After Brian accidentally kills another dog, and no one seems to care, he tries to convince everyone that they should value the life of a dog the same as a human. Meanwhile, Lois hires a maid who doesn't listen to Peter.
the beginning was disturbing, but the episode was kind of funny until the dramatic end.

5 out of 10.

"Great"

By futuramarama, Jun 29, 2011

Brian is upset when he runs over and kills another dog, and he is even more upset by the fact that nobody cares. This leads him to wonder if his life has any meaning. Does it? Or does he live just to live?

Good episode. The maid sub plot annoyed me. I know the point was to be annoying, or I am assuming that was the point, but still. I really liked the ending when Peter and the family think Brian is dead; it is a nice moment that shows they do care for him, and it is one of my favorite scenes in the show. Overall this is a nice episode and my final grade is a B- or so, I think is fair.moreless

"Great"

By tigerdude22, Jun 28, 2011

Brian accidentally ran over a dog and he finds out that dog is dead so he buries the dog. Brian decides to confess to everyone in the household and Joe (since he is the policeman). They all laugh because they said it isn't a crime to kill a dog and Brian didn't like it when no one cared about the value of a dog's life. The plot to this episode was great and well-written. One of the better Family Guy episodes this season. I laughed at some scenes but the scene I can remember laughing hard was the cutaway with Stewie reading the "Curious George" book. Stewie saw Brian crying in the bathtub so Stewie decides to help Brian by grabbing his collar and taking it to pretend that Brian was dead from being burned from a fire. Peter, Lois, Meg, and Chris find out that Brian was dead (which he really isn't) and Stewie gets Brian and wanted to show the four of them crying. Peter, Lois, Meg, and Chris hugging and crying made Brian realize that they do care about the value of a dog's life (well... at least Brian's life). Overall, despite everyone not caring about the value of a dog's life (which is the reason my score isn't higher), this was a great episode and the plot was well-written from Seth MacFarlane and the other writers. 8.5/10moreless

What's this A GOOD Family Guy Episode?

8.5

"Great"

By JohnWeston, Sep 07, 2010

WOW this was actually pretty good. Last week was horrible besides Quagmire telling brain off but this week was a good back to basics episode. Peter's childish antics has Lois get a maid, The catch is the maid is stubborn annoying and disruptive, Just like real maids.

The other part was Brain being his old Liberal A-hole self but it was still great to see everything blow up in his face. The gags were kept to a minimum here and the episode had a great flow to it. Being closer to the Family Guy I enjoyed just a few years ago.

Did the Manatees die? did they put in new balls? I don't know but this was a pretty good episode and I hope there are more to come.moreless

Mister, mister Superman no here.

8.0

"Great"

By thefanof, Sep 07, 2010

I cannot believe they brought the maid from Superman's fortress of solitude back! Her dialogue was funny as a whole, and shockingly not too farfetched from how real maids genuinely act. This felt more like a storyline from a live action sitcom than something Family Guy does, but hey, it was funny, it worked, so no harm no foul.

Brian and Stewie's scenes were good as well, but that's no surprise as the two of them are the few consistently good characters nowadays.

To argue that this episode was well-written was nonsensical, but did it serve its purpose of making you laugh? Absolutely.moreless
