![]() ![]() Yes, I’m saying the following about Family Guy: It feels like there were numerous opportunities for pop-culture references that were never seized. The B-plot with Peter and Meg does a lot of heavy lifting here, and while abusing Meg has always been a staple of the show, they go so far that it gets hard to watch at times. That bit could’ve been a cutaway gag in any other episode. The duo really only makes one stop along the way to Gettysburg National Cemetery (because… reasons). They hitchhiked most of the way there (off camera, no less). We really don’t see Brian and Stewie go on an adventure here. Lois arranges for Meg to drive Peter around until he gets his license back. Meanwhile, Peter gets his license suspended after trying to jump his car over a row of cars on the street. Brian and Stewie discover that the neighbor who bought Rupert moved away to Aspen, Colorado, setting the pair off on their cross-country adventure to get Rupert back. In this episode, Brian accidentally sells Stewie’s teddy bear Rupert at the Griffin’s yard sale. And since our main editorial rule is that if it’s worth analyzing, it’s worth overanalyzing, we’re gonna rate them on story, quality of the jokes, casual watchability, the big song-and-dance numbers and their iMDb rating - because what the hell do we know? So, we’re gonna rank these classic Family Guy “Road To…” episodes from worst to best. These installments are parodies/homages to the classic Road To… Bob Hope/Bing Crosby musical comedies of the 1940s, with each featuring the megalomaniacal infant Stewie Griffin and the family’s talking dog Brian going off on wacky adventures spanning across the country, around the world, through time and into the multiverse. With its nothing-is-sacred brand of irreverent humor and constant barrage of pop culture references, the show has always strived to subvert everyone’s expectations.īut out of the 400 total episodes (and counting), there are eight in particular that we’re covering today: the “Road To…” episodes. ![]() After 21 seasons, Family Guy has cemented its place in television history. ![]()
