Family Guy (TV Series) Space Cadet (2013) User Reviews

The One Where The Griffins Go Into Space...

[taylorkingston · 7/10 · 31 May 2015]

I think this episode is super funny. It's interesting and completely different, yet still familiar enough to be called a Family Guy episode.

In this episode, Lois and Peter find out that Chris isn't doing well in school and they become worried about his future. Since Chris overheard them talking, he convinces Lois and Peter to send him to space camp. Because he has trouble fitting in, he calls his family to come and get him. But when there, the family accidentally get launched into space, and it's up to Chris to get them back home.

Overall, I give this episode, a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

The show start's with a Monty Python's style opening. Chris in school reads out an essay about his teacher and when she was not impressed Lois and Peter are called into a meeting with the principal. They are told Chris is not doing well. While at home that night after watching Breaking Bad Lois now worried about Chris announces she is embarrassed by Chris. Chris overhears them making fun of him and runs off crying. The next morning Lois and Peter try to act like nothing happened but Chris is still depressed for them calling him stupid. Brian mentions that Chris should go to camp. Lois and Peter give him pamphlets for camp so he picks going to space camp even though Lois does not think he should. The family go on a tour and then Chris is left to have fun. Chris for quickly does not think he belongs in space camp so he calls home to be taken home. When the family arrive at camp they go into the shuttle and when Stewie sees a bright red button he presses it launching the family into space. The space centre calls the Griffin's in space telling them about their fame. They get another call that they can get home through auto pilot but Peter then breaks the radio and it is up to the family to try get home by themselves. Chris presses a button which helps but then the family hurdle to earth and it is up to Chris to save the day. The family return home safe and everyone celebrates that Chris is not stupid. OK episode with some usual lines from Peter but some scenes felt out of place.

EPISODE GRADE: B- (MVP: Seth Green)
