The thing about Seth MacFarlane’s animated sitcom is that at one point it really did feel as though it was tapping into something special, taking the “one man and his family” format into surreal and often hilarious places.
It is a shame to see that nowadays Family Guy is in the dog house, accused of being out of touch and time yet limping on gamely as a shadow of its former self. Emerging from the colossal shadow of The Simpsons, Family Guy went on to become one of the 2000s’ defining shows, frequently making headlines for its willingness to push the boundaries of taste, decency and offence. There was a time when Family Guy not only held some significant cultural cache but was regarded as a legitimately dominant force within the cultural zeitgeist, a show oft-quoted, copied and generally admired for its off-kilter humor, button-pressing sensibilities and for delivering a relentless slew of quickfire gags.
