Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Family Guy Season 1 earns its spot. The jokes in Family Guy Season 1 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Meet the Griffins: Peter, the big loveable oaf who always says what's on his mind. Lois, the doting mother who can't figure out why her baby son keeps trying to kill her. Their daughter Meg, the teen drama queen who's constantly embarrassed by her family. Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1999.
