Family Guy: Brian & Stewie (2010)
The Episode
After watching this episode for the first time I was a bit shocked. I have watched Family Guy since it's very first season and I have to say this episode is my all time favorite. When I saw that most of the reviews the episode had were unfavorable, I knew people who watched it didn't seem to understand the seriousness of this episode. The episode wasn't created for the comedic entertainment of the dedicated Family Guy fans. It was a way to show the underlying issues of hints in the smaller jokes in older episodes. Seth MacFarlane wrote an episode to show how manipulative Stewie Griffin really is, and it also shows that Brain's depression is something more real than any of the viewers had expected, with previous episodes even cracking jokes about the issues Brian has with his life. The seriousness of this episode gives it a new feel, and it's much more real then the corny jokes and small puns in any other episode. People just weren't ready for it.
