It may not be as good as South Park but this very bizarre and sometimes sadistic cartoon provides laughs at almost every corner of the show from very childish humor presented as retardedness to some very adult humor that reduces cringing due to it's animated appearance.

family guy's post cancellation isn't bad, but it's nowhere near as good as the 2000-era episodes. to be honest, i really feel that family guy has lost it's original, core audience by changing to stupid, plot-irrelevant humour. those who are smart enough to understand all of the jokes on the show are off watching smarter, wittier, more subtle shows, like say arrested development or firefly. those who don't understand the jokes enjoy family guy for it's quick-succession jokes and, well, randomness. it's good for short attention spans, but even shows like the Simpson's (mostly seasons 4-9) were able to keep their core adult/smart audiences AND put in slapstick-y jokes for a huge appeal, and they did both well. it's a shame family guy's plotlines are so thin, because the show has so much more potential than it uses.

Family Guy rules.

Boy do these negative reviews reek of about 3 people commenting over and over... They keep using South Park jokes to attack Family Guy. Everyone who complains about the plot is absolutely correct; the plots are stupid. Who, however; says 21 minutes of vaguely connected but absolutely hilarious vignettes aren't worthwhile?

It airs during family hour! And as a cartoon. Children watch this. Very funny for adults but all wrong for tv.
Chris C. gave it a6:
One thing that started to disappoint as family guy went mainstream was that the jokes seemed to start to become inside jokes between the writers that none of the viewers understand. A lot of time there was some joke about some actor who I don't care about, and then some stupid thing happening to him or her. I mean some of it was funny, but nothing that made me laugh out loud like the older episodes did. You wanna see good Family Guy at it's prime, buy volumes 1 and 2. Those have some good episodes on it.
Ben J. gave it a9:
Far, far funnier and darker than The Simpsons. I love this series.
