While I love Family Guy and think it is a hysterical show, some of the newer episodes like this one have had a steady increase in bias against Bush, Repulicans, and the right wing in general. I have no problem with shows that make fun of certain viewpoints as long as that make sure all of them are equally satirized. This episode was a great example of the writers putting their own agenda into the story, detracting from the overall humor. The entire episode was a bunch of extreme stereotyping at conservatives, portraying them all as ignorant nut-jobs who spend all their time beating up gay people and the like. There were several "jokes" about Bush that fell way short of humor and just appeared to be personal cheap shots at him, something that writers should never do.
*spoilers* The basic plot of the episode was: "Hey viewers, Bush does cocaine, his wife has abortions all the time, Texans automatically execute retarded people, all conservatives hate gays, HAHAHAHA." Okay we get it Seth McFarlane, you don't like right-wingers, can we please move on? I thought you created American Dad so it could be a runoff for all your political venting from watering down Family Guy. This episode and the one where Brain holds a bunch of people hostage at gunpoint for not legalizing gay marriage just leads me to believe that McFarlane is using the character of Brian as some sort of self-insert character to try and underlace the humor with his own political beliefs.
If I wanted to get preached to for 30 minutes I'd watch South Park. At least they offend everyone across the board.
