Family Guy - "Foreign Affairs" - Talkback [5/15]

New rule for Family Guy!: For every two good short, simple, funny jokes. (Muppet sight-seeing and American Dad with Joe) there is one long, awfully horrendous, not at all related to the episode, segment that is intended to be funny. But fails. :shrug:


Ha..his name is Franswa...
 
Personally, I loved it, because it's literally the greatest music video of all time. David Bowie? Mick Jagger? Dancing ridiculously? Worth every minute.
 
A lot of cutaways tonight too. Feels like a refugee from season seven.

I'm looking forward to next season, for the sole reason being that we'll finally get a real season finale, not a chopped up, shortened TV premiere of an episode we all saw on DVD/blu-ray six months earlier.
 
Great episode :anime:
My favorite parts are Muppet Sight Seeing,Peter naked on a scooter,The Desert Scene,and Quagmire on Joe XD
 
That music video REALLY killed this episode. The muppet and Quagmire things were really good, but honestly I found this episode to be really weak. Needed more Stewie and Brian, they always make them better. And they could've made fun of Meg, they pretty much made her pointless in this episode...
 
Yeah, the music video pretty much dropped this episode to a B or C grade (depending on the reviewer, as it did was decent outside of that).

As for the lack of Stewie and Brian, three words for that: last week's episode.
 
Disagree about the Meg part, I'm glad they didn't go that tired old route with her. But I do agree about everything else, that music video was ridiculous and an extremely lazy way to kill time. There was no reason at all to show that whole darn thing.:sad:
 
Wasn't sure if Joe and Bonnie's relationship was going to make it through that one. The Family Guy cast has been shaken up quite a bit over the last few years, especially among the married couples, so it wouldn't have surprised me if Joe had wound up a swinging single again. He definitely deserves better than what he has.
 
Yeah, Bonnie's lame (her only defining characteristic was being eternally pregnant, and now she isn't). But so many Quahog citizens have lost their spouses by now, I'd hate to see it yet again.

The writing credit looked like two freelancers who'd never written for this show before, so I was expecting something a bit different. It turns out they LOVED the cutaway-heavy era, so there was.....alla that.
