Like South Park says: "Family Guy Is written by 'Dolphins Picking Bingo Balls' Now.."
South Park really got it right with the idea that dolphins are randomly selecting balls to write the script.
Family Guy standards have lowered soooo much. It used to be one of my wife's and my favorite shows, and is none one of our least favorite shows.
The most recent episode (Season 17, Episode 8 / S17E08) "Con Heiress" is literally the worst Family Guy episode ever!
Skip right to the last 10 seconds (the only interesting part) and save yourself the pain of watching this. My wife and myself are both questioning whether to continue watching Family Guy after this. Extremely tedious.
Skip over the "long name gag" as they literally spend 1-2 minutes reciting a name and do it 4 times throughout the show as a filler material.
The song and dances are all long and tedious too, and the random non-sequitur cutaway scenes are increasingly random time-fillers which aren't funny.
Though I don't find even South Park (one of my favorite shows) offensive, I must say the humor has gotten pretty crass, going for shock value, as seen in that episode especially.
Maybe Family Guy should go the route of South Park, F Is For Family and other popular animated comedies and go for a connected story-arch across episodes (as I thought was the case with the few semi-recent "Brian gets an apartment" episodes, but sadly failed to follow through with.
Good episode.
The full long name of the old lady ... glorious! That was f***** funny

70% of the episode is filler
