The BEST seasons of Family Guy

Every season of Family Guy ever, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best seasons of Family Guy!

A sick, twisted, and politically incorrect animated series following the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family living in Quahog. Drunk goof Peter and long-suffering Lois are parents to three kids: sadistic Stewie, unpopular Meg, and not-so bright Chris, as well as talking dog Brian - who is much more than a pet. The Griffins navigate life's oddities and their selfish desires alongside the townspeople of Quahog.

The wildly irreverent, shrewdly crude animated sensation that has been confounding the PC police since the last millennium is back! Not even the insufferable humiliation of network cancellation was enough to keep "TV's most outrageous cartoon clan" down. So raise your martini glasses in unison as "Family Guy" returns with a vengeance for more hilarious episodes that find Peter going blind, Lois in prison, Meg getting a makeover, Chris befriending a talking zit, Stewie smitten with his sitter, and Brian winning the heart of "The Bachelorette".

Meet the Griffins: Peter, the big loveable oaf who always says what's on his mind. Lois, the doting mother who can't figure out why her baby son keeps trying to kill her. Their daughter Meg, the teen drama queen who's constantly embarrassed by her family. Chris, the beefy 13-year-old who wouldn't hurt a fly, unless it landed on his hot dog. Stewie, the maniacal one-year-old bent on world domination. And Brian, the sarcastic dog with a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks. The animated adventures of this outrageous family will have your whole family laughing out loud.
