I think it's very difficult to deny that when Family Guy is on, it's hilarious. When it's not, it can be painful. There are painful episodes. However, some episodes, and in my opinion the majority of episodes, are just hilarious the whole way through. I do agree with Lasereth though, in that some things that aren't meant to be funny get laughs for no reason whatsoever, just because of viewer ignorance. That's why it's generally better to watch alone.
My own opinion is that Family Guy is one of the best shows out there. When it's funny, it's by far the funniest show on television, and I'd like someone to show me a funnier one. I love the flashback sequences in the show, that's something no show has ever done, and it's brilliant. It's a perfect way to insert gags into the plot that normally wouldn't belong there. And 99% of the time, those gags are hilarious.
Personally, however, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab2021 are my favorite shows. Part of what I love about them is that I'm not flooded all the time with a billion people quoting them. They're much more select in their audience because they just don't fit many peoples' sense of humor. But when they do fit your sense of humor, it's like they were created for you, and I love that feeling in a show.
