Family Guy - "Peter's Progress" - Talkback [5/17]

Thanks, MoS. I figured as much...

Well, loved the musical part of this episode.

'What the hell?! I didn't know we could rip off movies!'
 
This is probably something that sounded a lot funnier in the writers room but probably shouldn't have been in the episode. It was sort of funny, but it killed the flow of the episode just as it was starting.



In the show's defense, they reference lots of stuff that isn't funny. Hitler technically shouldn't be funny, but there have been lots of Hilter rifffs on this show.

Am I the first to mention the fourth wall breaking joke about how odd the character profiles are. I'm so glad they stopped doing those, especially Stewie.
 
Why is everyone coming up with these silly excuses? The ratings speak for themselves. The Survivor 3 hour finale and the Desperate Housewives 2 hour finale aired last night. Both of these got about twice as many viewers as the Fox comedy block. I know I personally just got done catching up with all of these shows online.

Anyway, I'm surprised more people didn't mention the How I Met Your Mother gag. That made the episode for me. That show is absolutely terrible. I only watch it because it comes on after The Big Bang Theory(and the ratings would seem to indicate that I'm not the only one). It's one of those terrible sitcoms where they spend more time on relationship drama than comedy. Oh, and the theme song sucks too.
 
True. Which is why I tend to avoid the talkbacks until the episode finishes airing. I don't need a play-by-play of what happened since I am trying to watch and enjoy it.

After all the only thing that would have delay me from seeing this would have been my Brother Graduation, which was the only thing I did over the weekend of importance.
 
Wow, bad episode. And to be honest, not a very good season either. I think that Family Guy may have completed its transition to where the Simpsons was about ten years earlier. In 1999, The Simpsons became past its prime. And in 2009, I think Family Guy is now past its prime. It's understandable in both cases. After each show set itself such a high standard, it's only a matter of time before the creators of the show are unable to keeps producing seasons at such a high level.
 
Then may I recommend you go and watch Die Hard immediately. All men should see Die Hard at least twice. If you still didn't like it either time, watch it a third! Die Hard is to men what meat is to a sandwhich: without one, the other is incomplete.

Watching Die Hard is a right of passage all men should of gone through, and I hope you'll understand this lesson when you get older. I did when I first saw it, and I'll never look back.
 
I may be able to forgive you for never watching an episode of Survivor, but I don't think never watching an episode of Desperate Housewives is forgiveable.
