Peter Griffin (seasons 1-7)

Peter Griffin is the father of Meg, Chris and Stewie Griffin, the husband of Lois Griffin and the main character of the long running animated adult tv series, Family Guy. He is voiced by Seth MacFarlane.

Why He Rocked

 * 1) He’s a very caring father to Meg, Chris and Stewie and well-meaning husband to Lois.
 * 2) He has shown to be great friends towards Brian, Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland.
 * 3) Even though he has his flaws and wrong doings, he‘s shown to learn from his mistakes.
 * 4) He has many funny moments and has spawned many hilarious memes, a good example is the “You know what really grinds my gears?....” meme.
 * 5) Seth MacFarlane does a fantastic job doing his voice.
 * 6) He’s a lot more understanding then he appears to be. He quite usually will learn something at the end of an episode and will realize the error of his ways in that episode. Much of these moral realizations he learns tend to be family-oriented such as how much Lois really means to him and how he regrets risking away their relationship.
 * 7) Even when Peter is doing something idiotic or ridiculous, it’ll still come off as hilarious.
 * 8) His fight with Ernie the giant chicken is very entertaining and hilarious, and nothing short of awesome to watch.
 * 9) * Even his fight with Homer Simpson was also very unexpected.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Him, along with the rest of his friends and family, have been flanderized horribly in later seasons, though there are some instances where he is funny and likable.
 * 2) It also varies whether he was in character or not in Seasons 6-7 and 9, depending on episodes such as Long John Peter or Play It Again, Brian.
 * 3) *Likewise, he does have some unlikable moments before Season 8, like in Fore, Father, he traded away Chris.
