Every Season Of Family Guy Ranked Worst To Best
By William Rodriguez
In Season 2, Lacey Chabert departs the role of Meg and Mila Kunis replaces her as a series regular. Otherwise, the season continues much of what the first season started. The Griffins inherit a mansion from Lois' deceased aunt, Peter struggles to reconcile with his intolerant father, and the family survives an alternate timeline where the world experiences nuclear holocaust brought on by the ominous Y2K bug that, in the real world, caused entirely unfounded fear and panic at the turn of the century.
Later, Peter must replace the Grim Reaper temporarily after causing the specter to sprain his ankle. As expected, it's a bit of a burden and far too much responsibility for Peter. This season also begins the famous Stewie and Brian-centric episodes with the naming convention of "Road to ..." This season's Brian and Stewie episode is entitled "Road to Rhode Island." Brian is sent to bring Stewie home from visiting grandparents in California, but everything goes awry on the journey back. They miss their plane and must travel back home by whatever means necessary.
Season 2 turns up the heat on the dark humor the series became known for, as the show often makes jokes out of sensitive subjects. Despite the bold direction of the series, it was cancelled due to low ratings immediately following Season 2. However, the network switched gears and decided to continue the show in 2001 with Season 3.
