Best Family Guy Seasons

The writing was at its best in Season 4. Having survived cancellation, they were a little more willing to push boundaries. I think a mix of not going too far, like in later seasons, and a little luck resulted in some solid jokes and wordplay.

It's the longest season at 30 episodes, but it delivers some fantastic ones:

- Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High
- Petarded
- Peter's Got Woods
- Jungle Love
- PTV (The FCC song is amazing)
- The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz
- Brian Sings and Swings
- Stewie B. Goode (Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story Part 1)
- Bango Was His Name Oh! (Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story Part 2)
- Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure (Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story Part 3)

Seasons 1-3 are when the show peaked.

The writing and especially the humor are really disappointing now. It's just lazy jokes and awful characters, like the transformation of Stewie and Brian.

They recycled jokes, and there's a heavy political message shoved down the viewer's throat.

Overall, the newer seasons (4 and beyond) will never be up to par with the first three seasons.

Ok, before I begin, those who say that Seasons 1-3 were the only good seasons, quit it. Seasons 4-6 are a lot better.

As for this season, it's great.

Okay, Season 2 should at least be in the top 3, not #8.

This season has Stewie at his best. How can you not vote for this season?

I honestly like all the earlier seasons better.

He's Too Sexy for His Fat is a very funny episode.

One of my favorite episodes from this season is Saving Private Brian.

This season is Family Guy's most acclaimed.

Family Guy was the second animated series to be nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series (the highest award given for television). The Flintstones was the first to achieve that feat.

This was the only season that Family Guy got very high reviews. Great season!

P.S.: 30 Rock won that award.

My favorite episodes are Road to Germany, Love, Blactually, The Man with Two Brians, Oceans Three and a Half, The Juice is Loose, 420, and Stew-Roids.

These are my favorite episodes of the whole show.

Season 7 should be first, then 5, then 4.

Season 1 of Family Guy is decent. While not the best, it's far from bad, unlike Seasons 8 or 12.

The animation is not as good as in later seasons, and the voice acting isn't as recognizable.

This season does bring us good laughs, and there's no denying it. A decent start, but it gets better in Season 2.

The most unique season of all.

Season 1 is a classic. It's low on this list, but it's not that it's bad. It's just that the other ones are better.

Season 2 is possibly my least favorite because it's slow, but I like it.

Season 3 is an amazing continuous season. If they hadn't canceled the show, it would have turned out differently from here. This is why I love this season.

Season 4 is not really a better one for me, but it has really good episodes. However, not everything in it is gold as some of you might think.

Season 5 is hilarious. Really, this may be the most Family Guy-like season of all.

Season 6 was cool, but short.

Season 7 really starts character development, and I like this.

Season 8 is epic - really, my second favorite. (Also, The Cleveland Show.)

Season 10 is a bit darker and edgier, but it's fun to have a season like this.

Season 11 overused the cutaway gags but actually made good storylines.

Season 12 was really enjoyable. Some episodes more so, some less. The death part was actually heartwarming for me, and the episode Life of Brian had many good gags, but nobody noticed. It finally had more Chris episodes too.

Season 13 varies from not really good to really good. For me, it's a very homey season. With Cleveland here and the family-at-home endings, it's a feel-good season.

Season 9 is the best for me. I know it hasn't got the cutaways, but episodes like the opener, the boxing one, and Welcome Back, Carter are really movie-like and fun. This season makes the show for me.

Family Guy has repetitive and overly long gags. It was always like that. Some hate it, but the show is not for them. I love it.

Good, but I think this season, along with Season 7, started the gradual downfall before the abysmal Season 8 came around.

This season is super hit or miss. Like the same problems with Seasons 7, 10-11, the good episodes are really good, but the bad episodes are awful.

Overall, it's just a meh/mediocre season. I can see why some love it and why some hate it. I'm just mixed on Season 8.

Edgier and more erratic, Season 8 is one of the multiple high points of the Family Guy series.

It has some pretty decent episodes despite all the shock humor and sometimes low reviews.

This is actually the best Family Guy season, and I don't understand why they did it so well compared to the other seasons.

Probably everyone else watching Family Guy disagrees because almost everyone except me is upset about the show changing - and this time actually for the better.

The show has never been close to bad, and I have never understood what the big problem with it is.

This season is actually starting to have better plot lines compared to other seasons.

It was a really good season. "Life of Brian" was so sad.

Not a bad season, and this season shows they are improving.
