Featured review
Great Season Closer
I really enjoyed this one.
For a show that revolves around silly gags and puerile jokes, this episode has a surprising amount of heart and emotion. We really feel for Brian and his struggle to be accepted and the lick he gives Peter at the end is heartbreakingly sweet.
The most hilarious scene for me is when Peter & Brian are transported back into an old timey cartoon about fixin' the shed. It's great & adorable.
A superb episode that expertly balances the laughs with a genuine story.
