The latest Meg-centric episode hammered home one of the common issues when this long-running animated series chooses to go the route of focusing on that much maligned character: they turn to too many cheap shots.
Meg and her arrogant disgusting personality does not really translate to laughs. Obsessing over a french bread pizza with pepperoni on it is just weird, even for her.
But the plot at the heart of "White Meg Can't Jump" was not all that bad. Peter taunting her leading to her succeeding worked as a plot device, and as a Hoosiers fan I loved that they incorporated a lot of the soundtrack in the show tonight.
