I've personally gave this season of Family Guy way more of a chance than it deserves, since I thought it was alright before this garbage episode aired (aside from the horrible season premiere). I've known a little bit about the plot through the synopsis before it aired, but it was just really abysmal after I watched it. I swear to anything that Fox is giving the show way too much credit, since it'll give the producers any amount of money to keep it alive. The way they keep doing that is like some poor person who went through a terrible accident and is currently on life support.
Onto the episode, it was pretty weak. While Stewie happened to be excited into seeing a former Jolly Farm actress as a superstar, it did not go well once him and Brian got to the concert. For some dumbfounded reason after Stewie sent a tweet to MEBR as to reference her previous role in Jolly Farm, she decided to have her fans harass him constantly for a mere " oink oink pig" tweet. Making it clear that the writers don't care about making anything in terms of quality anymore and would rather become a generic animated sitcom for its social commentary. I don't blame them for going this route, since Fox thinks that this show is still a gem for many viewers. Even though most of their fans quit watching this show a long time ago.
On the B-plot, they decided to have Peter get his weight surgically removed so that he could spend more time with Chris. This... turned out to be disgusting since all of the excess skin is just there and part of the "joke". I couldn't find it entertaining since it's just filler for the remaining parts of the episode. By the end of the episode, they just continued to peddle on Stewie and nothing has been resolved since we're supposed to laugh at the writers' take on stan culture.
Overall, I think this episode is just abysmal. I know what I'm asking for this show is way too much, since the writing team gave up not long ago. However, I just want this show to be mildly entertaining so it won't be a mess. Especially if it's going to be renewed for lord knows how long.
