I bought this box set as a bargain
from Amazon’s Prime Day; yet it’s clear from the first episode that the
executive producers still weren’t sure whether this franchise would hold its own.
Once again, there are plenty of cutaway references to TV shows that we just don’t
understand to illustrate McFarlane’s point; but there’s plenty of classic
family moments in this series; as each character battles their own demons.
There’s many unlikely scenarios such as encountering celebrities; persuading
the government; and smuggling people out of prison; but all could happen in
corporate America; albeit to the same family. Apart from the giant chicken; there’s
no storyline throughout the series and each episode stands on its own without
change; allowing each wacky adventure to exist in its own right. We also see
less of Stewie’s evil side; and more of his childhood. It’s all about trying to
uphold the same values.
