"Family Guy" stands to become the best satire of all-American dysfunction next to "The Simpsons." [29 Jan 1999]
"Family Guy" isn't for everyone. Obviously. It's also not as fully-realized or intelligent as "The Simpsons." It's extremely fast-paced and obsessed with a nonstop stream of jokes, jokes, jokes. And the humor is often hit and miss. But when it hits, look out. [29 Jan 1999]

This is a great show. The animation is good, the humor is fine and it has a great cast of voices.

SEASON 1
Both subversively funny and sophomorically silly. [11 Apr 1999]
Even if you find the show odd, awful or freakish, at least it won't bore you. [29 Jan 1999]
We fear [Family Guy] already may be out of material. [9 Apr 1999]
The Family Guy is worse than dumb; it's not funny. [30 Jan 1999]
Utterly excremental. ... May the room in which "Family Guy" is drawn be sacked, emptied, disinfected and burned to a cinder. Anything to keep them from making any more episodes of this smug and amateurish tripe. [30 Jan 1999]
Family Guy is a very very great show ever. It is very hilarious and interesting to watch. I can't find a possible way to hate this comedy show. Luckily there's a family guy.

SEASON 1
If you value your morals than stay away from this show. Seth MacFarlane is not afraid to give the world a show that isn't just stupid, but just down-right degrading. It's basically The Simpsons but without the same level of charisma or comedic gold of its hey-day.
The show is (as I pointed out) a remake of The Simpsons and like most remakes it pares in comparison to the original. At this time and age The Simpsons is starting to decline in quality, leaving more room for this thing to gain popularity.
While there are some mildly funny jokes here and there and some major laughs, it is all-around boring. Every episode centers around either Peter, Stewie, or Brian, and presents a situation that must be dealt with, through some rather different means, that's it, that is the description.
The jokes are boring and lazily written and are always presented through cut-away gags, which drives this show. Don't get me wrong, they're starting to use less this season, but when the show first started to air we had gag after gag after gag after gag after gag, and it just keeps going.
DO NOT let your kids watch this show. Teens these days will tell you that this show is funny, but what do they know? Would you watch a show that makes fun of your sexuality, religion, or other personal aspect without having a good reason to? I didn't think so.
All in all, you are better off watching The Simpsons (Seasons 3-10) or South Park. At least those shows present a current issue and solve it through evidence, lampooning, and offensive opinion. Hey, don't call me a hypocrite, those shows are far superior.

SEASON 1
bad show! not funny overrated stupid boring at times and not very good. offensive humor and sometimes not real comedy. it goes way too far a lot. from racist to stereotypical to offensive. the jokes get old real easily and most of them are cruel. its more jokes making fun of people and saying ha ha to every single well known person out there than it is stupid jokes. i used to love the show when i was younger, until i understood the jokes better and realized what they were mocking. this show is evil and Seth Macfarlane is a giant liberal maniac!
