For me, Family Guy has a lot of good short skits, but the full episodes are painful to sit through.

Same. To be honest, I actually prefer American Dad.

An Overrated Show, Annoying Amount of Cutaway Gags
This review is my opinion. When I say stuff in here like "Family Guy sucks", I'm not stating that as a fact, I'm stating that as my opinion.
I hate Family Guy with a fiery, unrepentant passion. There, I said it. Half of the jokes have no connection to the plot, they're just cutaway gags with some people that aren't even characters. Or ones where a character just randomly mentions, "This is worse than the time I...".
A lot of the other jokes are far too long. In "No Chris Left Behind", for example, a chicken (Peter's Arch-Enemy) randomly shows up, and Peter gets into a fight with him for almost 5 minutes. Yes, I understand that Overly Long Gags can be funny, but that fight with a chicken is overly long even for an overly long gag. Plus, like the cutaway gags, instead of being relevant to the plot, it's completely useless. I honestly think that if I had taken a bathroom break during that whole time, I wouldn't be confused at all about the plot.
That said, it does have its good qualities. The "How I Met Your Father" gag in "No Chris Left Behind", for example, is a great satirization of the stupid rumors that How I Met Your Mother co-stars Neil Patrick Harris and Josh Radnor were secretly dating. (For those of you unaware, it has Ted and Barney, actually voiced by their respective actors, falling in love and making out.) And the voice actors in general are pretty talented, even Seth MacFarlane, the show's creator.
All in all, 0.5/5 stars.
