There’s a lot of great episodes, but if I had to pick one I’d pick probably the single most daring episode they’ve done:
“Downer Ending”.
That’s right, way back in season 1. I don’t think any viewer really expected something that heavy and dark from what seemed to be a slightly more serious and serialized “Family Guy”. Everything that made the later show great could be found there. If this episode flopped, the whole show would flop. And it works oh so well. This episode is why we got six seasons.
Plus, unlike many other episode 11s, it’s still very funny! It’s probably one of the funniest episodes of the show! I love the drug montage, the Dr. Who jokes, and the most realistic depiction of procrastination this side of SpongeBob.
