Worst Episode
Probably one of the least
thought up topics in Family Guy’s long list of areas to discuss is
which episode stinks upon the golden embedded ones. Many say there
is no ‘bad’ episode of Family Guy, and while they may be somewhat
right that doesn’t answer the question. Which episode is the worst
of all-time?
To begin this process we must eliminate all the classics. “Love Thy
Trophy” see ya later, to-da-le-do “Wasted Talent”. This process is
probably the hardest, every fan has a personal favorite episode but
we now must examine the “terrible episodes”.
We begin with the first truly flawed episode of Family Guy in the
mind of many FG experts, “A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Bucks”. To
refresh your memory this is the episode in which Chris becomes an
artist. Once he is the property of a New York gallery owner. The
story to begin with seems farfetched but isn’t that what every FG
story is. Okay well let’s examine the comedy, well there little to
be found. The episode is intriguing enough to watch, but there’s not
much going on.
The next episode we come across that is painfully bad is “The Story
on Page One” which just happens to be written by the same writer who
wrote “A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Bucks”. The two episodes fail
for the different reasons. Here we have an episode about Meg. Ask
any FG fan and they’d tell you that the show would be better off if
she didn’t exist. Meg just doesn’t have anything distinct for her;
she’s a loser who doesn’t do it anything but have a crush on some TV
star.
In conclusion, these episodes may be bad for Family Guy’s standards
but they’re still much more enjoyable to watch than 80% of the other
pathetic shows on television these days.
