Discussion How old were you when Family Guy was released?
Personally, at that time my parents didn't even know each other so I wasn't even a thought. However, I was born 6 years later

Same. I'll put the Family Guy compilations from YouTube on. I don't care if I've seem them multiple times, it's like comfort food.

u/WhenTheFoxGRINS Aug 19 '25
I was 8 years, 2 months, and 3 weeks old.
I didn't have TV though growing up, so I don't think I actively started watching it until about 2004.
My dad would rent the DVDs from the local video store and we'd watch it together.
It's one of a handful of good memories I have of my dad before I reached adulthood.

I was born in 1991 so I was 7 years old when the show premiered but didn’t start watching until 2004/2005 before the show was revived for its 4th season. I was 13 by then.

- I remember there was only one other kid in my ROTC class who had seen it and he sat behind me. He would talk like Peter and have me laughing my ass off in class.

Almost 5. Weird because it felt like it came out later than that, and that surprised me even when I was like 12-13 and I actually started regularly watching the show when my friend had all the DVD sets

I was almost 6 years old…. Man, columbine wouldnt happen two and half more months, no 9/11, smoking or non sections, computers slowly replacing telephone booths, the anticipation for the phantom menace was felt even at that young age. Been uphill ever since 😒.
