For me, the quality of Family Guy went down a lot in Season 8, but they can still make really amazing episodes, this one being an example.

This was a great start to Season 9, and iirc the third one with James Woods in it. Peter gets invited by Woods to go to a special dinner in his honour, where it turns out that he has actually invited almost everyone in Quahog to make amends for what he has done to them in the past. Then, Quagmire's annoying guest Stephanie suddenly gets murdered, followed by James Woods.

This is a murder mystery episode, and not one where at the end one character says 'WOAH GUYS! THIS WAS ALL A GAME!', no, the characters that die here are gone from the rest of the series.

10/10

P. S. Do not expect the same level of quality from all other Season 9 episodes.

It's 2 AM and I'm writing this on my phone. Telling you all this just to show how dedicated I am and how strong I feel about how cringe this episode is. I feel like this show how descended from great episodes always to very hit or miss episodes.

This is a big miss. Every joke seems forced and is unfunny, and the karaoke part lasts too long and is not very good at all.

The only thing about this episode that makes it stick out is that it furthers the plot a lot with Bernardette telling the rest of the cast that she is pregnant, which is not done well anyways. I swear that there are 2 show writers. One is a genius and the other is a 50 year old morbidly obese person on acid. This episode was written by the latter.

3/10.
