What Season 16 of Family Guy

Season 16 kicks off with Peter obsessed with winning an Emmy. He decides the show has to look like award-winning programs, so he imitates Modern Family, tries to tug at heartstrings like Transparent, and ends up copying dramas like Breaking Bad. Meanwhile, Brian moves out, Meg gets a tattoo, and Stewie visits a psychiatrist. Peter also distances himself from his old friends to win over a paramedic, and Brian gets caught up in a controversy over an offensive tweet that goes viral. Everything happens in a household where no one quite fits in.
