Alec Kravitt: My Top 5 Family Guy Episodes

Alec Kravitt is a sophomore at the Woodlynde School.

If there is one thing that everybody should know about me, it’s that my favorite TV show is Family Guy. If you are unaware, Family guy is a cartoon sitcom about a dysfunctional family and the adventures of the father (Peter), the kids (Chris and Meg), the hopeful mother (Lois), the highly opinionated dog (Brian) and the evil toddler (Stewie). So, without further ado, here are my top 5 favorite Family Guy episodes.

#5: “Peter’s Two Dads”

In a nutshell, the episode is about how Peter finds out that the person who he thought was his father really isn’t his father. He then has to search for his real biological father (who btw is in Ireland). The highlight of this episode is the musical number at the end. Basically, Peter sings about how proud he is of his drunk father.

#4 “Viewer Mail #2”

Viewer Mail 2 is a compilation of mini episodes based around audience suggestions. If there is one short in this episode I would like to talk about the most, it would have to be “Fatman & Robin”. In this short, Peter is given the power to turn everybody (and everything) into Robin Williams. Of course, everything starts out fine, but then he loses control of which things turn into Robin Williams and which don’t. One of my favorite gags (that I can actually describe) is a part when Peter opens a door, the door turns into Robin Williams, then Robin says, “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Doors!”. If you didn’t get it, Robin was referencing a band called The Doors.

#3 “Hell Comes To Quahog”.

At first it is a typical episode of Family Guy, but then comes the MOST EPIC ENDING TO A FAMILY GUY EVER! The entire episode is about a super store and how it is hogging all the town’s electricity. At the end of the episode, Stewie and Brian use a tank to completely demolish the super store. Now, this isn’t just a 5 second bit, but instead lasts quite awhile. The ending was so epic, this bit could be the episode itself.

#2 “Road to the Multiverse”

“Road to the Multiverse” revolves around Stewie and Brian going to parallel dimensions. These dimensions differ: from a universe where everybody is Jewish, to a place where dogs and humans switch roles in society. Believe it or not, my favorite universe in this episode is one where everything is drawn by Disney. My other favorite universe is one with misleading backgrounds.

#1 “Valentine’s Day in Quahog”.

My favorite scene from this episode is when Stewie goes back to the summer of love, kisses a girl his age, realizes that he just kissed Lois, pukes, goes back to present day, and scolds Brian. After Stewie scolds Brian, Brian asks, “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?” This bit was so funny. I am laughing as I am typing it.

Sadly, though, instead of me explaining how epic the rest of this episode is, I want you to watch it for yourselves. In fact, you should watch ALL of these episodes for yourself. Don’t just take my word for it. Now, just a warning, this series IS for teens and up, so don’t show this to anybody who is 13 or younger.
