Family Guy: Play It Again, Brian (2008)
Amazing episode, bad ending
So, I am one of those people who will always root for Brian to get with Lois. Why?
This episode proves my point. Peter is a massive ass to his wife and Brian bonds with her over the vacation, during the fantastic montage at the 10-minute mark. Seth MacFarlane's rendition of "As Time Goes By" gives me goosebumps and is wonderfully sung. Personally, this episode could've easily been a ten out of ten if Lois was a bit more in character and Brian actually got his gal. And of course, the r**e scene was pretty uncomfortable and should've been handled with some more class, same with the chicken fight between Peter and Brian. I feel this episode could've been a great chance to switch up the Family Guy dynamic (a la Season 4's The Perfect Castaway), but it's a status quo show, I get it. Still a great episode, just missed potential.
The Simpsons: Bartless (2023)
Season 34 is freakin' great!
Bartless is one of the weirdest Simpsons episode ever produced and I love it! It shows us a world without Bart and how "great" everyone's lives are, until they meet an orphan boy (who looks like Bart), who makes everyone a lot happier. I love the creativity of this episode and while they did do one of my most hated tropes (world without certain character is much better), they put their spin on it by showing how Bart makes everyone happier. It's a cute little experiment and personally, I thought it was succesful. I like this new direction of The Simpsons and would like to see another episode like this!
