Family Guy (TV Series) No Meals on Wheels (2007) User Reviews

Not offensive to me!

Peterland978: Maybe I missed it, but what exactly are you offended by? I am a person with a disability and I found the references to "handicapped people" in this episode hilarious! Maybe it's because I have a disability. I believe my 35 years of being a wheelchair user means I can laugh at the absurdity and satire in this episode about people with disabilities. It cracked me up! Unfortunately, in the real world there are owners of restaurants and other establishments that do get concerned when too many of "us" become regular customers.

It's refreshing sometimes to sit back and watch a cartoon pokes fun at very real and serious issues instead of advocating against physical and attitudinal barriers 24/7!

Joke changed???

They were "feeding" pyjamas not "feety" whatever that means ??

I just rewatched this on Stan! And they've changed the Patrick Stewart " vocal cords" joke. That was disappointing.

"No Meals on Wheels" is a very stiff episode

I was very disappointed with this episode. There's not many Family Guy episodes I don't like. But so far, I think this is the worst. Yeah, there are very funny gags and jokes, but sadly, it doesn't help. The episode starts out going in multiple directions. Anyway, it ends up with Peter buying "feety" pajamas at a store and discovering what static electricity can do. To stop it, the carpet gets ripped up to find a rare coin, which is worth enough to fund Peter's dream, to buy a restaurant. Joe takes his, what seems like millions, of handicapped friends and Peter decides not to allow them in. It gets into a brawl.

I'm surprise they could air this because I thought it was pretty offensive to handicapped people, and I'm not handicapped and I rarely find Family Guy humor offensive (except when it comes to my religion, but that's a different story ). I also found it stupid how many handicapped friends Joe has, and how Peter's restaurant becomes "the place" for handicapped people to eat at. I found it sad that Mike Henry wrote this episode (voice of Cleaveland, Herbert, Performance Artist, Greased up Deaf Guy, etc.) especially when he wrote great episodes like "The Cleaveland-Loretta Quagmire" and "Patriot Games." I can't figure out what else drives me insane about this episode right now, so I think it's safe to say I didn't like it. ( I Give it */*****)
