Season 10 - Episode 4
Fox (US)
Family Guy is about as hit and miss a comedy show as you're likely to see. Of the two plots here, one is hit and one is miss.
Peter is stuck in a ridiculous plot where Ryan Reynolds (voiced by himself) falls in love with him. Peter loves hanging out with a Hollywood movie star - even though it's about the fifth time it's actually happened to him - until he realises Reynolds' intentions are romantic. Reynolds insists that he's not gay and just attracted to Peter's spirit. It's a stupid plot with very few laughs, typical of much of what they do with Peter. Running out of ideas it seems.
Elsewhere, Stewie thinks he has driven Brian's car after he accidentally moves it forward slightly. Later, he decides to go for a drive, crashing the car when he tries to win tickets to a Justin Bieber concert. When Brian finds out ad threatens to tell Lois about it, Stewie runs away, only to be found by Consuela. A riduculous, but funny showdown kicks off when Brian comes to pick up Stewie, and I'm left wondering why the rest of the episode couldn't have been that good.
Overall, it's an episode of Family Guy that is completely all over the place, which seems to sum the show up a little too well.
