Family Guy: Love Blactually [season premiere]
By fred | September 29, 2008
(S07E01) Sunday nights are animated again, as Fox series were returning to the air this Sunday. And along the the Simpsons another crazy family were back, the Griffins. Last season was short and quite uneven for Family Guy, with some terrific episodes as well as some pretty disappointing ones. When looking back though, one of the best episode last season had to offer was probably its season premiere, the famous Blue Harvest.
It’s going to be a very tough to try and top this one, and if you try to do a comparison you won’t like this episode. But the truth is that, in all fairness, even in itself this first episode wasn’t all that great. Looks like it had all it needs to be a hit, namely putting the focus of the episode on Brian and Stewie, as we all know how those are the greatest, and yet it wasn’t really there, and the laughs were missing…

(S07E02) Last week the show was back, but I thought it wasn’t really a good episode. Not really because we didn’t get to see all the different characters of the show, even though they were less than for your typical episode, but because they tried to have one full story over the entire episode, it was very low on those classic jokes that are just thrown it, sure, but are also quite hilarious, in the end it just wasn’t really funny.
(S07E03) Last week’s episode was absolutely hilarious, and a much needed great episode after a season premiere which turned out to be quite disappointing and, quite honestly, not very funny. It was a real pain, because if there are characters on this show that usually always are the funniest and make for the best moments, it’s without a doubt the couple of Stewie and Brian.
(S07E04) The season premiere was disappointing, but other than that we’re getting a really good and very funny season of Family Guy so far! Last week we had a special episode, a new Road To with Stewie and Brian involved in their latest time travel adventure. This week was more of a return to basis, to what made the show what it is and made us laughs so much all those years.
(S07E05) Except for a disappointing season premiere, this season has been on a roll so far and last week was your typical perfect episode of Family Guy, one filled with many jokes and pop references thrown all over the place as the show knows how to do so well. Sometime it’s been criticized for it, but I always thought that’s when the show is at its best, when it does what it knows to do best unlike trying to do what everybody else does.
(S07E06) I was disappointed by last week’s episode, which I thought failed to be really funny, especially once the Jackass parody was over. It might be taste, but as far as I’m concerned Family Guy is never as hilarious as when it doesn’t try to do anything else but what but does best : throw at us one joke after the other, regardless of whether or not it really makes sense, much less is part of an actual bigger story.
