![]() ![]() While all the pieces are there, something doesn't work as it did before. ![]() In the current season, it seems that they try to resurrect some of the old charms of the show with excessive use of nostalgia and cutaways, alongside some major character development. Seasons 19-20, which were approved while they were under Fox but the facto were under Disney, felt like Family Guy writers were walking on eggshells. Interestingly, when it came to adding Netflix's Marvel series to their catalog, they didn't care much for them being R rated. And instead, it is being released on Hulu. All the racist, misogynist, and homophobic jokes worked because they coated a story with grounded relationships and emotions.įor instance, we cared when Brian died or when Meg and Peter connected until she realized she outgrew her need for a toxic dad figure.Īfter Disney's acquisition hit Quahog in 2019, it seemed that neither Family Guy people nor Disney's people didn't know how this relationship is going to work.ĭisney labels itself as a PG13 content creator and for that reason when it launched Disney+ it kept Family guy out of its catalog (in the US) due to its FG TV-14 rating. I think that Family guy made it so far because it was always a self-aware show that walked on the silver lining between The Simpsons' self-righteousness and South Park's controversial spirit. It was the about same time that Seth stepped away from the series in 2011 to make more time for Ted and other projects.Īlthough the later seasons were for the most part okay-ish, the show kept parting away from how daring and sharp it was in the earlier seasons. I think that most people will agree that somewhere around season 10, Family Guy started to decline. I can't stress enough how much I love Family Guy, not only for the jokes but also following the show's evolution as it struggles to stay relevant and funny while the world around it keeps changing so much. ![]()
