Family Guy (TV Series) The Former Life of Brian (2008) User Reviews

After a long wait arrives a new episode.

[MairegChernet · 10/10 · 28 April 2008]

For those wondering what the title of this episode is, it is called The Former Life Of Brian. It just premiered on fox last night, and yes it was awesome. It had the typical family guy humor, with 90% hilarious but sometimes prolonged jokes. One thing that became apparent in this episode was Stewie's ( knowing or unknowing) homosexuality. I don't know why the creators decided to transform this maniacal evil genius into a sassy and bold homosexual guy. It's still funny though, not that I am complaining or anything.

In this episode Brian finds out that he has a long lost son and decides to do his fatherly duties. Enough said.

Awesome episode. I loved it, and I can't wait for LONG JOHN PETER to arrive next week.

The Former Life Of Brian (6.11)

This episode centres around Brian finding out he has a son (despite only being 7).

It's 20+ minutes of absolute crap! Not a single laugh out loud moment! Which is weird because I have loved every episode of Family Guy up until now.

The pacing was off, the gags were all just miss, and it just seemed that the writers don't care about the fans.

They even go to a length to explain how Brian can have a son, but then say , to an effect, that they don't care, just go online and complain, and yes, I know that this in itself is a joke, it's also an admission of being EXTREMELY lazy. I hope that the writing for the rest of this season is better than this.

On another side note, is it me or is Stewie being a flamboyant homosexual baby slightly perverse??? This episode just went way too far with gay innuendo that it was embarrassing.

If anyone asked me about family guy, id say it was a fantastic show... however this episode was trash.
