Family Guy: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best (So Far)
11. Season 16
When Season 12 was released, viewers wondered if Family Guy had lost its way. And when the following seasons continued to dip in quality, the likelihood of Seth MacFarlane's show being cancelled (for the third time) seemed like a genuine possibility.
And then, Season 16 came out of nowhere and reminded us of how freaking funny Family Guy could be. Every episode is filled with a plethora of visual gags, witty dialogue, crude humour, and meta-commentary. The first episode takes precedent as it effectively mocks the tropes of classic shows like The Big Bang Theory, Transparent, and Breaking Bad. Also, it was nice for two members of the Modern Family gang to cameo.
After watching the whole season, one would naturally assume Family Guy was getting a second wind. But since the animated series has never been as funny as this since, Season 16 now feels more like lightning in a bottle.
