Family Guy - Season 1
The season also falls back into its roots of episodic nature, where no clear storyline seems to appear for the next season, with the only positive being that it awards Meg with more screen time. While some chuckle-worthy moments exist, Season 17 does little to stand out, leaving it insignificant and stagnant.

Featuring 21 episodes in 2014, Season 12 leads astray, becoming a parody of what Family Guy used to be. Standout plots this season include a Quahog-wide treasure hunt, Stewie destroying his time machine, Brian favoring his career over his son and Cleveland (Mike Henry) and Peter being separated when their wives get into an argument.
However, when discussing Season 12, the topic will always change to the most controversial finale episode, "Life Of Brian," which depicts the death of Brian after being hit by a car. Audiences were made that the humanized dog was killed in such a mundane way but were even more angered by the fact that it happened at all. Season 17 encapsulates self-contained episodes rather than developing over time, reminding viewers of Season 1 all over again. Random rather than calculated, the season lacks a freshness, where it favors shock factor over the typical humor it was once known for.
The humor takes a back seat with a sharp focus on pop culture references. While the episodes are creative as always, the direction they end up taking became ineffective at entertaining the audience in the typical Family Guy way. This season unfortunately has some of the most skippable Family Guy episodes.
Opening with a crossover with The Simpsons, the first episode of the season promised a zappy, fun thread to reoccur throughout the rest of the episodes. However, the audience quickly realized that Season 13 was in the same downward spiral as the handful of seasons before it. Season 13 left audience members feeling uncomfortable with the contrived writing and its offensive (but not laughable) humor.
Season 16 distinguished itself as an inconsistent season, teasing fans with excellent episodes such as "HTTPete," and then disappointing them with ones such as "The Unkindest Cut." Its inconsistency stems from predictable jokes, filler moments, and episodic plots. On the other hand, it offers viewers character development, fewer cutaways, and glimmers of the best of what Family Guy can produce.
Season 15 premiered in 2016 to 2017, with 20 episodes. The season produced zany storylines such as Taylor Swift (Ursula Taherian) agreeing to go to prom with Chris, Lois and Peter leading an anti-vax movement in Quahog, Quagmire becoming obsessed with dating apps and Meg joining a roller derby team.
With high points like a satirical portrayal of legendary Oscar-nominated movies and Lois' knack for hypnotism, there's no denying that Family Guy's latest season offers some gut-busting moments. It also has some boring and predictable storylines, like Stewie's political campaign and Cleveland's new job.
2011-2012 brought together a collection of 23 episodes to mark Family Guy season 10. The season celebrates its rowdy misadventures with plots such as the hilarious Ryan Reynolds becoming obsessed with Peter, Quagmire taking a shot with Meg, Brian dating a blind woman and Joe cheating on Bonnie (Jennifer Tilly).
This season is known as the start of the "demise" of Family Guy for avid viewers, Season 10 shocked fans with a drop in their writing quality. Incontrovertibly, however, Family Guy still made fans laugh and rejoice at moments in the show.
The long-awaited second season of Family Guy aired from 1999 to 2000, defining viewers' 2000s nostalgia with a much longer run of 21 episodes. Shown in this season were adventures such as Brian realizing that he loves Lois, Peter taking on the role of Death (Norm MacDonald), Chris becoming a talented painter and Meg earning extra cash when she pretends that Stewie is her son.
Memorable and entertaining, Season 2 is one of Family Guy's best seasons and has been well-regarded in the community. The season every fan was waiting for, Season 2 will not disappoint those seeking childish antics and dark humor.
Earning its place as one of the best seasons of Family Guy, Season 6 encapsulated pop-culture references, odd storylines that highlight the weird characteristics of each member of Quahog, and of course, the most controversial episodes in the history of the series (which is a good achievement, or a bad one, depending on individual humor tastes).
Family Guy fans usually fall into two distinct categories: Those who thought the show had its best days in the early seasons and watch it begrudgingly, if at all, and those who think its only gotten better over the years.
This sets the B plot in motion. I love the Stewie/Brian relationship, so I was happy they decided to resurrect Brian after his death a few seasons ago. These two are like an old married couple still coming to terms with the fact that they are stuck with each other and it's brilliant.
That is one of the strength's of Family Guy: You can pretty much watch any episode from any season and you're guaranteed to laugh at something. This episode was no exception. It cracked me up as usual.
Family Guy had a strong first season and many people have forgotten just how much was packed into it. These are some of the things viewers may have forgotten about that initial foray with Peter, Lois, Chris, Brian, Stewie and...oh yeah, Meg.
Maybe due to it being quite a while ago, or because it's packed together with season two on the Volume One DVD set, most people have forgotten, or never knew, that Family Guy's first season consisted of only seven episodes. The show premiered right after Super Bowl XXXIII and impressed many, but soon fell victim to time slot changes on Fox, making it harder to find for some viewers.
The second episode of the season, "I Never Met the Dead Man," holds a memorable moment for many diehard fans, one that borders between ingenuity and insanity. For those who have forgotten that far back, it is Peter's fault that the town has no cable television, and Meg is taking the blame for the incident. To cope with not being able to occupy his time in front of the boob tube, Peter gets creative and crafts his own set out of household scraps. This cutout television is connected to a harness as he walks around town, watching his neighbors' interactions and commenting on what he sees like they are different channels. These actions may be considered imaginative, or simply the signs of his extreme detachment from reality.
Everyone abuses Meg. It's a staple of Family Guy, but it almost seems tame in the first season, comparatively. So it isn't too surprising when the young Griffin daughter gets excited to make a new friend, Jennifer, even if she is a little odd and too bubbly. This new friend compliments Meg, unlike the cheerleaders, and even invites her to meet other people their age. It seems like a wonderful situation all around, even if the boys in the group are all castrated. It's cool!
Stewie Griffin is a complex individual, especially after several years of development, but he was a little easier to follow when the character was simply a baby evil genius in the first season. Sure, his oddly shaped head and mysterious British accent might make him seem eccentric and out of place, but it's the wild inventions and plots to commit matricide that make him such a joy in those early episodes. Fans will hear the full name of this character a handful of times throughout the series, but most have forgotten it, or at least that we learned it so early on in a scene at the airport.
Lois has an odd past, but most of those aspects aren't revealed until later on and only in little bits. Before things like her rich parents or illicit affair with a member of Kiss were brought up, fans mostly saw her as the consummate housewife, the person who had to cook, clean, take care of the kids and put up with Peter's crap. It makes sense that she's not perfect, and we were already shown her being close to the breaking point previously, but there was no way Lois was in this family without some greater flaws.
In "The Son Also Draws," there's a convoluted plot centered on Chris being kicked out of the Boy Scouts that sends the family on a road trip. That, of course, goes awry and they end up at an Indian casino, giving Lois the chance to gamble and become addicted. It all happens quite fast and sets up the conflict for the second half of the episode, after Lois bets and loses the car, stranding the family at the casino. The rest of the episode deals with Peter's scheme to get their property back. This sends the father and son duo on a vision quest with no food, but Lois' addiction is overlooked for the rest of the episode, minus a brief scene when they return. Also, for some reason, the big resolution is done with a hallucination of the Fonz from Happy Days.
A heat wave and broken air conditioner is a dire combination, which means that the Griffins need money. Peter finds out about a local dog show, and figures that winning might be the answer to their problems. Brian's against the idea, but does it for the family, acing the obstacle course until it's time for the finale: begging for a treat. His refusal to perform this last trick, in an attempt to keep his dignity, upsets Peter and is the catalyst for a huge argument between the two. These issues get worse, especially after Brian is picked up by the police for not having his license or a leash, and the two former friends begin trading hurtful comments.
This is when the audience learns where Brian came from. Peter reminds the family dog that he was a stray, and the resulting flashback reveals more about their first meeting. Brian was homeless, waiting at the stop light with a sign that read, "Will sit for food," and cleaning windshields for spare change, complete with a scruffy beard. Peter felt bad for the talking animal and invited him home for dinner, beginning their friendship. This is similar to the prototype show, Larry and Steve, where the dog character is rescued from the pound. Which is close to how the "Brian: Portrait of a Dog" episode ends also, but with a trial and a reference to the 1974 television movie The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman tacked on for good measure. 041b061a72
