Yall remember when Family Guy was about a TV-obsessed lovable oaf, his responsible wife, his weird son, his misfit daughter, and their diabolical baby? Along with their alcoholic dog that gives sage advice, it was a pretty enjoyable TV family.

Now the dad is literally retarded, the wife is a porn star, the son is also retarded and the daughter is a bullet sponge for abuse. The baby is a flaming homosexual who hasn't tried to do anything diabolical in seasons, and the dog is a far left-wing idiot who can't go two episodes without spewing some Obama ideology.

What happened?

I still like the adventures Brian and Stewie sometimes go on

>the wife is a porn star
She is?

Nothing was really lost, the show was mediocre even in the first few seasons (though it was at least watchable). It's not a tragic downfall like The Simpsons.
>>
>>62983019
No. There was an episode which showed she was in a porn movie when she was young and it never got referenced again.
Family guy isn't even that bad, I don't know why everyone hates it so much. It isn't GOOD, but zombie simpsons is worse

American Dad is better, and has a better wife.

They're very aware of their formula and they actually do a pretty good job of subverting it and coming up with some very unconventional humor every now and again.
>>
>>62982951
>implying it wasn't like that from the beginning
Family Guy was always shit. Take off your nostalgia goggles.
>>
>>62983102
Never seen it, and I'm not arguing that. I just don't think its as "gouge-your-eyes-out-and-kill-yourself" bad as everyone loves to say it is
>>

DUDE REPUBLICANS LOL

Lol stop trying to do this "lol DEA remember classic FAMILY GUY?"

You just reveal how underage you are for fuck sake.

You know it to be true.

That's not an excuse for lazy writing

You grew up.

They drop the political over tones completely after season 2. Now it's a farce comedy
>>
>>62982951

Quagmire was a fun pervert not a grumpy cunt

You wanna know what really happened?

They gave the normies exactly what they wanted. They wanted retarded men, they wanted ugly girls to be abused, they wanted a hot wife, they wanted le funny liberals and le gay baby.

They gave them everything they wanted, and normies ate it up.

>>62983249
He's also a legit rapist now

I'm surprised that FG flys so well with normies considering how fucked up it is

They had kind of given up on Stewie being diabolical by the time of the first cancellation. Most of the stuff about Stewie building his death rays and shit was the first season.

Meg kind of changed when Mila Kunis took over the voice, because she gave the character more of an edge, so they could do more stuff with her. When it was Lacey Chabert, she was just kind of this sweet forgettable character.

The other stuff is just fucked up Flanderization of stuff. The show basically sucked from right when they restarted it. I think by that point, Seth had moved on to other things and wasn't really involved in the creative process any more, so the writers just tried to build on the stuff they thought the audience liked. They fucked up, but it became broad enough for plebs to enjoy it.

Francine a best. Lois is a cunt.
>>
>>62983429
That's Seth McFarland (or his writers anyway) trying very hard to pull something bad enough to get it cancelled.
>>
I like the mean spirited humor. Family guy is the most relaxing show I watch

It's called "evolving"

How come shows always end up worse after "evolving"?

Simpsons
Family Guy
South Park

Road to... episodes are still pretty great.

Rhode Island > North Pole > Europe > Multiverse > Germany

Didn't see Vegas.

>back in 2004 - 2005
>spend two days downloading each episode on Morpheus
>me and three other people (that i know of) liked it in my school (Britfag)
>early seasons made me laugh
>five years later
>repeated on tv, merchandise everywhere and decline in comedy

I will always remember being there before it hit the mainstream here. It was a simpler time.

this op is from 5 years ago

Peter has always been the pinnacle of retardation. Blindly sweeping this under the rug, putting your hands on your ears and screaming "LALALALA" won't change that.

The show is still the same in principle, the only thing that is different is that it has become self-aware. It knows about its cutaways and running gags and tries to poke fun at it.

You're just a reddit tier sheep that propagates the same meme all those normalfags on facebook do.

American Dad has never been good, let alone better than Family Guy
