It's currently terrible
15 June 2011 | by (New Zealand) – See all my reviews

It's currently terrible. The new episodes are repetitive & they lack inspiration. It's unfunny, their jokes are getting dry & humorless. The thing that bugs me the most is definitely the lack in humor as family guy used to be a random mess of decent, moderately entertaining jokes that usually had the really funny 1 every once in a while, the only thing that kept the show going. Its current lack in humor removes the shows 1 & only strength. The worst jokes are the 1s where they extend a certain action for an extended period of time e.g. the time when peter fell over & him saying ahhhh ssssss ahhh ssss of about a minute. They need to make some serious changes if they want to stay on air.
