I wouldn't call myself an avid viewer of Family Guy. In fact, I've only really watched one season (on DVD) and Stewie Griffin: the Untold Story. I laughed, I snored. About halfway into the movie, if even that, I dozed off. I literally went unconscious. My reasoning for this is that these kind of slapstick humor shows are intended to be viewed in made-for-television 20 minute segments, not a duration of an hour and a half. To endure the same "like this one time" jokes (cue reenactment of character's said past experience with humorous yet often dull comedic gesture) and perhaps pointless theme for an entirety of 90 minutes is a little much. I do very well believe that shortening the length of such a feature, being in the dumb but sometimes entertaining genre, would have caught my attention as the viewer. In my opinion, the makers of Family Guy would have been better off producing a compilation of episodes where Stewie's antics stole the spotlight.. but that's pretty much every episode, right?
