TV Review: Family Guy - "The Blind Side"


Season 10 - Episode 11
Fox (US)

After last week's absolute stinker, this is a vast improvement. Yet it's still not even what could be classed as a great episode. 

It's a standard "Brian gets a girlfriend" plot, but this time she's blind and hates dogs. Cue him trying everything to cover up the fact that he is a canine, with Stewie helping out in a way that only Stewie can (including cutting Brian's tail off and cauterising the wound with a candle!). It doesn't go to plan and it's yet another failed relationship for Brian. He really should have stuck with Jillian.

Elsewhere Peter has trouble with the slippery new stairs in the house, causing him to decide to live completely upstairs (yup, Peter's logic is never great!). There's a great visual gag involving Joe, and Quagmire becomes even more perverted than usual.

"The Blind Side" isn't a bad episode at all, and had a lot of good laughs. It's not up there with their best, but it's far from the worst either.
