I don't want to trash the show in general since I don't think I've seen a full episode in like 20 years. That said, I see clips on my social media feeds all the time, and every character seems like a jerk or scumbag. Are there any characters that actually have heart or a personality that the audience can connect with, or is "everyone sucks" a central premise of the show?

Their defaults arent bad but every character has done something cartoonishly bad at some point in the show

Meg is written as likable more often than not, though they occasionally make her very gross and/or an outright psychopath depending on the episode.

Odd how he is almost always used for comedy relief. Might rub some people the wrong way.

Yeah, IMO, Meg is most likeable.

shows like family guy are strange because characters kind of dont have any set morals, beliefs, or even personalities honestly. They do whatever the episode needs them to do.

There was an episode that tried to take domestic violence seriously, and had fucking Quagmire as a voice of reason. The dude who is a literal rapist.

Cleveland was always solid and never did harm/had anger towards anybody except for when Loretta cheated on him with Quagmire, which his reaction was obviously understandable. He's also the most logical one in the group. Only bad things happened to Cleveland which made him a sympathetic character, whereas the next closest to being a decent person (Joe) talks about how he abused Kevin the first time he beat him in something and casually mentions how he got sent to Iraq or Afghanistan where he died with like no sadness in his voice when they wrote his character off.

Everyone has kinda done some kind of atrocity I think. Meg and Chris once slaughtered a bunch of their classmates. It was technically self defense but.....

Cleveland Show shit on all that good will for Cleveland. He basically became Peter being an inept husband as Donna tried her best to keep him in line. And I say this as someone who actually grew to enjoy it.

This is true and yeah I enjoyed Cleveland Show as well in spite it of its, however, we are talking about Family Guy characters in this thread, so I only referenced him in regards to his role within that show.

Honestly this. It feels so weird to me when people try to find like deeper meanings to Family Guy lol. You watch it for the jokes and (at least in my case) the vocal performances.
