Disappointing
Let me be clear: this is not a terrible episode, but it has a lot of problems.
First, let's start off with the positives. There were a few good jokes here and there. Natalja reading the increasingly depressing storybook to Stewie, the Clevelandcopter, Top Gun with public domain music, the Mickey Mouse joke (Man, these guys really hate Walt Disney don't they?) and the final joke for the ending was actually pretty funny. The action sequence while brief offered some enjoyment.
The problem however is that for all intents and purposes the episode lacks a clear focus. The first act is all about Peter and the goats, which is not quite among the funniest of Peter's escapades and I didn't laugh at any of the puns. The nanny is amusing enough, not hilarious, but amusing. The few scenes she does appear in are fine. However, how she just disappears after saving Stewie was poorly done. Where did she go? Peter and Lois trying to bond with each other has been done a million times, but at first it wasn't all that bad. I liked them gossiping about other couples. But once their trip starts turning sour, it becomes unpleasant to watch. They start yelling at each other, and you're wondering how this will resolve considering there only are 3 minutes left. It's all solved by them looking at their family waving. Really? Could you get any more clichéd?
And about the jokes, while a couple of them worked, there were a lot of awkward and stupid ones this time around. Peter going "wait a minute", Peter exhaling (It wasn't even funny the first time, why would it be funny the second time around?), Lois and Peter talking in slow- motion, the hippo joke...
Overall, it was just mediocre. I loved the first episode of this season, and for what it was I even liked the second episode. But this one felt like it just rushed its way through with no real quality control on the story or jokes. I really hope the next one is better.
Update: I no longer agree with every part of this review. This episode isn't one of the better ones of season 16, but I found more stuff funny this time around.
