Season Finale

The second half of the episode was solid. Peter and God in the elevator talking, covering various pop culture issues and just riffing was great.

The first half with Peter just being lazy and no story behind it, and then getting stuck to a couch? Yeah, that was bad Family Guy.

Awesome Episode

Very dark, destructive, cynical but complex analysis on Peter's character. The finale was interesting and very deconstructing. Can't wait for the 17th season of Family Guy.

Bland, uninspired and uninteresting.

This season has overall been good with moments of pure excellency (The first episode and the jab at the rampant PC culture)

This season finale had decent premises, but the episode just feels flat. The theme is overused, it's not funny, it's not creative and worst of all, it could have been so much more with very little effort.

Bad episode.

Excellent ending to an interesting season

I really enjoyed tonights episode. I was laughing out loud a lot and that is what is most important. I truly hope that Seth continues to do more episodes like this and less ones like that Stewie/Shrink debacle one.

Looking forward to season 17 of the BEST show on TV!!!

I wasn't impressed by any of it, except the James Brolin part. Don't Be A Dickens at Christmas already did this plot way better earlier in the same season.

It's not an episode I would ever want to bring up for any reason. I didn't like the Sim joke (because that would make us humans just like robots or a clump of dirt) or God being a murderer after creating things for 7 days, the whole episode isn't awful enough to complain about like The Simpsons's Flanders Ladder, and Peter still acts like an annoying ass as usual. If we still can't lose Family Guy, then I'm just as ashamed as Peter about his family being better without him. At least he still cared enough to give them his final goodbyes and tell them how much he missed them, and this bad experience helped Peter learn nothing means more to him than family. It's just a mildly bad episode I would rather just forget about and hope Season 17 has a better start. I also hope Family Guy goes longer than 4 more years and the Fuddruckers incident doesn't happen again. Ever.

The only funny part of this episode was the running joke of the James Brolin picture getting stolen. The clothes maker stole it from the dry cleaner, who stole it from the bakery, who stole it from Heaven. Also, if we humans were a simulation, we would be just like robots, and what do the aliens do when their guy dies? I would have liked this episode more if it wasn't too cynical to give Peter the kind of development Homer got in Frink Gets Testy.

This episode doesn't make any sense. When you're trying to copy something from The Simpsons at least try to do it good. Thanks in advance.

There is no god!

And there's no need for a good show like this to flirt with the subject. It only emboldens the imaginary friends lovers. A really crappy episode.

They only addressed the atheist perspective, when they could have addressed both at the same time
santifersan29 February 2024
God in Family Guy is treated differently than in other shows where he is portrayed.

In those shows, the plot serves to explain why God has done things the way he has, but in Family Guy, the theme is used humorously to poke fun at the absurdity of religious history.

However, that's why I prefer to watch stories that are more oriented towards explanation rather than humiliation, because critical thinking is used more in addressing the issues raised by the religious question. Perhaps the problem isn't so much that, on the other hand, since in The Simpsons they also used Family Guy's perspective, the difference is that in The Simpsons they actually used both perspectives, while Family Guy only sticks with one.

Starts promisingly, but then you have to skip parts.
burteriksson3 November 2019
This episode starts very promisingly, but then... they're trying to fit a couch through a door. I guess that happened in a Stars Wars episode as they show a clip of that in the episode after the next one from this (17-2). I can't watch those SW episodes. The couch? You have to tilt it and - hey presto! - it fits through the door diagonally. Magic.

Peter gets stuck in an elevator with God. That is as boring as Stewie at the psychiatrist, which took place halway through this very season. I just had to skip all that too. Sometimes you have to use the "skip 10 seconds backwards" button to watch some funny or otherwise interesting part again while watching, say, FG. But never do I have to use the "skip 10 seconds forward", except for when watching FG.
