The only TV series to be cancelled twice, it's amazing this show is still on the air today (our Season-Quality Correlation shows that the earlier episodes were indeed the best ones, as one would expect from a long-running series). Family Guy can be incredibly offensive at times (and even misogynistic), yet it remains brilliant as an equal opportunity offender. Some might also note the similarities with the Simpsons, but I would argue Family Guy took it to a level nobody thought possible (for example, the writers managed to make almost half of the typical episode's runtime cutaways that are completely detached from the main plot).
