Breast-feeding's just so painful since Stewie's teeth are coming in. Brian and Stewie learned the lesson so many time-travelling adventurers have before them - you mess with the timeline at your own peril. Luckily, it veered in some pretty crazy directions once Brian warned his past self about the 9/11 attacks and history took a serious left turn at Albuquerque. If that were all we got out of this episode, that might not have been enough to make this list.
This allowed the show to become even more self-aware and self-deprecating than usual, poking fun at the extremely dated animation quality and unrefined humor of Season 1.
#WATCH FAMILY GUY SEASON 15 EPISODE 3 SERIES#
The Dynamic Duo found themselves travelling back to the Family Guy series premiere. While Brian and Stewie's road trip adventures were nothing new by the time "Back to the Pilot" rolled around, this episode managed to put a clever spin on an old formula. Cookie Monster could have invented Facebook." Mexico could be the world's dominant super power. Who knows what unforeseen consequences are awaiting us? Saddam Hussein could be president. And given how often Gibson has had public meltdowns in the years since, this episode has only become more appropriate. Rarely has a celebrity been more successfully lampooned on the show. In the end, Gibson is destroyed by his own hubris. Desperate to reclaim his stolen reel of The Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This, Gibson kidnaps Lois and drags Peter through a Hitchcock-inspired thrill ride. But the real fun in this episode comes from Peter's war against Mel Gibson. It's funny to see the two quickly settle into the role of a quiet, suburban married couple and do all the things parents do, like planting cocaine in the school locker of Chris' upside down-faced nemesis, Jake Tucker. Much of the show's best material comes from the Brian/Stewie pairing (a fact that will be reiterated many times on this list), and this episode is no exception. After poking fun at their own cancellation in the opening moments, the writers launched right into a new adventure that saw Peter and Lois take a romantic vacation to rekindle their marriage while Brian and Stewie babysat Chris and Meg back home.
The show didn't seem to miss a beat, luckily. I want to nail Peter, Brian, Stewie, and Brian Griffin to 4 crosses and blow their heads off with a gun."Christians don't believe in gravity.""North by North Quahog" marked Family Guy's big return to FOX after several years of slumming it on Cartoon Network and racking up DVD sales. After all this is FOX we're talking about and they seem to be trigger-happy with allowing shows to run further than they should, I mean just look at the Simpsons and how they've done well after 30 seasons!īottom line, the season is bad. If this isn't conclusive evidence to cancel Family Guy before it gets even worse, then I don't know what is. Replace them or just end the show, because it's painfully obvious that none of them care about their job anymore and if that's the case then we're better off without them being on this show. That includes the directors and Alec Sulkin. They could've been used to explain how they got out, but instead like always they have to throw in one last cheap boring joke to get through the episode.Īll of the writers should be fired. Then those "act iv" scenes need to just be taken out. And what about an exciting Yacht escape episode? Well you can forget it! They go the easy route and just cut straight to them back at the house without any explanation about how they got back.
Then there's the episode where Lois becomes a music teacher, but that went down the drain as they slapped a cheap murder plot that not even Alfred Hitchcock could save. We're treated to what is supposed to be a "reboot" which is nothing but senseless pointless filler for each, and just further boredom. Why is that? Just to keep this short, literally every episode either has pointing flaws, explaining jokes before they happen, or a joke that drags too long.Īctually no, I can't keep this short. Sure in seasons 5, 6, 7, and 8 they might've had one or two episodes that actually weren't bad but most of them and especially the entire 2010s decade it feels like it was written by kindergartners, and even THEY would write better. For anyone trying to watch this show you're going too deep after the fourth season. Season 18 was just a complete wasted joke, like it has been since season 5, and the evidence just keeps piling. Okay to all the "fans" of modern Family Guy, please, just realize this.
