I thought it was a good episode, although I thought they wasted a lot of Dog is God spelled backwards and Anubis jokes by making Brian an atheist. The Laura Bush joke may have been the oddest political joke since Bart Simpson met George H.W. Bush. However, Animation is not the best place for topical humor. I did enjoy the explanation of how only people outside the family can understand Stewie, well observation anyways. But it was a wonderful scene. Actually it wasn't really all that topical and I can't even think why it was in there but I laughed at the randomness of it. And yeah, the 4th-wall-breaking scene about who can understand Stewie made me laugh. |

Family Guy used to be a great show. Now, it's just a platform for that Hollywood sellout Seth MacFarlane to state his own political and relgious views. (See: democrats take on abortion joke; heavenly cheesecake/no afterlife souflee joke).

*Waves the no-politics/religion stick just as a reminder* I thought last night's episode was OK, but they seemed to really be reaching for things: the whole athiest thing got annoying three jokes in and the Laura Bush bit was just like... OOOKAY, what the hell does THAT have to do with anything. Seth McFarlane, for all his funny, is suffering from Mike Myers syndrome: someone told him he was a comic genius and now he believes it. So, we're getting FOUR shows of his work and diminishing funny and the same up-his-own-ass nonsense that the later years of South Park have become. IMO, natch.  |
