Lois Is A Star
22 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Lois is fed up of housework, asks Peter to help her more around the house. She starts by asking Peter to take Chris to his soccer game and head straight home after. Peter gets coerced into staying by Quagmire to drink beer. After a man makes fun of Chirs, Peter punches her. The he turns out to be a "she" and pregnant as well. Peter is forced to be house arrested. Lois thinks it is an opportunity to get Peter to spend quality time with her. Bored out of his wits, Peter gets an inspiration to build the "Old Ye Pub" down in his basement, so his friends can hang out with him. The experiment is a success. Peter's plan backfires when Lois starts performing on stage. Meanwhile, Stewie has a searing toothache that is driving him mad. I love Family Guy. Even though Peter can be a complete imbecile, he's very funny most of the time, despite how obnoxious he is. I don't enjoy this episode as much as the others, simply because it isn't as clever as a lot of Family Guy episodes are. I'm used to Peter being selfish beyond belief, but if I was in Lois shoes, I would slap him silly for the shenanigans he pulls in this one. Tracking mud in the house? That would infuriate me. Seth McFarlane's gag of the "He-Woman" is so ludicrous that is hilarious. Seth does some of his outrageous stuff, such as Stewy getting drunk to alleviate his teething problems. He takes a shot at Tim Allen, Minto commercial, and even has teeth talking. It is funny, clever, and very entertaining. It just isn't one of my favorites, but I do like it
