The day the Simpsons first encountered the third kind of adult animated sitcoms.

[@yandhi8884]

Not really adult, more as a "mixed" show.

[@GexWozniack]

More dark than Simpson less dark than South Park tho family guy did do some stuff somehow darker than South Park (not very often tho) on SOME Accasions

[@RyneMcKinney]

Also, season 10 of the simpsons was airing still, and it was right at the start of it's decline

[@v1nag3r]

Actually, Family Guy's premiere episode aired after The Simpsons season 10 premiere iirc

[@gachadlll3530]

The fact it's the same intro but just a little slowed down is awesome

[@CrashFan03]

Slowed down? It's the same speed now as it was back then unless you're talking about like some sort of syndication edit like when it aired on tbs

[@90sNath]

@@CrashFan03 maybe the slightly off sync singing in this intro is what's throwing the commenter into thinking it's slowed down.

What about 4 and 5? Because 1-5 are the episodes I watch more

[@carsofgod1967]

And Spongebob

[@SuperMarioJeremy]

I thought Season 4 was pretty good. It had one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. PTV. Season 5 had decent, to good to amazing episodes. Seasons 6-8 had a few good episodes. I think the decline started happening around Season 9-10 with the animation budget and changes in writing style. I think the first 8 Seasons were the golden days of Family Guy

[@ArtieArchives]

i used to love how when they get to the "hes, a, family, guy" part you can hear the people appearing on screen at that moment. you can hear megs happy voice, chris' enthusiastic voice, and brians monotone one. now they dont have them in it.

[@Souphead.]

They muted Chris sometime in the later seasons. (Unsure if he even is heard any more)
