Yeah it could go either way.

Hopefully it's more like the puppet episode of "Angel". That worked surprisingly well.

"Bitch Duck" and Stewie with the whole banana were good, overall it was an average episode

I was a little surprised to see them recycle TWO enitre jokes from previous episodes (the not so fresh and the run home bit - with the falling and injured body part bit - just seemed like padding). Overall an okay episode mostly with the Peter storyline.

What a God-awful episode. Absolutely terrible. I can honestly say I didn't laugh once.

I saw the Lois-falling joke coming as soon as she started running. Way too predictable.

I saw the Lois "SSSSS AHHHH" gag coming too, but I did laugh when it turned out she hurt her tit and not her knee.

I must be growing out of Family Guy. It just has not been funny to me lately. I was waiting for the Star Trek: Next Gen cast but either I missed the episode or I missed the gag.

The Quagmire reaction watching TV with everyone popping up was hysterical!

I did not like this episode as well.

My friend has not seen this episode yet. Today, I told him I hated this episode, but said that he would love it. He was mildly offended...haha

Basically, I hate politics.

It hasn't aired yet.

And you're not getting old, the show is. It hasn't been funny since 2002.

Then why do you keep watching it?

Not a good episode.

Just because the episodes suck doesn't mean there isn't a good joke or two. Some are worth watching just for that.

Some episodes since it's return have been ok and some have been downright hysterical. I'm just hoping the show is in a rut and gets back to its prime. I'm a huge fan of the pre-cancellation episodes, which is why I watch it every week. The Simpsons is my favorite show and I haven't found most episodes funny since the 9th season. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching it.

The Griffin family heads to the annual Star Trek convention, but Stewie, angry when he can't ask his favorite cast members a question, builds his own transporter and beams the cast to his bedroom.

The Star Trek bits were great. The Meg/Brian story was meh.

I thought it was kinda lame. I only watched for the TNG stuff, and most of it was given away by the trailer. The only thing I really laughed at was
Spoiler:
Tasha getting shot

Loved the McDonalds scene. Didn't get the ending.

Luckily he's on American Dad quite a bit so you do get to hear him a often.

This is true, but he made Family Guy funnier than it's been in some time.

I want to smack Wesley Crusher upside the head . . .
