I wanted so badly to like the show, and I have stuck through it into the second season simply because John Larroquette has. It has departed so far from what the original was supposed to be. The jokes are terrible. The majority of the characters are unlikable. The cuteness that Melissa Rauch had on big bang is just annoying now. I will probably finish out this season for John, but unless there are major improvements in the remaining episodes, I'm giving up on it, and I think everyone else should too. It's clear now that this show never should have happened. The charisma and talent of the original cast is what it made so special. None of that is present here.

I love Sam Elliott, but the Wild West character simply does not work. It does not fit into Family Guy and every episode that involves the character is boring. Definitely does not live up to Adam West. This was a failed experiment that they need to move on from and find a new mayor. Elliot is great when he cameos as himself, but should be limited to that. At this point, I would much rather watch a Meg episode than more of the Wild West stuff. There is infinite potential for a better character in that position. I do not presume to have the answer to who would be a great replacement, but that's why they have dozens of highly paid riders on their staff, who are clearly not earning their paychecks at this point. I have watched family guy since day one and will continue to watch it regardless, but it's getting painful.

If you have read the novel or seen the original mini series, this show is not for you. It is shot out of sequence and the acting is subpar. Also, I'm not sure why there's so much focus on Harold. I'm going to give episode two a chance and if it's as bad as episode one, I'm done.
