Not as funny as it used to be..., 22 March 2009
6/10
Author: John Mango from Canada

This show suffers from a lack of plot and character structure and it shows more and more. Family Guy was always about gags and clips, but the first few seasons, as compared to now, had at least some thread of a storyline. Peter was somewhat of a dad and even one episode had him have a moment with his son, Chris. As of present, all of the characters are interchangeable. Stewie, has ceased to be evil and ambiguously gay, and is now just another one dimensional character.

Family Guy could literally be just one mouth spewing lines followed by a clip and be about just as entertaining. However, this show will never lose its fan base because of the first few very funny seasons. The Simpsons, what is now a much worse show than Family Guy, has stopped being funny for the last 6 years and it's still on.
