This episode is such a long time coming. It's AWESOME how Family Guy can create humour on its own identity as a show in a way that sort of socks it to the haters but is also self-deprecating.
FG is one of the most audacious and pioneering shows on TV and it deserves recognition (once it stops those horrific flatulent jokes) but people won't recognise it because it's so ahead of its time. Maybe. I dunno...
This week our heroes took an axe to the culture of media awards, wittily demolishing the shows that get this critical approval without missing a note. I love how they send up and mock the formulas of serious things but never without a sort of loving contempt.
it's sort of a trio of stories but we also get a wraparound that makes the whole thing run as one smooth crusade against the snobs. I have mixed feelings about Clare from Modern Family just not getting FG but once again I do respect FG for actually giving the enemy a voice. That is a real credit it them in my opinion.
