I'm beginning to think that the writers are borrowing notes from Drawn Together's Toot Braunstein to characterize Meg. Aside from picnicking with corpses, she cuts herself when she's hurt, and now she feeds off popular people's used food. :barf:

This episode had much less to do with Peter's erotica than it did with his relationship with Carter. As usual, some jokes were funny, and others failed.

No more extended conversations, please.

3.0/5

Its no Simpson's but its alright. The Stevie Olympic thing did nothing for me.
Just Wondering?? Who ever won that Burger King Vote for a Fox Cartoon thing awhile back?

Family Guy won. But I thought it was rigged

Better than recent episodes have been.
American Dad dominated it though - the clear best cartoon of the night IMO. That show has gotten strong.

It was pretty good. I thought that the Tracey Ullman reference was weird though.

3/5...WAY better than Deep Throats, though, but I have to say I really, really want to know how Family Guy writers are getting any sleep when their episodes are proving South Park's parody...they need to really step up the writing, I mean, how do you go from an intresting plot with tons of potential, to totally dumping it for a not only mediocre one, but a dull one?

I do have to say, Peter daydreaming about killing Lois while she preaches the moral was a great joke...

Was nothing special. I did, however, enjoy Peter imagining killing Lois (that pause when the cops are at the door, followed by him simply shrugging his shoulders = gold). That, and the Tracey Ullman joke saved this from being a 2/5 episode.

So 3/5, but just barely.

Was alright. I enjoyed the Tracy Ullman joke. The odd drawings and different voices were perfect.

3/5. Carter and Peter gave me a few laughs. Enjoyable but cheap.

I'm surprised they did another mundane mumbly conversation elongated joke. That's at least the third one in about 10 episodes. Oh well, I guess it's a rule now that every FG episode needs a joke which drags over 10 seconds.

As usual it was nothing great, some good gags some bad gags, 2 sloppy put together plots that they needed because the writers seem to be incapable of making one plot last a whole episode. Meh

3/5

weak
I know it's not right to critique the show's reality (because obviously they're not too concerned that they stay grounded) but how does Carter go from almost shooting Peter to being able to live and work with him? I know, they don't consider reality, but the fact that character's don't respond to situations in any sensible or understandable manner makes the show increasingly difficult to watch.

And the Family Guy rule of "if you do anything long enough it becomes funny" just dosn't work anymore. It was great when Peter fell on the sidewalk, but there's no need for an awkward elongated gag in every single episode.

I thought the episode was better than the last couple we've seen from Family Guy. My favorite was the stewie parts, and the selling pot to Meg, I laughed my ass off. Besides that it was just more or less an average Family Guy.

3.5/5

3.5/5 - It was pretty good, but I wish the plot had focused more on Peter and his book writing than him and Carter trying different get rich quick schemes. The beginning was much funnier than the rest, and the plot seemed really unfocused

2/5

Mediocre. A very weak episode. Yes, not as bad a last weeks but it has become more and more apparent to me that FG is a mere shadow of it's former self. I'm getting really tired of every story relating to sex, the surplus of sex innuendo, jokes where a character is talking over another (and vice versa) and completely random references to actors. Sure, they've been doing the references since the beginning but it seems like they are just taking 4 or 5 stabs per episode because they can.

However, I did enjoy a few jokes, notably the Tracy Ullman joke.

<b>4/5</b>

Had its good and bad parts.

things i enjoyed:
-TRACEY ULLMAN - the best thing about this episode :>, stewie's accent, which was still british, but veeeery diffrent, peter's voice, chris' voice (bart had a more masculine voice in the ullman shorts too, and the drawings)
-Joe's curiosity about the sexdolls, and Clevelands response
-meg in the mall
-Stewie's making a joke and making sure that brian heard it
-"did i mention he was robot? cause that's kinda important. yeah, robot, awesome"
-peter's books
-a jug with barbed wire, salt and 5 bucks.
-stewie's plot
-stewie's macintosh
-"the hot chick who was italian or maybe some kinda spanish" - sweet
-thinking with grenades
-the fact that peter spends 900 $ to distract Lois, and they get like 10 bucks from it
:D
-selling weed to Meg
-Quahog Creeks theme song
-the great train robbery :D, the honesty there, lol !
-Lois telling Peter that she once rejected 10 million dollars from her father and Peter imagining killing her :D

things i didnt like:
-the opening sentence, with Quagmire, he's just not funny ;x
-rancor sequence. love the starwars, but didnt find that funny
-the rat family
-the whole - peter teaches mr.pewterschmidt how to live, the fact that the old one cant do anything. kinda ripping off the simpsons (mr.burns)
-julia roberts ;x, not funny
-reene zellwelger, "the picnic"
-the red jug - dunno whats that about
-Quahog Creeks

overall, it was pretty good. With the exception of maybe a handful of gags, I thought it mostly delivered. While not on par with the best of season 1-3 (pre-hiatus), it still had the "feel" of an episode from that period IMO...... 3.5/5

thang: the "red jug" was the Kool-Aid Man, who also appeared in the pilot episode (and maybe others, but I can't remember). In TV commercials from days of yore, Kool-Aid Man's calling card was busting through the wall, hence the "reverse" gag on FG.....

he was also in stewie griffins untold story, if i remember correctly

Yeah even though the kool aid joke was bringing back an old character it still would've worked well in a season 3 type cutaway.
