    This episode is just one of many examples of why Family Guy was at its best during its early seasons. Original jokes and gags, not as much reliance on popular culture even though this episode itself was quite dependent on it. There were some times where it felt dry and boring, but then it redeemed itself with jokes like when Peter mixed up his words and called Lois worthless rather than priceless, and when he was drawing Lois and gave her bigger boobs. Some other great scenes concerning death, such as when he tried picking up those girls at the beach and the ending where he kills the women. Just hilarious!moreless

    Another reasonably interesting episode of Family Guy, but this one was not as great as its predecessor, but still among the best in this season so far, in my opinion.

    Although I thought that the storyline wasn't the greatest but they did execute it very well, especially with the scavenger hunt set up by Peter. That was an interesting concept, but I didn't think it was perfect in its execution, although still quite interesting.

    Also, I thought that the episode didn't have as many funny scenes as I would've hoped, but it was still quite funny at times.

    I would recommend this episode quite highly, but I would prefer the previous one over this one any day.moreless

    i think family guy hit its peak in the third series (as released in the uk, i think it differs in america?), and the series hit its peak in this episode. lethal weapons, screwed the pooch and this one, death lives, are all in my top 10 family guy episodes, i cant be the only one, pure gold

    death and his mother, 2 GREAT characters

  • How Peter met everyone

    What a great episode. lets start by saying Peter avoiding Lois on he's anniversary was really selfish, but i shall mention that again in a sec...

    The return of Death was a welcome one - such good contiunity too as he remembers Peter and Peter remembers him. i liked how Death was trying to win a girls heart (only to kill her at the end out of sheer boredom)

    Flashbacks reveal how Peter met Glen 'does-this-look-like-a-Q?' Quagmire and Cleveland 'we're being chased by ghosts' Brown. very well written and very funny flashbacks.

    but the main point of the episode was peter avoiding Lois on their anniversary, which i thought was selfish... until the final moments of the episode where they heard their song (Ohh baby i love your way)where they reconciled. its a beautiful moment and shows why Lois loves Peter.moreless
