The real pilot was that What A Cartoon! short with prototype Brian and Peter.
This is disorganized, but shockingly good. They hadn't quite corralled all the "and then a thing happens" into the cutaway gags. It's weird to see weak material like "not-porno-bringer" sandwiched between two perfect stupid gags. I'm not sure if the weirdest voice is Lois on quaaludes or Seth MacFarlane's bad impression of Seth Green.
Seth MacFarlane really had Peter's unflinching stupidity nailed down from the start. The whole show had to coalesce around that energy. Brian and Stewie are about right for early seasons, which is not saying much for Brian. Lois is relegated to being interrupted while nagging. The kids are not alright.
The back half loses focus.
