    Holy **** do I ever love Family Guy. Last night's episode was pretty legitimate, Mystery Thriller like Tmacfan51 said. I'll just tell you a little bit about the plot, without spoiling anything. Everybody of Quahog gets invited to James Woods' Manor for a dinner, but what no one realizes is that it won't be a very fun night for the citizens of Quahog.

    But it was pretty funny and thrilling for the viewers throughout the entire episode. A nice one hour special to kick off the 9th season of Family Guy. I am interested in seeing what Seth MacFarlane and the team has in store for us this season.    … Expand

    Family guy starts of season 9 with an amazing mystery thriller. If you are looking for the usual Family Guy fart jokes and over-the-line offensive jokes......think again. Dedicated to his deceased mother, Seth Macfarlane shows off his first HD episode with impressive animation. The plot is exciting, intense, yet still humorous.

    I admit, I LOVE Family Guy, but this current season is teh suck. I used to laugh non-stop through entire episodes. Now, I'm lucky if I laugh out loud once. Here's to hoping that next season will be better.

    What was once funny is now just stale and boring. There are long sequences of live action and some of the worst jokes i have ever heard are said because they are all about farting.

    it used to be funny now its just a stupid show,with a funny joke being so rare its sad. also its unbearably pretentious and annoying, and i really hate how they try to act like they are telling really edgy jokes, but they are all just bs. the show is a wannabe south park

    Season 9: I love the series and use to laugh a lot at it's comedy. Now though I find myself forcing the laughs and finding them rarely. I hope to god that the series picks up where it left of in seasons 4-6 when the show was good.

    The show has become something of a amazing product having various funny jokes and having one usually groan moment sometimes when they delay the cartoon. The series has been funny but has not aged well over these past few years. Every time I see the show in that widescreen format I cringe knowing that show has made the characters unlikable the jokes to be either obvious or cringe-worthy.The show has become something of a amazing product having various funny jokes and having one usually groan moment sometimes when they delay the cartoon.

    Throughout its run Family Guy has never held back on a joke for fear of offending anyone, and that trend certainly continues in this ninth season with no subject ever considered taboo or too controversial.

    While this is one of my favorite shows on TV, Family Guy just can't seem to pull of any original jokes anymore. Instead you get these episodes were it ends up divulging into an idiot fest between Peter and his friends (that most of the time isn't funny) or your stuck with Brian and Stewie in a world of politics, racist remarks, and overused gay jokes.

    Family Guy is one of the funniest shows on television. The Griffins are a funny family and many of the supporting characters help make it funny too.

    This is the best season the show has ever had up to this point. The originality and cutaways are at a quality we've never seen.

    Between [Peter Griffin's] hiring of a "penis butler," his purchase of a solid-gold tuxedo at the "nonsense store," and his riff on the "dreadfulness" of True Blood, it's easy to forgive the plot for being as old as the hills.
