Talking Simpsons - Family Guy "Death Has A Shadow"
🕑 Added 2019-10-02 03:00:00 +0000 UTCWe've reached a very important moment in Simpsons history: The premiere of Family Guy. The controversial series has been airing next to The Simpsons on-and-off for the last 20 years starting on Super Bowl Sunday in 1999. And so we take a little pause on our chronological breakdown to explore the creation of Family Guy, how the first episode debuted in such a major spot, and how the pilot episode looks with the eyes of 2019. Listen now with a Pawtucket Patriot Ale!

Man, if anyone was considering jumping back into Family Guy the season premiere took some of their worst impulses to new heights. The first segment revolves around Peter possibly losing his job (told via some hacky Bachelor parody) but he faints before learning what happened and that plot thread is dropped altogether with no resolution. The second and third segments have the family take a cruise ship which crashes and sinks. All of the characters are on the verge of drowning when the show cuts to them sitting on the couch with a tossed off "Wow that was crazy". No explanation or even acknowledgment of the abrupt change is given. If the problem was they ran out of time they could've easily cut several overly long jokes that were duds anyway.

And the Orville is a wonderful show. You should absolutely watch it.
