Family Guy: How Low Can You Go? Very, Apparently...

Ahh, Family Guy, the once good show has fallen so far from it's absurdingly hilarious roots. But now, due to horrible animation, bad story structure, and terrible dialogue, Family Guy has become one of the worst shows on television.

Now usually, I wouldn't just rant about Family Guy on the blogosphere, but last night's episode went too far.

In the episode, titled "McStroke," Peter grows a mustache (because he saw it in a magazine????) and then witnesses the local Burger restaurant on fire. The firemen get him to try and save the fire (because he has a mustache?????) and he saves the owner of the restaurant, at the loss of his mustache. (which he doesn't think can grow back?????) Because of this, he gets unlimited hamburgers, and after eating thirty of them, has a stroke.

Now, here, my friends, is where the episode takes a turn for the worst. And i mean THE WORST. So, Peter is now paralyzed on the left side of his body, and the beautiful animation (that is sarcasm) depicts him in the most grotesque way. Not saying that he should look like Prince Charming, but it still looked horrible.

Also, after recently seeing "Diving Bell," I have seen what it is like to be in that sort of condition. And I know, Peter's "condition" wasn't as extreme as the case in the movie, but still, bad taste.

Then they go on to show Peter in "humorous" situations due to his condition, examples include, Peter trying to drink beer, and it pouring out of his paralyzed mouth, and Peter trying to drive, and his dead arm being caught in the door.

Now come on Family Guy. Have you sunk so far that you can't even stay in good taste?

If you want to make fun of something, make sure it's in good taste, and it's actually FUNNY!

Thank you, and kablah.
