Funny (also, dude calm down)
pledgerock11 September 2020
It's a fun episode. Wraps itself up a little too quickly but still great. The intro is brilliant. Watching the scenes with Bill Cosby is a little strange because he's such a monster obviously but it's still funny. The voice acting for Cosby is great.

I like this episode and the one before it but I wish Stewie wasn't such a jerk in the last one. Brian and Stewie usually have a great relationship in FG and their episodes are always the standouts of the series. I suppose I can understand why Stewie spit on him, Brian was a coke addict and acting like a complete ahole. I like the continuity here from that. Stewie mentions he's in show biz too and Brian's just like "cool. Great."

I read the other review from some guy who was so offended by one joke. listen, if you're so offended by a joke about the Manson family and Sharon Tate, maybe Family Guy isn't for you. That's not even that bad. The show is offensive but going back and watching it from the beginning, there's nothing too terrible here. I will say I have been offended by the show before, sometimes a joke will be in very poor taste and not funny. But that doesn't ruin the series or even the episode for me. I just don't laugh. I know the series has gone downhill and I don't watch it currently but rewatching these early eps have been giving me lots of laughs and comfort in the midst of a terrifying pandemic.

The One Where Brian Directs A Porno...

I really like this episode. It's a good follow up to the episode before. It starts off strange, considering most cartoon episodes don't carry on. It starts off with a series of events, like a car blowing up, Meg cutting wires to stop a bomb from going off, and then the sequence ends with the Griffins finding a note that say Brian went to Hollywood to "find himself". So, kind of strange.

In this episode, Brian has gone to Hollywood to "find himself" and write screenplays. He eventually gets a job directing porn and then he must try and hide it from his family, when they come to visit.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.

Great character development for Brian in this one. Brian goes to Hollywood to find success, and of course the Griffins have to surprise him with a visit at quite possibly the worst time...

Brian does Hollywood

Warning: Spoilers
The last episode Brian left to go to Hollywood to find himself and he becomes a director for an adult film and desperately tries to hide it from his family also there's this B plot with stewie that goes nowhere.

I like it has a few good gags.

Good Episode, Incredibly Stupid and Offensive Joke
jgc200627 November 2009
This is a good episode, Brian directing porn is a great premise and all in all it's pretty funny. The joke about Sharon Tate is absolutely shameful however and should never have been written, produced, televised or released on DVD.

There are a couple of stupid, offensive jokes in season 3 - the one about Jonbenet Ramsey is also woeful - but this joke almost ruins the entire season, even the entire series for me. Doesn't Seth Macfarlane have a conscience? Doesn't he monitor the writing in his own show? That joke should never have made it out of the writing room. Family Guy has always been inconsistent but jokes like this don't sit with the style, wit and humour the show is loved for.
