I hate Family Guy. I remember when this show used to be funny, now it is nothing but a series of desperate, unoriginal, recycled comedy bits stolen either from funnier shows (South Park, The Simpsons) or from the first two seasons. It's almost like Seth MacFarlane ran out of ideas and looks at older episodes for inspiration.
"Hmmm, if that five minute chicken fight was funny the first time around, just imagine how funny it will be a second time. People will be delighted!"
"South Park did an episode that ridiculed Passion of the Christ, therefore I must do one as well. Only make it about one tenth as funny."
"People love the pedophile. I bet if I bring him back again, it will get just as much laughter the first ten times I used him."

I'm just waiting for Seth MacFarlane to make an episode that brings back the guy who shouts, "You're a big phony." And while we're at it, why not bring back Jorad and his highway warriors?After all, Seth they were funny the first time around, therefore their reappearance should produce as much laughter, if not more. And if we're lucky maybe we'll get a Family Guy - American Dad cross over episode. If it worked for the Simpsons and the Critic, why not for Family Guy and American Dad? Family Guy is proving to be The Master of Disguise of prime time, animated television show. Good job Seth!

I agree. Its been disapointing. The greased up deaf guy from the season opener was embarrasing.
