Lois works for FOX News and Peter comes up with a show

8.5

Lois gets a job working for FOX News and has to do a report on a liberal filmmaker. However, she loses the job when her story implicates a conservative radio host. I thought this episode was great, slightly better than Family Guy, but way better than the bad Juice is Loose episode. I don't get why hate it so much...I never had much of problem of this episode since day 1 of its premiere. My only problems were the dragged parts and Brian kept complaining to Lois about joining the Fox News. This is where I started to notice Brian's complaining over something and it continue to be like in a few more episodes (ex: Extra Large Medium, etc.). Lois' plot was not the best, but I pretty much laughed a few times but the funniest was Lois running and doing the same fashion way in Wasted Talent. Subplot was way better and I liked every minutes of it. I did found it funny that Quagmire is actually 61 years...by eating carrots which makes him younger. Overall very underrated episode. 8.5/10moreless

Lois works for FOX news

8.5

By tigerdude22, Mar 20, 2012

I thought that this was a great episode of "Family Guy". I thought it was funny when Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland were showing each other their new driver's license and then it was revealed that Quagmire was actually 61 years old (that was a funny surprise). It was funny when Stewie goes inside the boz after Peter bought the high definition television and I thought it was also funny when they were watching Ellen DeGeneres talking to Seth Rogen and you can see fish breath coming out of her mouth. It was hilarious when everyone freaked out after seeing Rhonda Latimer in high definition. It was funny when Lois was running home and then scraped her boob after he got hired to work for FOX news. The Batman cutaway was also hilarious when the signal was poop. I also loved the subplot when Peter wanted to create a cartoon for FOX to put on the air and he, Chris, and Meg try to brainstorm. I thought it was hilarious when Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland were voicing in Peter's cartoon and then Cleveland is using an Australian accent when he suppose to use a moon accent. It was also funny that Peter showed CEO Peter Chernin his cartoon except he just wanted a small little change to Peter's cartoon which Peter missed up because it was just a little change. It was also funny that Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore were actually portrayed by Fred Savage the whole time. My score was just a little low because I thought it was time-filler when Peter and Chris were whispering in the kitchen about Meg not getting the cartoon for like 3 times and I didn't like when Peter wasn't even willing to make that small change to his cartoon and air it on FOX. Also, some parts were sort of boring. Overall, a great episode of "Family Guy". 8.5/10moreless

superb

9.0

By futuramarama, Oct 14, 2011

what i liked- every Handi-quack scene, with Meg suggesting something to add to the show, and Peter and Chris walk out and talk crap about her and her comedic style regarding the show, Brian calling the Fox guy "Adolf" and him saying that his grandparents died in the Holocaust, only for that to be a joke, Peter negotiating to get his show on the air, and failing because of his own stupidity, Fred Savage's appearance (whether or not that was really him, I dunno, but it was still funny), etc.

good episode. not one of their all-time bests, but it certainly was a more than enjoyable way to spend a half hour of mytime. i laughed a lot and i really enjoyed Peter's Handi-Quacks scenes. B+ or so I think is fairfor myfinal grade.moreless

Much better than the last epsiode.

7.0

Lois tries out for a job at Fox News, and she actually gets it. But Brian hates Fox News, and says that it is nothing but evil conservative media. Lois has to do a story on how Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh are gay but she finds out that they are both fictional charactars played by Fred Savage.

Meanwhile, Peter thinks he can make a cartoon on Fox now that Lois has a job there. He writes it with Meg and Chris, and it is called Handi Quacks.

This was a pretty decent episode. While the main plot was awful and made no sense, I liked the Handi Quacks plot.

Overall Grade: 70%/Cmoreless
