Its been called 'trite' as well as 'tried and true'. Either way, the fact is that Family Guy is a very formulaic production (and God bless the manatees for it). There is TV you watch and TV you see, and while there was was a time when its novelty made Family Guy a show to be watched, that time has passed. Still, Peter and the gang manage to mildly amuse on a fantastically consistent basis. I will say however that this episode was a far cry from the show's heyday and that it disappointed on the promise of its halloween theme. As far as I'm concerned Stewie and Brian together make up the engine that powers the show, and in this episode, sadly, they fell victim to creative negligence on the parts of the writers. Seeable though.
Episode Rating:
4 (Acceptably mediocre TV)
Episode's Best line:
"I didn't feel anything. But you did." - Joe (To Quagmire)
