    It was nice to see Death again, and the song was freakin' awesome. Most of the gags were dumb though.

    After a public disturbance, Peter and Brian are forced to attend a 12-step meeting to help kick their drinking problems. Unable to recognize his issue, Peter gets a visit from Death, who gives him a glimpse of what life would be like with and without alcohol.

    Parts I liked:

    * The first two logo productions.

    * Peterdisruptingthe movie.

    * Return of Death. Great to see him again.

    * CatDog reference. However, I don't really understand what's Peter saying. (Sorry, I don't understand people when they're drunk.)

    * Peter's life with being drunk.

    * The seagulls part.

    Parts I hated:

    * The logo productions was too long and tedious. I wasted a minute and a half Peter talking during the logo productions.

    * The Mr. Booze song. Super annoying and once again, tedious (long andirritatingsong, btw)

    * Boring in some scenes

    Overall score: 6/10 (Fair, but tedious)moreless
  • Boring and bad...

    Honestly, this is just tiring. Don't get me wrong, I love family guy, but seriously, this is just getting old. A drunk peter episode, we already had an okay one like that with the kidney, but not only did they not even have a reasonable plot, they didn't have a side story either. This episode was half minded, and mediocre. I can pick ANY episode and it would have been ten times better. Don't get me started on the song that lasted five minutes... It didn't even have a point. I don't want to be hating, but Family Guy needs to pick this up.moreless

    Peter and Brian are forced to attend AA meetings, and neither wants to. They eventually get everyone at the meetings drunk, and Peter gets in an accident, where he is visited by Death, who teaches him how much he should drink.



    It was alright. The only parts I actually liked were the Cat-Dog reference, and Peter going off on Stewie (Laughing Cry, Effing cry, what's the difference). The rest was kind of boring. The opening with the actor's name in the theater was REALLY similar to a scene in the Simpsons like 9 years ago. And the ending was kind of lame. So overall my final grade for this episode is in the low "C", maybe high "D" range. Not great but not absolutely terrible eithermoreless
  • The drunken seagulls eating KFC was hilarious.

    8.5
    So at the movie theater, Peter & Brian get drunk and mess with the movie so Joe takes then to court and they get a month of AA. so as their first session wasvery boring, they get the idea of usinfg the AA meetign to get drunk. Then Joe goes there as multiple people complained about bnose, and Peter & Brian turn the room into a churhc and sing a song (that was very very verty very long) and Joe buys it.



    Going home PEter dies in a car accident, so Dath comes and shows Peter how life pwould have been if he was a super alcoholic (cigar burns!) and how would life bee if he never touched alcohol (Mr.Sitcom Dad). So he teaches Peter a lesson moderation. Peter now throws away2 beers of every 6-pack.



    Overall: It is a good episode with great cutaways (the dudes killing themselves cause of JEsus, thw water slide, the drukne seagulls) but the Mr. Booze son was terribly long. 8.5/10.moreless

    • Tom Tucker: This man wants to testify!
      Peter: Very well, my brother. Let us lead him on the path of righteousness!
      Tom Tucker: This poor gentleman used to speak in long, eloquent sentences. But after years of drinking, he can only speak in short, choppy utterances. Why, at one time, if you asked him who his favorite musicians were, he'd say "Leonard Bernstein, Johan Sebastian Bach, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart". But thanks to that old devil hooch, it's all changed. Who's your favorite musician, Ollie?
      Ollie Williams: Cher!
      Tom Tucker: He doesn't even like Cher.

      When Peter is drunk to Brian, Peter sang CatDog which is a Nickelodeon cartoon about a cat and a dog who are one and their origin is unknown.
