After getting annoyed over Mindhunter lagging and his favorite snack not being served at church, Stewie loses his temper and lets out a swear. Everybody gets shocked, most of all Lois who never could hear him until now. As a result of the event, she becomes shut out by everyone.

Although the plot sounded weird on paper (Chris, Meg and even Peter in one episode have all interacted with Stewie before), it turned out to be a pretty solid satire of the social stigma on swearing. People always pretend that they care so much just to hold up an image, like you are immediately more of a lowlife just for letting out some steam sometimes. Teaches a good lesson about how swearing can feel good whenever you just want to voice your frustration. Oddly enough the parts where Lois got shunned are not really super funny, but they do feel true to life.

The callback to Peter falling down the stairs and swearing like a good Christian instead amused me. A clever way of referencing a wellknown gag without just doing the exact same thing again.

Stewie saying "Mommy" as his second word after having missed Lois but refusing to say it again for Instagram was a pretty funny way to conclude it. Anything with Stew acting like a real baby tends to be good.

The first act plot with Peter and his magic 8-ball also had some entertainment in it. The best joke is the ending to it where he asks if FOX has a steady future with all the streaming platforms on the uprise. It radiates "no" so strongly it explodes.

However, something that really got on my nerves this time were the meta jokes. Sure, the stageplay reveal was sort of creative, but mostly they were just distracting and seemed to get more obnoxious every time. I like Principal Shepherd usually, but he was pretty irritating here. And this is like the third time they have done the "We don't know how to end this" bit. Come on, guys.

The Caillou stuff also didn't do much for me, given how they didn't really go beyond "Caillou is bald 'cause cancer" or "Annoying narrator". The yoga instructor having diarrhea but urging everyone to stay calm wasn't very funny either.

Overall a decent premiere, even if it's fairly flawed like last season's Yacht Rocky.

There were a few things I laughed at here, but overall this show is just a disappointment. The story was weak, there was no climactic moment, just not what we are accustomed to.

There were some great Joe moments though.

The First Episode Was So Shocking. When Stewie drops the f-bomb.

This episode was good.

Stewie and Lois drops f-bomb, it's was hilarious.

It was great.

The sound of bleeps is hilarious.

I think this episode was pretty good. Of course it is worse than the classic episodes, but that is par for the course. The reason I liked this episode more is because it seems like a step in the right direction. I watched an episode from season 18 and I think this one was an improvement. For one think there is a decrease in filler, as there is way fewer cutaway gags and unrelated events (beginning filler). I also think it fleshed out Lois a little bit, which is good because I can't recall that many episodes centered on her. It wasn't that funny, but a couple jokes made me laugh. I also liked the part where Stewie said "Mommy" as his second word. At first I thought it was uncharacteristic, but after a few minutes I realized that Stewie can be interpreted as having a good relationship with her, and just being in denial. There are episodes where he actually likes her after all. I didn't really like how they tried to play it off like it was "all part of Stewie's plan" at the end, but I guess they did it because they needed to explain it to people who didn't see it. I thought it was clever though, because it doesn't debunk that idea. Over all, a sort-of good episode with a pretty good impact (hopefully).
