      I'd probably say Da Boom. It had Mila Kunis playing Meg for the first time, the first iconic chicken fight, and overall was the first Family Guy episode where I felt the story remained consistent and funny enough to make the whole episode memorable instead of just a couple gags from it. The ending parodying the season 7 finale of Dallas was also a highlight

    You brought me back in time, my friend. When the uncancellation happened, my family was staying at the ski house of my rich cousins. They had this hideaway under the stairs, just big enough for kids 12 and under, and all the brand-new DVDs. So, during dinner, we'd sneak down there and all of us kids would watch the new seasons of Family Guy. I was 10-12 then, and now I'm 31, so I haven't seen clips from those episodes for a long time!

      @@lrb662003 What's funny is that I'm pretty sure that mostly came about for legal reasons. Time Warner Media owns the streaming rights for all South Park episodes but Viacom isn't going to give up one of their most lucrative IPs without a fight and they DESPERATELY need content to get people to buy Paramount Plus. The workaround is a legal loophole where now Paramount Plus can hold onto the show by advertising it not as "episodes" but as "exclusive special events". The technicality being if they're not the run time of television episodes, if they don't air on CC episode or cable television episode blocks and if they're not developed in episodic season cycles, then they're technically not episodes so the contract with Time Warner is not violated.

It’s easily the episode I would recommend to a first time viewer.

    You can talk trash about the Family Guy but there will never be another cartoon as funny as it was for a few years.

Idk what my favorite epsiode is but Stewie singing rocket man is legendary.

It becomes completely unfun to watch after season 18 so that's where I restart and go back to watch old family. I had never watched family until a few years ago btw. So it's not nostalgia. The old family guy is much better than new family guy. I don't understand why that they changed characters personality all of a sudden when things were going so well for family guy.

    This is a very good analysis. It did annoy me that you called Meg the middle child when she's clearly the oldest child and you literally never mentioned anything about Chris, but when you got to the episode you want to talk about you did really well. And actually if I'm not mistaken I swear I remember seeing some episodes in season 2 when Lacey chabert still voiced Meg including one where Meg was the main character when she took Stewie to that pancake place and tricked everybody into thinking that Stewie was her own child so she can get a lot more tips. You can tell when Meg talks that is definitely not Mila Kunis.

    I loved FG back when it was new, and for about 5 seasons total, but then I tapped out. No shade on anyone who has stuck with it, it just stopped doing it for me for whatever reason. For me, there are no great (or perfect) episodes, but they had some FANTASTIC individual jokes that I still think about all the time. (Stewie asking Brian how is novel is coming along always kills me, for example.) Great video as always!

    Seth MacFarlane talks as if he's from the 50s, he's definitely in the wrong timeline. He probably would've been as big as Frank Sinatra back in those times. The man's voice is simply epic and classy.

    I remember about four years ago deciding to watch family guy again after turning against it and I actually enjoyed an amount of the episodes I watched. Like I get the criticism but it made me laugh and I wasn’t mad so I like seeing others acknowledge that it’s place isn’t completely unearned.

    1-3 are great. Of 'new' Family Guy 4 and 5 were really fun then 6, for some reason, was horrendous; thereafter it's mostly just been tolerable, but with the occasional good episode (many mentioned in this video). Of those early seasons I've always had a particular soft spot for 'Da Boom'.
