This episode both had nice plots, and Peter had one suited to him. But, where did the other bosses go? Did they ever explain that? Luckily there was little Doug, but still enough to be annoying. Seriously, why do they keep putting him in episodes? Unbearable. But, there was a few very good laughs. Like Stewie as an old man.. that was hilarious. They need to get a Joe episode going!! He is hilarious and they don't give Peter AND the guys much screentime anymore. I didn't feel disappointed after watching this and was very happy.

Pretty funny

Pretty funny, in my mind! The Stewie plot was quite absurd (he turns into a hardened "criminal" after spending a day in detention), which had a touch of Shawshank Redemption to it. It's nice to see Peter and his love for celebrating office birthdays (that's fun, right?). Not sure why there is yet another new boss at the brewery. Cutaways were good, overall.
Hilarious episode!

Boring

Honestly this episode was disappointing, the main story was boring and resolved too quickly. The B plot with Stewie while being an ok concept wasn't fleshed out enough and was also resolved way to quickly. Hopefully next weeks episode makes up for this lackluster episode.
This show should

Have finished when Adam west died because he was the one that made it somewhat funny but now it's boring why do I keep watching because I might like a episode but that hasn't happened yet last episode I enjoyed was the James wood's episodes so maybe they should bring him back.
Dismember two old episodes to create one "new"

Warning: Spoilers
It seems that the old viewers of the show are gone, otherwise it cannot be explained why no one noticed the obvious parallels with the episode Friends of Peter G. (season 9, episode 10) and Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High (4 seson, 2 episode). Peter still secretly supplies alcohol and hides one room in another, like in 9s 10e, only this time, it is not Brian, like in 4s 2e, who gets into class for thugs, but Stewie. Only this time a parody of Dead Poets Society is shown in Peter's story.
Borrowing ideas from old seasons is not surprising, because nowadays this show is terrible. But this does not justify the author's laziness and incompetence, as well as the "jokes" that "Oh, we in slavery at Disney". Yes, the writers are self-aware, but the truth itself is not funny.
The only good thing about this episode is the new director. He's boring and doesn't know how to have fun, but it's for purpose and therefore funny. In any case, this is an almost perfect replacement for the previous directors - an interracial couple whose names no one remembers because they were too bland characters. I almost feel sorry for these characters, because they were replaced without explanation and no one remembers them. But this replacement is for good.
