Yacht Rocky

I didn't find the episode funny at all. I think I laughed once and it was a mere chuckle. It was super rushed and didn't feel like the put much effort into it

Episode was a complete disaster! The story was choppy and incomplete, the jokes were awful and that constant shouting half the time was completely unnecessary! I've watched all the seasons and since the last one thing are definitely been going down! Shame...

For a season premiere this was mediocre at best. The story felt disjointed, there were characters present that really added nothing and there was very little to hold your attention. Worst of all it fell into that lazy writing thing that happens way too often on Family Guy where a joke is strung out for too long , done obviously because the writers clearly couldn't fill up an entire episode so had to stretch things out. Family Guy is always hit or miss - file this episode under miss.

Look, I love the show with all my heart. But you're doing a disservice by making this a season premiere. If you're out of ideas just own up to it and stop making the show. I know it's a stable paycheck but would you rather be in control of your own destiny or just find out one day you've been canceled due to low ratings? The latter is going to happen, and it'll be a sad day. I love this show to death but it's time to put it down. Season 16 was a great reprisal that 17 was a slip back again and this premiere doesn't give me any confidence for this season. Whatever group of writers is in charge doesn't have "it". The show doesn't have a spark anymore, it doesn't have wit, it's out of touch, or maybe, trying too hard to be relevant to today's kids. What made Family Guy a success back in the day, whatever magic they had in the first 8 seasons, I really hate to say it, sincerely, is gone; the tank has been running on fumes since season 9 and now lay empty. Please just end the show and spare me feeling this bad about a show I love. It's like when your grandfather fights you taking the keys away when they're 85 and they've already run over somebody's kid, twice. Please just let it go.

My expectations for the show have never been high but the first 8 minutes was decently funny. As soon as the yacht plot begins, there is a tangible decline of quality. Honestly with as much as the family contributes to the epsiode, they shouldn't have been in it. Louise contributes nothing, Chris and Stewie have a weird dynamic that comes out of left field, Brian literally has two lines of dialogue the entire episode and Meg's subplot is just painful to watch on top of being needlessly disgusting. Even though this is supposed to be a "Peter and The Gang" story, Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire have and do nothing of consequence. This episode feels like an excuse to make outdated jokes about singers Seth McFarland liked as a kid. Not the worst episode but very boring despite what the outline of the plot would suggest
