Love this show. It's awesome as always. So great and cool. Family Guy is an amazing sitcom with many three-dimensional characters and brilliant story lines.

Nov 27, 2011

Zilcell

Family Guy is one of the funniest shows on television. The Griffins are a funny family and many of the supporting characters help make it funny too. Peter Griffin is the father with a chin that looks like balls. Stewie Griffin is the evil baby who wants to kill Lois Griffin (Stewie's mother) and take over the world. Brian is the talking alcaholic dog who is the real "Family Guy" of the family. Nonstop parody of pop culture is extremely common in the series and while it is very funny, it takes a lot of screen time off of the main characters.

Heading into it’s eighth season Family Guy certainly seems to be past it’s very best, but it remains more than watchable and every episode will illicit at least a few laughs.

NAVISTHEGOAT

The season where Family Guy went downhill and went they never could touch the golden first seven seasons. It's real sad.
