The episode where Stewie's head cracks open... That's awful...

Now before I begin my review/rant, I just wanna say I'm really confused on these ratings people give to certain episodes. Like some good episodes get low ratings while the worst get good ones. Why? Do people like bad episodes more than good ones?

Anyway, here's my review/rant on Brian Griffin's House Of Payne. I like how it begins with Stewie imaging himself in space shooting people. But it all goes downhill when the actual plots begin.

Main plot: Brian makes a sitcom, but gets ruined by James Woods. Not much to say about it. Just boring and forgettable. But the side plot, oh God it's even worse.

Chris and Meg accidentally push Stewie down the stairs, causing Stewie's head to crack open and become unconscious. So instead of taking to a doctor, they cover up and not tell anyone. I understand that's more realistic, but come on it's a baby with his head busted open! You're suppose to take them to a doctor!

So then Peter finds out and guess what he does...

If you don't know, he tries to cover it up too! I'm not kidding. How does he cover it up? By having Lois accidentally run Stewie over making it look like she was the one who caused it! I am dead serious that actually happens. So when they FINALLY take Stewie to the hospital, everything goes back to normal. And that's how it ends.

Oh did I mention since this is a season 8 episode, the head cracked open looks grotesque? Yeah they made it worse as the episode goes on. And there's even a scene where a raccoon starts tearing up Stewie's head! Jesus! This episode is full of child abuse! I'm surprised this wasn't banned from television, because this is an outrage. I have never seen any other episode do this crap.

So my rating: 1/10 For being boring, gross, and just cruel.

Boring Main Plot, Horrible B-Plot

This episode is down right terrible, the main plot is so boring, it's just Brian trying to make a show, only to have James Woods come in and change everything about it, plus it's not really that funny.

However, it's not the worst part of it, no, the worst part of this episode is the B-Plot, which is probably one of the worst plots ever done in Family Guy. It involves Stewie accidentally having his head cracked open by Meg & Chris, who try to cover it up at first, with Meg later on wanting to take Stewie to the hospital, but nobody listens to her (because it's Season 8 of Family Guy, and Meg is a punching bag still), only to have Peter come in and find out, with it ending up with Peter throwing Stewie under the car when Lois is backing up, to try and pin the blame her. It's actually disgusting.
