As production began, Callaghan, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan, Brian Scully, Chris Sheridan, Danny Smith, Alec Sulkin, John Viener and Wellesley Wild all stayed on from the previous season. Spencer Porter received his first writing credit for the series. Former recurring writers Kirker Butler and Gary Janetti returned to the series, with Butler leaving immediately afterward to work on The Cleveland Show.

Joseph Lee received his first directing credit for the series. Dominic Bianchi, Greg Colton, John Holmquist, Brian Iles, Jerry Langford, Pete Michels, James Purdum, Cyndi Tang and Julius Wu all stayed with the show from the previous season. \"Blue Harvest\" director Dominic Polcino briefly returned to the series to direct the episode's sequel, entitled \"Something, Something, Something, Dark Side\". Former recurring director Mike Kim left the series.[9][10]
The eighth-season premiere received a 5.2 rating share in the Nielsen ratings among viewers age 18 to 49, attracting 10.17 million viewers overall, the highest rated episode of the season.[42] Both of these figures were significantly higher than those of the seventh-season finale.[43] In the weeks following \"Road to the Multiverse\", viewership ratings hovered around 7 million. Aside from the premiere, \"Family Goy\", the second episode for the season, garnered the most views with 9.66 million, a high for the remainder of the eighth season.[44] The episode \"Dial Meg for Murder\" received the fewest viewers for the season with 6.21 million viewers.[45]
Episodes of the eighth season were nominated for and won several awards. On July 8, 2010, the song entitled \"Down Syndrome Girl\" from \"Extra Large Medium\" was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards. Series creator Seth MacFarlane and composer Walter Murphy were nominated for their work on the song's lyrics and music.[46] On July 24, 2010, MacFarlane gave a live performance of the song at the San Diego Comic-Con International,[47] to an audience of nearly 4,200 attendees.[48] At the Creative Arts Awards on August 21, 2010, \"Down Syndrome Girl\" lost to the USA Network series Monk.[49] Greg Colton, director of \"Road to the Multiverse\", was awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation for storyboarding the episode.[1] In February 2010, \"Dog Gone\" won the Sid Caesar Comedy Award, at the annual Genesis Awards, for television comedy.[50]
The season received negative reviews from critics. Ramsey Isler of IGN wrote mixed comments about the season, saying, \"There was a time when [Family Guy] was one of the funniest shows on TV; it was comedy gold. But somewhere along the line, the show's shine faded, its image was tarnished, and the magic disappeared\", but added, \"That's not to say that FG hasn't been good at all lately. Season 8 certainly had a few good episodes including the season opener, \"Road to the Multiverse\", which had a clever premise that was executed well. But after the first episode, the quality of the stories started to decline\".[58] He listed \"Brian's Got a Brand New Bag\", \"Jerome Is the New Black\", \"Go Stewie Go\", \"Peter-assment\" and \"April in Quahog\" as the worst episodes of the season.[58] Isler praised the \"tail end of the season\", however, citing \"Brian & Stewie\" as \"one of the better efforts the show has ever put out.\"[58] In his review for the Family Guy volume eight DVD, Frank Rizzo of DVD Talk said, \"The episodes stand on their own, whether you care about the dependence on easy gags and gimmicky concepts or not, because they are simply funny.\" Rizzo commented on the DVD release: \"Fans of Family Guy, or any of MacFarlane's series for that matter, have to be concerned that the very reason the series continues to air, the DVDs the fans buy, are getting diluted and weakened, especially when you're getting less extras, less MacFarlane, and, for the first time, less of the commentaries that give you a peek into the show's creation.\"[59]. To be fair, critics at the time had no idea of the dip in quality the show would endure going into the rest of the 2010s.
The remaining episodes of the seventh season and the first eight episodes of the eighth season were released on DVD as Volume Eight by 20th Century Fox in the United States and Canada on June 15, 2010. The DVD release features bonus material including two featurettes, \"Road to \"Road to the Multiverse\"\" and \"Family Guy Sings-A-Long Karaoke\", along with audio commentaries and deleted scenes.[60]
Family Guy may have had the unfortunate mishap of being canceled after season 3, but by the time the animated-comedy had reached season 8, there was hardly any doubt that it was the right choice to bring back the raunchy cartoon about the Griffin family.
Quagmire spends the episode trying to figure out how to raise a child without changing his lifestyle but eventually realizes the kid is better off being put up for adoption. Quagmire gives her up, immediately regrets his decision, but chooses to let his baby daughter go when he sees what a good family she has been adopted by.
Audiences and readers might not recognize this particular season 8 episode, and for good reason - it's been pulled from all streaming and cable services due to the episodes touchy subject matter. When Lois runs into an old friend at her college reunion, the friend asks Lois if she'll consider being her surrogate mother.
Brian has a mental breakdown as he realizes that his life as a dog is just as meaningless as the one he accidentally killed and falls into a depression - that is, until Stewie stages a fire that looks like Brian perished inside of which causes the entire Griffin family to burst into sobbing tears, which makes Brian realize his life does have meaning.
Season 8 with another sensitive subject. While audiences had gotten to meet several extended members of the Griffin family, it wasn't until this episode that they were introduced to Quagmire's dad, a retired military man who was depicted as being tough-as-nails.
Every comedy show does an episode where a character gets amnesia and an animated-comedy is no different. Peter hits his head and develops amnesia and completely forgets everything about who he is and his life. The family tries to re-teach him everything about his past, but Peter has no interest and starts living his own life without his family.
The highest-rated IMDb episode that Family Guy ever produced was more than deserving of the honor as season 8 opened with a \"Road To\" episode that led Stewie and Brian where they had never gone before. Stewie invents a machine that is capable of jumping to 'different parallel universes', which leads to him and Brian jumping from one universe to another throughout the entire episode.
Family Guy is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children, Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their anthropomorphic pet dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island. Since the Season 7 episode \"Not All Dogs Go to Heaven\", however, the show, which used to be a smash hit, has later become criticized by critics and audiences for many reasons, and these seasons have gone down as one of the worst examples of Seasonal Rot.
