The Son Also Draws

The sixth episode of Family Guy is pretty funny and is one of the best episodes yet. It has a consistent array of hilarious jokes, although some may be rather racist. If you are Native American or Hispanic, perhaps you may be somewhat offended. But the jokes are definitely funny and I loved the scenes where Peter and his son go out into the woods to find their true calling.

This episode, "The Son Also Draws" gives more significant air time to the Griffin's son, Chris. After Chris quits boy scouts, the family take a trip to a Native American resort where it turns out that Lois gambled away the family car.

Overall, this is quite a good, funny episode which is nice to see as we are nearing the end of Season One. It's nice that we finally get to see more of Chris and his family relationships. And of course, I just love Stewie and his antics. I rate this episode 9/10.

This is easily my favorite episode of season one. It's the most hilarious yet while also providing great social commentary about father-son bonding.

This was the funniest episode in awhile. The jokes were really consistent and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Story: 7/10 In this episode, Peter takes Stewie on a trip to a Native American reservation, but things take a more sentimental turn when Stewie discovers his passion for drawing. While this setup gives the episode potential for humor and heart, the story struggles to balance the two. The attempt to include both comedy and sentiment doesn't fully land, as the episode shifts gears a few times, leaving it feeling a bit disjointed at times.

Characters: 7/10 Stewie's artistic side is explored here, which is a fun little character development moment, though it feels a bit out of nowhere. Peter is his usual self-chaotic, loud, and a little oblivious to the situation, but it works for this episode. Lois and Brian get less screen time in this one, but they contribute nicely when they're involved. Stewie's quirky humor and his unusual reactions to things continue to be a highlight, though he's not quite as sharp as in other episodes.

Humor: 7/10 The humor is solid, as Family Guy fans would expect. There are some funny moments throughout, especially involving Stewie's drawings, and Peter's typical antics. However, the comedy feels a little forced at times, particularly in the scenes where the show attempts to balance humor with the more serious moments. While the jokes land for the most part, they don't hit as hard as they have in some previous episodes.

Pacing: 7/10 The pacing is a bit off in this episode. The first half moves quickly enough, but once the emotional beats kick in, the episode slows down significantly. The shift in tone from goofy humor to heartfelt moments creates an awkward pacing dynamic, and while it's good to see Family Guy try something different, the episode feels uneven as a result.

Writing: 7/10 The writing is decent, with some memorable lines and character interactions. However, the episode doesn't fully capitalize on its potential. The concept of Stewie finding an unexpected passion for drawing could have been explored more deeply, but it's somewhat glossed over. The jokes are fine, but they feel a little recycled from earlier episodes, and the emotional moments don't quite land as effectively as they should.

Animation: 7/10 The animation continues to be standard Family Guy fare-clean and consistent. There's a little more focus on Stewie's drawings, which adds a nice artistic touch to the visual storytelling. However, the animation doesn't feel particularly groundbreaking in this episode. It does the job, but there's nothing remarkable about it this time around.

Voice Acting: 8/10 Seth MacFarlane, as usual, delivers solid performances as Peter and Stewie. The voice acting remains a key strength of the show, with the cast continuing to bring their characters to life with great energy. The emotional moments are enhanced by the performances, and while they aren't fully successful, the cast still adds layers to their characters. Alex Borstein and Seth MacFarlane's voices continue to shine, even in a more subdued episode.

Final Verdict: 7/10 The Son Also Draws is a solid episode of Family Guy, offering some fun moments with Stewie and Peter, but it doesn't quite hit the mark with its attempt at emotional depth. The humor is good, but the episode's uneven pacing and slight tonal shift keep it from being one of the standout entries. Still, it's an enjoyable watch with some good character moments, especially from Stewie, who once again proves to be the heart of the show.
