Family Guy Season 7 The show takes more risks with dark humor and controversial topics in Season 7. Storylines include substance abuse, mental illness, and social taboos, often played for laughs. The season's animation is crisp, and the musical numbers are larger and more polished. Stewie becomes more introspective, and Brian’s flaws are highlighted more explicitly. Peter remains a chaotic force, often wreaking havoc without consequence. The series also parodies modern media trends and over-the-top TV tropes. Several episodes are critically acclaimed, while others draw backlash for offensive content. Season 7 is divisive but ambitious.
