I loved the subplot of Stewie trying to impress Chris and Brian and then ending when he shoots them for lying to his face again was honestly kinda satisfying lol
I like that the episode where Lois stole the shampoo bottle had a fun moment where you can see Joe and Bonnie actually doing something together that doesn't involve Bonnie hating on Joe but rather having Bonnie helping Joe by and using his experience as a cop to check if Lois was also stealing something from their house.
That’s because Bonnie is a miserable imp who hates her friend Lois, and she tries smear any wrong of Lois, even though sometimes she no better than Lois (she burst in the Griffin’s house to call Lois a slut for being in a porno, even though Bonnie used to be a stripper). Of course she’ll play along with Joe,he’s helping her get her temporarily thrills that she needs, because their family life is pathetic (they don’t talk despite eating together during dinner time, whereas the Griffin’s at least do that).
I've had some of the hardest laughs at some of the jokes this season. As a man on the autism spectrum I cried laughing at Lois bringing Chris dinner at the school in the finale, "I made your favorite! Spaghetti noodles with butter and nothing! Which I'm told is a sign of a developmental disability but I'm not ready to confront that yet!" 😂😂😂😂
So glad someone’s like actively talking about current family guy in a critical analysis instead of just making the same broad statements about the show. Keep it up! I enjoyed this season a lot, contrary to a lot of people, the show is still entertaining to me.
@@LydiaLovesTimelines I want your opinion Can you make a video about South Park vs. Family Guy, which is better in comedy, wholesale moments, and overall a better show
Almost every Family Guy had some laugh out loud jokes. Their plots consistently leave something to be desired. We know the writers are completely uninspired by this point. I don’t see it ever reaching “Simpsons” level apathy to the point where that show is completely devoid of quality on all fronts. I’m a big Family Guy fan, but let’s be be realistic. The Simpsons & South Park in their golden eras could both make strong cases for being the best TV in history. Up against any show ever made. Family Guy doesn’t even make it into the top 5 adult cartoons.
The Munchurian Candidate was by far the best episode of this season. The whole premise was peak Family Guy. When they cut to Peter sitting on the beach licking an ice cream cone, I bust out laughing. The timing of that whole scene was perfect and hilarious!
@@sjksnzdujd7759 You're wrong, the ice cream was technically a cutaway by definition. You see, a cutaway is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually followed by a cut back to the first shot. Seeing your opinion, you clearly laughed at the ice cream portion. Therefore you can't laugh without the cutaways. What made you laugh at this cutaway is how it wasn't mentioned before the cut. It was mentioned earlier yes but usually the cut should have happened right after, but it didn't, making it funnier. And knowing how the show is, you'd most likely forgot about the ice cream being mentioned, making it unexpected.
@@Glitchberryyou must be fun at parties… obviously its a cutaway but not in a traditional family guy typa cutaway lighten up buddy no need a whole essay seems a bit unnecessary
I also hated White Meg Can't Jump. It has so much potential and it could been better without the Meg bashing. If they do another anthology episode, I would love to see Meg in a lead role.
They cannot remove the Meg bashing because it’s been established and deeply ingrained to series for decades. So instead they have to turn Meg being as a form of motivation. Something for Meg to get a boost to prove Peter wrong.
How about an episode saga similar to the Drake & Josh episode "Josh Is Done" with Meg being Josh and the rest of the family being Drake, if you get me drift?
@@etarver13 I disagree with the opinion that they can't make that change since other long running animated shows have made similar if not larger changes and received pretty good results. south park for example with no longer having Kyle give a speech about the moral of the episode and getting rid of chef. So, they can get rid of the meg bashing it's just of question of if they can come up with something better to replace it.
9:57 I think Wild West is a good contrast to Adam. Adam is more of an out there funny character while Wild is more of a character you need to watch and listen to, to enjoy him. Cause when he’s funny. He’s damn funny ☠️
I have to say you can't blame anyone for the replacement since you do understand why they where forced to right? Adam West irl died, so they where forced to retire his character. Before anyone suggests to revoice that is a massively huge problem, you only revoice when it's a bad person or voice actor, but when it's beloved you retire the character out of respect and love of said memories. I agree Adam West was amazing but sadly death is no one's fault and so with a heavy heart he is no longer here. I personally have no issues with wild West but I understand it would be far worse to keep Adam West when his voice actor passed away. I do apologize for coming across as a bit rude in this comment.
Definitely one of the best seasons ever. You can tell that the writers and artists have suddenly started to really give a crap and make the best shows they possibly can, lately. “Happy Holo-Ween” is my personal favorite this season, just because of how elaborate and well-done it is with all their special effects and art style. I’m so glad this season finally gave us a passable Halloween episode, after going 12 full years with the only other one being that dumpster fire from Season 9. Other golden episodes such as “Single White Dad”, “The Candidate”, “Unzipped Code”, and “Adoptation” were sadly snubbed from this video and should have gotten full reviews. Not to mention this season was also kind of a breakout season for Lois. Although they may have given her a little too much time in the spotlight, it was still definitely great to see her come out of her shell and have so much life and energy in these more recent episodes.
i feel like Lois and Peter have really lost that spark in their marriage and have for a while. there are some episodes where they fight to get it back but its always back to them being unhappy soon after. they just seem on the brink of divorce all the time to me.
That’s the gist for all the married couples in the show. Almost like the writers hate married couples or something. You can’t say characters have when writers force them to be a certain way.
One of my favorite jokes this seasons was in the season finale adult education. When Chris kept misquoting Bart’s old catchphrases. It’s not that is extremely funny it’s just that I always love the Simpsons references in Family Guy and vise versa. Also I have to agree that the mayor west episode is so boring, that character it so heard to watch
Adult Education is the finale but I keep seeing clips that are from episodes I haven’t seen even though I watched the new seasons. Like the fat shaming episode, which may have what someone else mentioned, when Chris likes spaghetti with nothing on it
For some that have followed Family guy for years. I saw a steady decline in the show since the murder party which is probably the best family guy episodes. I can say that this episode was one of the best for many years.
i've always said the series has the potential to revive the golden era; it's just a matter of hiring competent writers & making sure the cast isn't just phoning it in
Absolutely loved that video! You summed it up perfectly and all the things that I thought were great in this season got mentioned. Its safe to say that Family Guy didn’t do much right in the recent seasons but Season 21 really brought back hope for me that my favourite TV show of all time may hasn’t lost everything.
Honestly I feel like FG got some new blood in the writers room past few years, as I feel generally the past few seasons have been worth watching. Lets hope the strike nets the writers some gains that help them produce more good episodes
The problem with Family Guy is that for the most part the episodes are just there to make up numbers with nothing of substance. They have a few gems but when you make so many characters are very unlikable you start to become disinterested on whats happening. I tried going back and watching some episodes but i saw the same problems as before with nothing of interest or note happening
Agreed. Julie Kavner legit sounds like she’s on her death bed, poor thing. Just get a stunt double for a while or something or just keep Marge off to the side for a few episodes. Sheesh!
I found your channel quite recently, and even as someone who isn't into Family Guy (I gave it a fair shot because I genuinely admire MacFarlane's talent, but it seems I'm unfortunately more of a South Park guy at heart) I've been really enjoying your videos. It's the kind of show that's really interesting to hear from a fan who talks about it in depth about. My partner loves the show and I think we'll have to tune into this season and see what they make of it.
Family Guy got good again half way through season 21. When I saw the Candidate. I said "YAY Family Guy is Family Guy again." The story was well written, It had a good number of cutaway gags, it brought back the fast pacing, and they killed Doug.
I like the episodes where the characters actually are characters, and not crazy maniac killers and 204829749293959 Cut outs. I love that peter begins to get more emotions character development and just being amazing.
10:25 I agree like do the people at Family Guy just hate Meg that much that they just don't want her to be happy and that's why she can't have a boyfriend for at least one episode because they either end up dying or ditching her
White Meg Can't Jump Is The Only Episode, In Which I Tolerate Peter Treating Meg Like Garbage, Because She Uses Those Insults To Motivate Herself To Be a Pro Basketball Player.
Im not gonna lie Season 21 had some good episodes. Some of the episodes brought back the charms of what made Family guy funny. So far my favorite ones are the Bird Reich, Wild West, the Bend Or Blockbuster, and the love episode where they did 3 movies about Love
One of my favorite things about family guy is how the cinematography improved leading to much more beautifully animated scenes. I started watching family guy when those kinds of scenes made more appearances, and going back and watching the show’s art slow but surely improve was a ride. While it annoys me watching the clips where the characters are at their lowest, I’ll still go back to it from time to time. Thx for giving me a reason to get back into it! 😁
This season was one of the better seasons in a long time. I've not watched a full season since Brians Death (I forgot which season that is) and this is the first season (aside from the last 2 episodes as I havent had time to watch yet) I've kept up with and watched in full since then. Its nowhere near as good as the originals but its certainly getting better again
Great video. I have to say I think this season was one of the best for consistency in a while I had more laugh-out-loud moments in this than I have for a while. It felt like they used story and development than using more and more cutaways to rely on padding out the episodes(Like that one they did about a 70s show and a big truck then come back and Peter and Quagmire have aged that went on for far too long which is always a bad sign) Blockbuster and Munchirian were personal favorites. Im really;y enjoying your videos and would love another long review like this.
I enjoyed some of these episodes and while usually they'd be my favorite, the parody episodes just didn't do it for me this season. My overall favorite episode is The Three Kings as although they were parodies, they were still their own little stories that were enjoyable. Especially for Oscar Guy, it felt like they spent more time trying to point out the flaws in the movies and rushing through it instead of being an actual family guy version of the story. Family Guy is just a lot better when they're having fun with stories rather than trying to be mouth pieces for something.
This season hasn't been too much better than the previous ones (at least to me), rather it feels like people are _allowing_ themselves to enjoy the show again.
I actually really like Wild West. Sure, Adam West was just the GOAT, but at least they're trying a new direction and not just trying to recapture the magic Adam West was with somebody different. Plus the Christmas/Nativity story did have its moments, especially the stinger at the end
I like how not the humour , though that was funny, but Peter isn’t this complete pyschopath. There are scenes where he acts generally dumb but not a jerk. He tries with Lois in the end of the episode and they don’t really rely much on killing for him to be funny, he tries kind of like a Homer Simpson but retaining that edge of family guy.
I will say this season of Family Guy was a lot better than the previous ones, as I swear, there have been only 3 good episodes per season in a long while. Thank you Lydia for reviewing this season, as it's been enjoyable taking a look at these episodes as a whole to give an overall review! Also, I will say this season was heavily Meh and Lois centric, but were definite standouts! Whether this be Lois' EXTRA hypnosis on Peter or Meg as Belle in Russia, there were some bangers here!❤
Most of the episodes are ditching some of Modern Family Guy’s problems and going back to pre-S8. Some of the moments are kinda funny. Let’s hope S22, 23 and maybe 24 can continue this step in the right direction
I've only finished this season, and it was good, funny as usual (manchurian candidate 😂). I loved in "Oscars Guy" that in each segment, they kept playing Two Princes by Spin Doctors. Song of the 90s, I guess 😂 5:22 HOTSTU really made me laugh. I agree with you, Lydia, about the new Mayor West, not patch on the original.
Wild West peaked in his introduction episode, which was really good, I also enjoyed him in S20's Christmas episode. This season was a great one albeit I prefer S19 and S20 by a slight degree. Also hugely agree with Lois becoming the standout Family Guy character in recent years, I can't wait to see what they do with her in S22.
Personally, it’s a more renaissance season for Family Guy, having more good stand out episodes than bad. With Family Guy currently cancelled or at least hiatus due to the writer strike, it’s a good run for the show to take a break.
Best season ever! Mine's favorites were the one with the "Extra Extra" as trigger word, Lois seeking validation from her dad, Lois stealing a shampoo from a rental home, and Meg staying in Russia/Chris directing porn.
"The Munchurian candidate" might be my favorite episode of the season. Solely for the B story! 😂 Brian & Chris complimenting Stewie's interior design, only to talk sh*t about it as soon as they walk out, gets me everytime. I was crying laughing so hard, the 1st couple of times I watched that episode. 😭
I didn't hear you bring up the fact that family guy had way less flash back moments in this season. (I could be wrong and you did) But I know a lot of people have been waiting a long time for that to happen. I personally liked this season more than I was expecting, because I like the flash backs in the fact that no one else does it. It made family guy stand out more for me. But I still think this was one of there best seasons ever.
i really enjoyed the autism jokes as an autistic person myself tbh its been a moment since i watched but i remember there were quite a few. they werent really offensive, they were just funny and it was awesome
I agree that there are some episodes thru the years that felt rushed and would've been better served by a part 2. I realize they've made their decision, but at one time a part of me was hoping they would get Burt Ward (aka Robin) to be the major of Quahog. It could've played off of Adam West and used some of the old Batman mannerisms.
I don’t know, Linda can get pretty insane. Like the time she hosted her own B&B, or the time she insisted that her husband date her sister. Linda can be absolutely nuts especially when it comes to her sister. That being said Lois is a complete bag of nuts I will not disagree with you there.
13:21 Wow she's really lucky that she actually ended up delivering to that woman as a doordash delivery driver. I mean it could have been possible that this woman was somebody who wouldn't order from DoorDash at all. It has competition there's GrubHub although I don't know if it's in Nantucket or not. I know it's here in my hometown of Santa Rosa. Granted yes I have delivered DoorDash orders to the same customer multiple times before, it's usually pretty rare that I delivered to the same person again. It usually is like a month or many months or even a year. There is that rare occasion where it's like a week or I think I remember delivering the same customer twice in a single week which I was really surprised about, but yeah it's not common at least in my hometown of Santa Rosa CA Also the episode fails to realize that you actually can't rate customers. I really wish you could but you simply can't do so. That's one thing that's frustrating about the job is the customers have a power to rate you but you don't have the ability to rate them. Pretty ridiculous. Aside from that I enjoy the job.
Putting my two cents in here; Adult Education was supposed to be an American Dad episode, with the principal side plot and Rachel MacFarlane, I won't be convinced otherwise.
Honestly, I quite liked the B-plot in White Meg Can't Jump. One of my special interests is Dissociative Identity Disorder (or Multiple Personality Disorder), so I was pretty excited about that, however, what disappointed me was the fact that it was only for that specific episode. I would honestly quite like it if the next season includes some moments where Mrs. Padbury Wilkerson or Boon or something make another appearance. It doesn't have to be the main focus, but just some brief callbacks, although with how episodic Family Guy is, I highly doubt they'd do anything more with Stewie's DID. Stewie wasn't "cured" or anything, he still has it, so it would just make sense for it to be referenced again, in my opinion.
I have to say that overall this was the funniest season of Family Guy in quite a long time. My biggest complaint would have to be that the season seemed way shorter than 20 episodes, and there seemed to be inordinately larger gaps between airings. As much as people complain about the dip in quality in both Family Guy and The Simpsons, I STILL find them to be the best shows not just on the Animation Domination block, but the entire FOX network at this point. I've been saying for years that were it not for Family Guy, The Simpsons, College Football and The NFL - and now also the USFL - I hardly ever watch FOX at all these days. Damn near everything on it sucks now: the dramas, the sitcoms, and the reality shows... MADONE! HOW MANY SHOWS DOES GORDON RAMSAY NEED?
As someone who has been watching family guy since around 2008 2009 I’ve got to say this season was actually enjoyable for me personally. Some of the episodes I’ll admit we’re kind of boring at some points but the jokes were definitely funny and there were quite a bit of jokes that made me laugh out loud pretty hard, especially with the hypnotizing Peter skit that was pretty hilarious and that made me laugh the hardest I’ve left in many years watching a show, so this season was definitely a step up from the previous ones for sure
I think modern Family Guy is mostly hit or miss. It defiantly feels like the writers are trying a lot harder than they did in seasons past, but they've been on the air for so long the a lot of it feels tired. That being said I enjoyed season 21, I'd rate it 3.5/5
It seems like the characters arent themselves anymore and it reminds me when Seth MacFarlane said in a interview that hes not sure who the Griffins are today and it make you notice that even hes not familiar with the direction of the show since hes stopped writing
I miss Blockbuster's and their use of the VHS sticker and phrase "Be kind, Rewind"! 😂😂😂😂 I mean it was a DVD!! 😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪🤪 You're example of Western West was funny to me… really made me lol I actually don't have cable TV or anything to watch it, so I too really didn't know it was still being made! 😂😂😂😂
You know, I haven't seen an episode of Family Guy in a few years now, much less a new one. That said, I kind if like the way this is going. The characters seem to have improved and their relationships have been developed. Most of the stories look fun too. I think this could be Family Guy's renaissance.

I love that episode
tbh that episode was just really good all round. It was like something out of King of the Hill.
I've had some of the hardest laughs at some of the jokes this season. As a man on the autism spectrum I cried laughing at Lois bringing Chris dinner at the school in the finale, "I made your favorite! Spaghetti noodles with butter and nothing! Which I'm told is a sign of a developmental disability but I'm not ready to confront that yet!" 😂😂😂😂
Honestly I've never been tested but butter noodles are awesome.
I'm autistic myself, and I've never tried noodles with nothing but butter. Though, it does sound tasty!
I dont like some of the textures in the sauce it irks me the wrong way plain noodles r good
I'm autistic and I love butter noodles so I feel called out lol
Same here. I also have autism as does my younger sister
So glad someone’s like actively talking about current family guy in a critical analysis instead of just making the same broad statements about the show. Keep it up!
I enjoyed this season a lot, contrary to a lot of people, the show is still entertaining to me.
Did we watch the same video?
Same I liked this season as well
@@smo-king6504idk did we?
I feel like Adoptation was a missed opportunity for Lois's sister Carol not to make a comeback even if its just for that episode.
Yes you're right, I did think that too. I think they've just forgotten about her haha
Another missed opportunity was keeping Tatum in the show (You'll be seeing her with Carter in a 2012 parody I am going to make at some point)
@@LydiaLovesTimelines I want your opinion
Can you make a video about South Park vs. Family Guy, which is better in comedy, wholesale moments, and overall a better show
What I want to know what happened to Carol's baby
I was confused why she wasn't there too. You would think Lois' sister would at least be mentioned if she is getting a new sister.
White Meg Can’t Jump was also one of the last acting credits to the late great comedian Gilbert Gottfried who recorded his lines before his death
I liked the episode where Carter adopts an orphan. The story wasn't memorable but, it had some really funny jokes.
“We had three other kids that didn’t live! Ba-da-da-bap!”

Yeah they implied it multiple times. Usually in the form of off handed jokes/remarks
*Not word for word*
Peter: I heard a 3some can spark a marriage
Lois: You can barely do a 2some. You're becoming more a sit and watch type of guy.
Season 21 Ep 19
Lois: "We need to talk, Peter."
Peter: "If you divorce me, I will kill myself."
Lois: Sits back down, exhaling heavily
That lois scream is just amazing bro. Her whole acting career was in that

I enjoyed this season. I’m glad Chris and Meg got more screen time.
bottle episode was definitely my favourite -- i love the lois spotlights where she goes psycho over mundane mom things haha
The best part of the season was Lois scream, she deserves an Oscar for that scream! it became a meme, and it went viral!
Alex is a fantastic VA, her and April Stewart at South Park are both two of the most talented female voice artists in modern television
For some that have followed Family guy for years. I saw a steady decline in the show since the murder party which is probably the best family guy episodes. I can say that this episode was one of the best for many years.
For me, the show dipped in quality from Seasons 10-17.
That's probably my favorite much as I love North by North Quahog and Brian and Stewie.
i've always said the series has the potential to revive the golden era; it's just a matter of hiring competent writers & making sure the cast isn't just phoning it in

I actually cried, when Peter, with hardly any voice left, says “shut up, Meg“. Super moment.
I found your channel quite recently, and even as someone who isn't into Family Guy (I gave it a fair shot because I genuinely admire MacFarlane's talent, but it seems I'm unfortunately more of a South Park guy at heart) I've been really enjoying your videos. It's the kind of show that's really interesting to hear from a fan who talks about it in depth about. My partner loves the show and I think we'll have to tune into this season and see what they make of it.
I also like Lois as a crazy mom. Better than Marge and Linda because Lois adds some life to her character.
Family Guy got good again half way through season 21. When I saw the Candidate. I said "YAY Family Guy is Family Guy again." The story was well written, It had a good number of cutaway gags, it brought back the fast pacing, and they killed Doug.
i actually really like this season. the quagmire and stewie pairing is a really good dynamic imo. i'd like to see some more hijinks between them
Me too!! I really liked that episode
I like the episodes where the characters actually are characters, and not crazy maniac killers and 204829749293959 Cut outs.
I love that peter begins to get more emotions character development and just being amazing.
I love season 21 full of good stuff, honestly i see a FG renaissance HAHA EP 12 WAS SUPER FUNNY TOO ME 😂
I like the new Gen Z/Millennial jokes in the newer Family guy episodes, they hit it so spot on it’s hilarious😂
Good to see FG showing a little love for their younger fans. They do Gen Z humor infinity times better than The Simpsons does.
I kind of love the chris and brian sideplot with stewie's new treehouse, it was cracking me up the whole time lol
10:25 I agree like do the people at Family Guy just hate Meg that much that they just don't want her to be happy and that's why she can't have a boyfriend for at least one episode because they either end up dying or ditching her
White Meg Can't Jump Is The Only Episode, In Which I Tolerate Peter Treating Meg Like Garbage, Because She
Uses Those Insults To Motivate Herself To Be a Pro Basketball Player.
Im not gonna lie Season 21 had some good episodes. Some of the episodes brought back the charms of what made Family guy funny. So far my favorite ones are the Bird Reich, Wild West, the Bend Or Blockbuster, and the love episode where they did 3 movies about Love
The first episode of this season was amazing asf it was perfect I wish there was a whole season were they parody/recreate shows.
I'm tied between chris,Brian, and stewie doing episodes together and Quagmire, Stewie, and Brian.
One of my favorite things about family guy is how the cinematography improved leading to much more beautifully animated scenes. I started watching family guy when those kinds of scenes made more appearances, and going back and watching the show’s art slow but surely improve was a ride. While it annoys me watching the clips where the characters are at their lowest, I’ll still go back to it from time to time. Thx for giving me a reason to get back into it! 😁
This season was one of the better seasons in a long time. I've not watched a full season since Brians Death (I forgot which season that is) and this is the first season (aside from the last 2 episodes as I havent had time to watch yet) I've kept up with and watched in full since then. Its nowhere near as good as the originals but its certainly getting better again
0:40 Kinda funny that an early Family Guy episode already parodied this moment, except it was chicken wings.
Great video. I have to say I think this season was one of the best for consistency in a while I had more laugh-out-loud moments in this than I have for a while. It felt like they used story and development than using more and more cutaways to rely on padding out the episodes(Like that one they did about a 70s show and a big truck then come back and Peter and Quagmire have aged that went on for far too long which is always a bad sign) Blockbuster and Munchirian were personal favorites. Im really;y enjoying your videos and would love another long review like this.
Yeah...that scene were Lois confessing she's a psycho was a long time coming. The obvious Birds reference was hilarious
I enjoyed some of these episodes and while usually they'd be my favorite, the parody episodes just didn't do it for me this season. My overall favorite episode is The Three Kings as although they were parodies, they were still their own little stories that were enjoyable. Especially for Oscar Guy, it felt like they spent more time trying to point out the flaws in the movies and rushing through it instead of being an actual family guy version of the story. Family Guy is just a lot better when they're having fun with stories rather than trying to be mouth pieces for something.
This season hasn't been too much better than the previous ones (at least to me), rather it feels like people are _allowing_ themselves to enjoy the show again.
I LOVE how they made Peter more likeable this season. God its well deserved.
I actually really like Wild West. Sure, Adam West was just the GOAT, but at least they're trying a new direction and not just trying to recapture the magic Adam West was with somebody different. Plus the Christmas/Nativity story did have its moments, especially the stinger at the end
Lydia doing the "compliment sandwich" a la Stewie Griffin 😂
I like how not the humour , though that was funny, but Peter isn’t this complete pyschopath. There are scenes where he acts generally dumb but not a jerk. He tries with Lois in the end of the episode and they don’t really rely much on killing for him to be funny, he tries kind of like a Homer Simpson but retaining that edge of family guy.
I will say this season of Family Guy was a lot better than the previous ones, as I swear, there have been only 3 good episodes per season in a long while. Thank you Lydia for reviewing this season, as it's been enjoyable taking a look at these episodes as a whole to give an overall review! Also, I will say this season was heavily Meh and Lois centric, but were definite standouts! Whether this be Lois' EXTRA hypnosis on Peter or Meg as Belle in Russia, there were some bangers here!❤
The Bird Riech is one of my favorite episodes. I was dying all the way through it.
I think all of Peter's friends saw lois nude. Except Cleveland
The quagmire and Stewie ep , was just Seth talking to himself for 21 minutes
Most of the episodes are ditching some of Modern Family Guy’s problems and going back to pre-S8. Some of the moments are kinda funny. Let’s hope S22, 23 and maybe 24 can continue this step in the right direction
Finally someone doing a season review, instead of just crapping all over the show like everyone else
You forgot the episode "The Candidate". That's the one where Stewie competes in an election against Doug for snack captain.
I've only finished this season, and it was good, funny as usual (manchurian candidate 😂). I loved in "Oscars Guy" that in each segment, they kept playing Two Princes by Spin Doctors. Song of the 90s, I guess 😂
5:22 HOTSTU really made me laugh. I agree with you, Lydia, about the new Mayor West, not patch on the original.
They already did Meg being trapped down that well in Silence of the Lamb many many seasons ago, this was their second time of doing it
Wild West peaked in his introduction episode, which was really good, I also enjoyed him in S20's Christmas episode.
This season was a great one albeit I prefer S19 and S20 by a slight degree.
Also hugely agree with Lois becoming the standout Family Guy character in recent years, I can't wait to see what they do with her in S22.
Clevelands mother Cookie should have succeeded West as mayor
Interesting opinion. I can honestly say I’ve never heard that take before.
I hated Cleveland’s parents, but I am curious why you suggested her to becoming mayor.
@@etarver13 she was mentioned as having ran in a mayoral election 5 times as a libertarian candidate in an episode
The only part i laughed in the Old West episode is when they show baby West with a giant grey moustache lol
Glad to see u mixed the two thumbnails! It looks so good
Personally, it’s a more renaissance season for Family Guy, having more good stand out episodes than bad. With Family Guy currently cancelled or at least hiatus due to the writer strike, it’s a good run for the show to take a break.
Best season ever! Mine's favorites were the one with the "Extra Extra" as trigger word, Lois seeking validation from her dad, Lois stealing a shampoo from a rental home, and Meg staying in Russia/Chris directing porn.
The best bit of the season is the drive home after Peter goes down on Babs😂😂
I don't even watch family guy but these reviews and your videos always drag me back
15:00 Oh my god that’s the same wall they did their non-apology about the Masterson support letter🤣😂
"The Munchurian candidate" might be my favorite episode of the season. Solely for the B story! 😂 Brian & Chris complimenting Stewie's interior design, only to talk sh*t about it as soon as they walk out, gets me everytime. I was crying laughing so hard, the 1st couple of times I watched that episode. 😭
The stewaway one was just an episode of Set MacFarlane talking to himself lol
5:56 OMG!!!!! The scream made this episode EPIC!!!!!!!!
I didn't hear you bring up the fact that family guy had way less flash back moments in this season. (I could be wrong and you did) But I know a lot of people have been waiting a long time for that to happen. I personally liked this season more than I was expecting, because I like the flash backs in the fact that no one else does it. It made family guy stand out more for me. But I still think this was one of there best seasons ever.
i really enjoyed the autism jokes as an autistic person myself tbh its been a moment since i watched but i remember there were quite a few. they werent really offensive, they were just funny and it was awesome
Nah the memorable episode were the last two with meg married and that one where Lois dad adopts a child
I agree that there are some episodes thru the years that felt rushed and would've been better served by a part 2. I realize they've made their decision, but at one time a part of me was hoping they would get Burt Ward (aka Robin) to be the major of Quahog. It could've played off of Adam West and used some of the old Batman mannerisms.
I'm really liking what they're doing with the Principal Shepherd character.
I don’t know, Linda can get pretty insane. Like the time she hosted her own B&B, or the time she insisted that her husband date her sister. Linda can be absolutely nuts especially when it comes to her sister. That being said Lois is a complete bag of nuts I will not disagree with you there.
13:21 Wow she's really lucky that she actually ended up delivering to that woman as a doordash delivery driver. I mean it could have been possible that this woman was somebody who wouldn't order from DoorDash at all. It has competition there's GrubHub although I don't know if it's in Nantucket or not. I know it's here in my hometown of Santa Rosa. Granted yes I have delivered DoorDash orders to the same customer multiple times before, it's usually pretty rare that I delivered to the same person again. It usually is like a month or many months or even a year. There is that rare occasion where it's like a week or I think I remember delivering the same customer twice in a single week which I was really surprised about, but yeah it's not common at least in my hometown of Santa Rosa CA
Also the episode fails to realize that you actually can't rate customers. I really wish you could but you simply can't do so. That's one thing that's frustrating about the job is the customers have a power to rate you but you don't have the ability to rate them. Pretty ridiculous. Aside from that I enjoy the job.
Putting my two cents in here; Adult Education was supposed to be an American Dad episode, with the principal side plot and Rachel MacFarlane, I won't be convinced otherwise.
5:33 Quagmire needs to stay away from Cleveland’s wife… since the Loretta situation 😅
Honestly, I quite liked the B-plot in White Meg Can't Jump. One of my special interests is Dissociative Identity Disorder (or Multiple Personality Disorder), so I was pretty excited about that, however, what disappointed me was the fact that it was only for that specific episode. I would honestly quite like it if the next season includes some moments where Mrs. Padbury Wilkerson or Boon or something make another appearance. It doesn't have to be the main focus, but just some brief callbacks, although with how episodic Family Guy is, I highly doubt they'd do anything more with Stewie's DID. Stewie wasn't "cured" or anything, he still has it, so it would just make sense for it to be referenced again, in my opinion.
I have to say that overall this was the funniest season of Family Guy in quite a long time. My biggest complaint would have to be that the season seemed way shorter than 20 episodes, and there seemed to be inordinately larger gaps between airings. As much as people complain about the dip in quality in both Family Guy and The Simpsons, I STILL find them to be the best shows not just on the Animation Domination block, but the entire FOX network at this point. I've been saying for years that were it not for Family Guy, The Simpsons, College Football and The NFL - and now also the USFL - I hardly ever watch FOX at all these days. Damn near everything on it sucks now: the dramas, the sitcoms, and the reality shows... MADONE! HOW MANY SHOWS DOES GORDON RAMSAY NEED?
As someone who has been watching family guy since around 2008 2009 I’ve got to say this season was actually enjoyable for me personally. Some of the episodes I’ll admit we’re kind of boring at some points but the jokes were definitely funny and there were quite a bit of jokes that made me laugh out loud pretty hard, especially with the hypnotizing Peter skit that was pretty hilarious and that made me laugh the hardest I’ve left in many years watching a show, so this season was definitely a step up from the previous ones for sure
I also didn't know it was still going until I found your channel, I haven't watched family guy in about 10 yrs
I love new family so much more than old family! I find Peter Griffin so adorable
I think modern Family Guy is mostly hit or miss. It defiantly feels like the writers are trying a lot harder than they did in seasons past, but they've been on the air for so long the a lot of it feels tired. That being said I enjoyed season 21, I'd rate it 3.5/5
It seems like the characters arent themselves anymore and it reminds me when Seth MacFarlane said in a interview that hes not sure who the Griffins are today and it make you notice that even hes not familiar with the direction of the show since hes stopped writing
He never actually said that.
Plua he still has control over what happens.
Love your videos. Thank you for making them
thank you for watching
I miss Blockbuster's and their use of the VHS sticker and phrase "Be kind, Rewind"! 😂😂😂😂 I mean it was a DVD!! 😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪🤪
You're example of Western West was funny to me… really made me lol
I actually don't have cable TV or anything to watch it, so I too really didn't know it was still being made! 😂😂😂😂
off topic but I cant believe Mila Kunis has done this show so long and hasn't gotten cancelled yet for it lol
The Munchurian Candidate episode was HILARIOUS. I’m loving this new season of FG!
You know, I haven't seen an episode of Family Guy in a few years now, much less a new one. That said, I kind if like the way this is going. The characters seem to have improved and their relationships have been developed. Most of the stories look fun too. I think this could be Family Guy's renaissance.
"Have you seen a baby with red overalls" "To buy or to rent?"
Yeha I don’t like how the principal basically just American dads principal but not as good
It’s good to see quarantine hanging with Cleveland’s wife and not cheating
**Cries in french disney + not having season 21**
