Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community May 22, 2003
Pros: read this epinion
Cons: don't not fail in attempting to avoid this epinion...
Summary: Before I begin this electronic-opinion, I'd like to point out a serious mistake on the part of Epinions in their placement of Family Guy under the Kids section of the site (though that's not to suggest that stupid mistakes on the part of Epinions are ... read more

Pros: Hilarious and never fails to make a few laughs escape me.
Cons: Terribly inappropriate and the repetition gets annoying.
Summary: At first, Family Guy throws off a more child friendly aura due to the animation that is usually associated with cartoons. However, Family Guy is anything but. Main character, Peter Griffin, a middle aged father of three children and a dog ( who can walk ... read more

Pros: STEWIE, The "Road To..." episodes, Gross humour, Not afraid to be un-politically correct, Songs
Cons: May offend some people, Not suitable for young children.
Summary: I watch Family Guy everyday and it is my favourite TV show, and blows the overrated South Park and The Simpsons out of the water.Age: NOT FOR LITTLE KIDS! There is swearing and sexual innuendo so young kids wouldn't understand it anyway, although the ... read more

Pros: I guess the colors in the cartoon are sort of pretty.
Cons: I have to repeat it. Child molesters are not funny.
Summary: I have to preface this review with some information. My husband loves this show. He thinks it is one of the funniest shows on TV. I hate it and do not find any of it to be really funny, although once in awhile something snappy comes out of Stewie's ... read more

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Vulgar, dirty, rude and insulting
Summary: I turned the channel to TBS one day and saw this cartoon. My daughter was up and I figured it might be some thing she might like. She is five years old so when I saw a talking baby it looked innocent enough. It was a very good thing that I stayed in the ... read more

Pros: Flashbacks, randomness, all of the characters.
Cons: Natta!
Summary: I started watching this show in 2001 when people at school were telling me that it was funniest show they had ever seen. I still watch the show now in 2007. All I say is that the 2 years it was off the air (at least on Fox) was hell. You had to keep ... read more

Pros: First three seasons and the first half of the fourth
Cons: When it returned it created an over reliance of flashbacks, recycled plots, Too ADD
Summary: Family guy came out in 1999 and was created by Seth MacFarlane. It had three seasons before it was cancelled and was thought to be for good. Then in 2005 Family guy made a heroic comeback on television, except for one thing… The writers seemed to run ... read more

Pros: You will laugh...
Cons: ...or not. And it's pointless.
Summary: Simpsons fans get where I am coming from on the title. Growing up in an era where the Simpsons was taboo because Bart would say "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?" among other things, I know that some shows just get a bad rap and are really ... read more

Pros: Razor sharp, caustic wit without peer.
Cons: Falling over to the "left" on any given topical issue. Pro or Con, depending.
Summary: Lots of people aren't going to like what I say here, but it is my honest opinion. There is scant refuge in the world of entertainment for the person with an IQ over 120 and an unapologetically cynical personal manner. When such a show comes along, it ... read more

Pros: You want me to cram HEAVEN into 15 words?
Cons: An underpants-stainer.
Summary: Fox is pretty cool, but they can be total dummies sometimes! From my understanding, what happened was Family Guy came out and Seth Macfarlane drew it as a crude-ish show that wasn't really for the whole family. Then some big-time execs came in and ... read more

Pros: None.
Cons: Everything.
Summary: More often than not, when I feel passionate about something, I can easily write a flowing paragraph or two to explain why. When I sat down to write this review of "The Family Guy", a show I have disliked and argued against for a long time, there was so ... read more

Pros: "Aaah!"
Cons: Read review
Summary: Being a cartoon fanatic, one day I had suddenly realized that I had grown up. I became 19 years old, and according to society, the only way to be cool is to be savy, have as much sex as possible, going to jail, clubbing, and laugh in a lower tone of ... read more

Pros: Absolutely the funniest show I've ever seen on television!
Cons: Shows times are a little late, nothing TiVo can't handle. It's also not on enough.

Pros: Hands down, the only sitcom that makes me consistently laugh out loud.
Cons: well it's cancelled now...try catching the DVD. Also not meant for the kiddies.
Summary: I have become jaded at television sitcoms. They're simply no longer funny. Why? Because they're all afraid of taking risks and crossing lines, afraid of low ratings, afraid of being sued, afraid of offending someone. Comedy has become so politically ... read more

Pros: The funniest show ever made
Cons: Not suitable for children or easily offended people
Summary: The Family Guy, where do I start.
First of all, it's very similar to the Simpsons, but FAR more edgy. In fact, it seems that Groening has been trying to make the Simpsons more edgy lately, but still it isn't on the level of FG. In fact, the ... read more

Pros: Not a second goes by without something to laugh at!
Cons: Not really appropriate for young children. Sexual implications.
Summary: A baby bent on taking over the world? (Or ending it?). A talking dog who is more like a family member? This show has it all covered! Hilarity abound!
The voice of the daughter took a while for me to place, but I finally figured out it is the ... read more

Pros: Very original blend of humor.
Cons: Very similar to The Simpsons.
Summary: When Family Guy got put back on the air, I was ecstatic. I was jumping for joy. The first time that it got taken off the air, I knew it had to come back. Then it got put back, and then it got taken off the air again. This time I wasn’t sure if it was off ... read more

Pros: Has fresh, gut bustingly hilarious comedy in the stylings of Airplane and Mel Brooks movies.
Cons: Will offend or sicken some.
Summary: Last year, a momentous thing happened. For the first time in years, I found a use for my VCR. After coughing up dust after the demise of Monty Python's run on PBS in NY, not to mention the loss of cool shows like Red Dwarf, my VCR was finally back in ... read more

Pros: funny, very similar to The Simpsons
Cons: NOT for children (or the easily offended), needs to stopped being cancelled
Summary: I can't exactly remember exactly when I first saw The Family Guy, but I'm pretty sure it was the first time they ever showed it. I remember when I saw the first episode...I thought it was the funniest show on television, aside from The ... read more
