I use to really like Family Guy (especially the older ones) but episodes like this make this show very hard to like now. I can't believe how awful this episode was and this episode is all the proof you need to see how lazy the producers were and how bad the writing has become. I'm going to get right down to the point. This episode was pure garbage. The episode tries to make fun of O.J Simpson. I mean O.J? Isn't that a little old and hasn't the O.J case been done many years ago? We know he did it, America does. Get over it, he's in jail now.
The O.J thing is only the very beginning and is actually the least bad thing about this episode. Once again, the writers try to start the story out with a plot and then change it half way through the episode to another plot(where the O.J plot begins). It starts with Peter being irresponsible and acting like an idiot as usual. Lois is leaving him alone and he has to watch Stewie which of course he does a horrible job (who didn't see that coming). Then, they make Peter act like a teenage girl and have him invite Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland over for a sleep over which included, gossip, pillow fights, making out (I'm not kidding) and fighting which of course ended with Peter throwing up (which I may add is only a recycled animation). It gets even worse now, when Lois comes home, of course she's upset. Peter didn't watch Stewie and he ends up on the roof. What this episode does now totally ruined the entire episode and was downright inexcusable and VERY VERY VERY unfunny.
I have two words for you: Conway Twitty. Yes, Peter tells the audience hopefully this video of Conway Twitty will make Lois forget about their fight. Then the shows switches over to a Conway Twitty video. I'm not kidding. The video lasted for 3-4 minutes. Yes, seriously. They show the ENTIRE music video. This show has a knack for overdoing random jokes that are unfunny and that last way too long but this one was over the top. I had to change the channel. I turn back a minute later and it was still going. I changed the channel a second time. A minute later, I go back and it's STILL on!!!!! I don't understand what the writers were thinking. Oh wait, I do know, nothing. They had nothing good to write about so they decided to filter the episode with Conway Twitty to pass the time. I'm so disgusted by that. What does Seth think his fans are, retards? This episode was just an insult to the audience. Was that joke added to make us change the channel on purpose? Overall this episode is all the proof you need to see that this show is on the decline and that the writers have run out of any worthwhile material. There are obviously very few idea balls left in their manatee tank.
Oh, I forgot to finish summarizing the episode; so the 2nd half of the episode is with Peter hanging out with O.J. I don't even feel like summarizing the rest because it's not funny anyways and the Conway Twitty gag completely killed the episode anyways. My final word is this episode was awful and I would recommend to any fans of the show to skip this episode and never watch it. This episode is a huge insult to any fans of the show. This episode is a huge miss and if you watch the whole Conway Twitty video, that's 3-4 minutes of your life you can't get back. Don't say I didn't warn you.
