I Mean It's Kinda Better Than The Last One?
13 October 2020
Classic Family Guy, wasting/padding the time of the episode with 2 minutes of dragged joke to the point that it's not funny anymore! Although the plot of the last episode was better but not well executed, this one at least it made me laugh a couple of times unlike the last one. One weird thing is, that both Family Guy and American Dad are 20 minutes per episode, yet American Dad episodes feel like a 30 or even 45 minutes episode with solid plots and a beginning, middle and ending, Family Guy on the other hand feels like it's just 10 minutes and they cut most of the scenes and you have this "quick go to every plot point and just to next plot unrelated scene" feel to it that is just kinda pointless. And all of that is because of the pointlessness of the plot, you have a fairly mediocre plot but you don't progress anything and characters just do things and they don't advance the plot. Like the other reviewer said; Peter in this episode gets tall, go to the bar then go the park and then comes back and he doesn't want to be tall anymore. Like what was the point? How is it that American Dad can do a intriguing plot in 20 minutes like you're watching a movie but this show is just cutaway gags and most of the scenes are boring and rather cringy?

Hire new writers, please! save this damn show, it's time to change the writers and make Family Guy like the way it was back then, and if not then what's the point of this lazy writing and animation and everything? This show has gotten lazy for the past few seasons and it's a shame, either get new writers or just end the show.
