Well, Family Guy has garnered my attention, until recent years.
Like many shows, it has taken a serious dip in quality. I found the more recent episodes/seasons have been more political, and less about the characters.
I remember watching a recent episode, and then watching the very first episode, 'Death has a Shadow'... Did I then realize that the show isn't once what it was...
I loved the earlier seasons, as it was Family Guy the way it was meant to be... Offensive, disgusting, crude, you name it. This show has taken a step away from that, and that was the very thing I loved about the show.
Don't get me wrong, there a couple good episodes in the newer seasons, such as 'Road to Multiverse', or 'Back to the Pilot', but I wish the newer seasons were more consistent in good content, such as the latter and/or the former.
As a Family Guy fan, I recommend only watching up to season 4. Anything past season 4 is where the quality takes a dive.
The first 4 seasons are pure comedy gold.
Regardless of the lackluster quality in newer seasons, my thoughts in seasons 1-4 are that the show is fantastic. It is the reason why I give this a show a watch, and a high rating. The characters are so crude, and humorous, that I remember almost losing my breath, since I would laugh so much.
The parts that 'kill' me, are when Peter would have flashbacks or made up thoughts in his head about prospects of his life... Pure genius.
If you are a person that wants to watch this, again, I would only watch up to the end of season 4. Past that is mostly irrelevant.
