Yes, this episode was over the top... WAY over the top. Definitely not for children or the "weak of stomach". I sat dumbfounded as the story unfolded, and amazed how this got past the censors. That being said, I also laughed my rear end off at the antics of Stewie and Brian as they waded through the difficulties of pregnancy, ridiculous as it was. The scene at the doctor's office was hysterical, as was the trip to the park.
However, I do understand how some viewers could be offended by the nature of the storyline. To say the concept was in bad taste is an understatement... but bad taste is what Family Guy is all about. One can shake their head while viewing and offer derogatory comments, but the fact remains that MacFarlane has pushed his form of comedy to the limits... and for me, it works.
