Dethroning Moment of Suck (Darth Wiki)/Western Animation/Family Guy: Difference between revisions

== Seasons 1-3 (Pre-Revival) ==

* fluffything: To prove not everything pre-revival was a classic, we have the Season 1 episode ''Brian: Portrait of A Dog'', which shows the dog's [[Black Hole Sue]] tendencies went as far back as the first season. Why? Well, at first, the episode starts out great with Brian feeling Peter doesn't respect him and Peter also feeling Brian doesn't appreciate him causing the former to run away. But, then it goes completely downhill after Brian runs away and we are subjected to many many parallels to the 1960s "Civil Rights" movements. No, just, no. It's a bad comparison for many reasons. First, equating a dog's (albeit a human-level intelligent one) problems with "leash laws" to the "Jim Crow" laws is just insulting on so many levels I don't know where to begin. Second, the indignities that minorities had to endure were far worse than Brian not being allowed to drink at a fountain or having to wear a leash for his own protection. And, finally, the parallel just doesn't work because most dogs in the series are realistic animal-minded dogs (About the only dogs in [[Family Guy]] that are of human level intelligence are Brian, New Brian (Deceased), Jasper, and the Griffin's old dog before they got Brian (I can't remember his name)). This isn't Brian asking for equal rights for his species. This is Brian complaining about not being treated "special" because he's a talking dog.

* [[User:The Irish Insomniac]]: I don't know if I'll be courting controversy by saying this, but I really and truly did not care for Season Two's(Or whatever season it was, due to network shuffling)"Let's Go To The Hop". The reason why, is well, rather simple, I thought it was an extremely boring episode, that somehow managed to irritate me at the same time. That cringe-inducing song in the middle, the unfunny cutaways(Keep in mind the first three seasons had the highest standard of humor and writing, in my opinion)and how whiny Meg was throughout. Peter's neglect didn't help much either, nor that damn Connie character. I can see why the writing staff don't like writing for Meg, because that episode was inoffensive to the point of well, being offensive, and when you're writing for "Family Guy", that should be your number one priority:make us laugh and make us give a damn. Seth once said "Fore Father" was the weakest episode of the first three seasons, but I'm inclined to disagree.
