and events that have nothing to do with the story line is not funny
i wish it had stayed off the air
