Fan Episode Reviews (5)

I really liked that episode but the first minutes are boring.

6.5

Biran realized that Carter is dying but he was so healty after the Griffins came. Brian thinks he isn't a real Carter but Brian realized that Cater found the cure of cancer and he tells that he is gonna tell to the World. The first minutes are about Quagmire's baldness. It was so boring. I really like Quagmire episodes so much and Quagmire is a funny character of Family Guy but Quagmire was so unfunny in this episode. The only good scene of the first mintues was when Peter said "Wiggity". At least Quagmire scenes was over after 7 minutes. This episode was a bit unfunny but i didn't give a low score because this episode was so interesting and it has some funny scenes. I laughed the comedy club scene and Lois' phone gag. It was so funny when Brian called Stewie as "Stu". The first minutes are so boring but the other mintues are so great. Also this episode is the one of Stewie/Brian episode. I really like Stewie/Brian episodes so much and I liked that episode too but it's not the one of the bests. 6.5/10moreless

The Quagmire scenes early on were not only pointless, but a little bit boring. It got a tad funnier as the episode progressed, but it was still a show full of liberal agenda and paranoia, and not even a really entertaining one at that.

Based on a true story.....

Anyone smart enough would know that everything happened in this episode is in fact true. The episode revealed that a cure has been made and has been in existence for a long time just that big pharma doesn't want to reveal it because its making so much money without one. Such as donations and purchasing of chemo which costs a lot

A clever title goes here!

7.0

This is a decent episode. A rare treat, in which the episode may actually affect the story line in later episodes. Carter finding a cure, and totally betraying Louis. It will be interesting to see if this will actually be part of a story line, or if it is just another random episode that doesn't have any effect on the rest of the series.
