When did Family Guy jump the shark? 🦈

Season 7, Episode 2

Family Guy is often cited as having 'jumped the shark' during its seventh season with the episode 'I Dream of Jesus,' where Peter Griffin becomes obsessed with the song 'Surfin' Bird.' This episode marked a shift towards more absurd and less coherent storytelling, relying heavily on cutaway gags and random humor rather than cohesive plots. While some fans appreciated this direction, others felt it marked a decline in the show's narrative quality.
