That was the best new family guy since the Mel Gibson one, in my opinion.

Odd, I thought this was by far the worst of the new season. Almost all of the jokes just fell flat, and I thought both of the plots were lame(especially the Chris one, that should've been one ten second gag, not the main focus of the show)

Yeah, I wasn't feeling this episode at all. The thing with Stewie mocking Brian suffered for the same reason the whole gag with Peter scraping his knee did. It wasn't funny in the first place, but they still dragged it out for like a minute. And this time they did it twice.

What the hell is Stewie doing?!

Read my post...he's being sarcastic, just taking it to the extreme and getting higher in pitch with every "point" he makes regarding Brian's way-long-overdue novel.

That 3-way joke was a little.......much. :S

Overall, I really liked this episode. The Stewie "higher pitched as new point is made" thing was hilarious.

Yeah. They tried WAY to hard to be weird with the plots, and the Bachelorette one defied all plausibility -- yes, even in the context of the show as a whole, it was implausible.

I think I've been enjoying "American Dad" a lot more. Maybe my expectations of "Family Guy's" new season was just too high. :)

"Where da whiteheadz at?" :lol

This episode was classic, as are all the new eps. As long as I've been imagining this show getting a comeback, these episodes have been everything I've ever dreamed of. As far as I'm concerned, there should be more recurring characters like the doctor and old man.

I remember more plot that this before the cancellation. Now its like 2x the pop culture ref's and even less plot.

This episode feelt like robot chicken in a way. OMG ITS A CARTOON CHAR DOING SOMETHING ZANY!

This season's Family Guy definitely has a lot more of the..

"like that time [noun:person] [verb:action] [pop_culture_reference]"
::10-30 second flashback thing::

I really watch the show for Stewie, and wish he'd have larger parts. Chris and Meg can screw off...I hate either of them getting anymore than a minute of talk-time per episode.

And yes, the thing with Stewie talking about Brian writing his novel was quite funny to those of us who are into literature.

I'm kinda disappointed in Family Guy lately... I thought the return episode was great, too

Definitely. Every episode since that first new one have been getting worse and worse. I only laughed at the Quagmire mom joke and Brian calling that girl over and over again. Everything else fell flat and it bothered me because it reminded me of the new unfunny Simpsons: no LOL moments, just a flood of really forced, barely chuckle-worthy laughs.

Damn you guys are picky. With the exception of last weeks episode (by far the weakest so far this season) this season has been awesome.

I thought the zit thing was great. I mean Chris was making the turn into adolescence. When kids do this they tend to do stupid things like play pranks, vandalize and other things. Family Guy just gave the reason that the zit (symbol of adolescence) was LITERALLY forcing chris to do those things and just gave it a little shop of horrors theme.

The Snorks and He-Man gag were CLASSIC! Right up there with one of my all time favorite gags of the Kool-Aid Man busting into the courthouse.

So far this season the one where Loretta leaves Cleveland has been my favorite and this was right up there with it. This one just needed a song like You've Got AIDS or Rock Lobster to be perfect.

And no one can deny "Hey baby, how would you like to go black and then have to make the difficult decision reguarding whether or not to go back"

This episode had too much good material to list it all here.
