Family Guy: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best (So Far)

5. Season 8

Season 8 kicks off with Road to the Multiverse - often regarded as Family Guy's strongest and most creative episode. As Brian and Stewie travel to alternative worlds, we get a creative mix of gags, exquisite tunes, and elaborate animations styles. The highlight is when they venture to the Disney universe, where they constantly have the urge to burst into song.

Not only does this season have some defining moments (like learning why Quagmire hates Brian), the themes on current affairs are on-point. Dial Meg for Murder highlights how prison can turn small-time offenders into hardened criminals. Episodes like this showcase a perfect balance of absolute hilarity but also making a thought-provoking commentary on social issues.

Brian & Stewie, which reveals Brian's suicidal thoughts, may have been polarising but was also a good example of the creative team making gut-busting jokes while tackling real concerns in the world.

Also, the Star Wars parody, Something, Something Dark Side, proved its predecessor, Blue Harvest, wasn't a one-hit wonder. Instead of just making references to Star Wars, this episode has a lot more universal humour that viewers should enjoy, even if they're unfamiliar with George Lucas' legendary franchise.
