I love the «Road to...» episodes of Family Guy. The interaction between Stewie and Brian are usually extremely funny, and always well written.
This «Road to...» episode was however a big disappointment. I'm not even sure why, because there were lots of scenes that were amusing, but overall it left me with a feeling of unfulfillment. And for those critics who complain about the way it portrays Indians - no, that was not the problem (come on guys - it's a cartoon, not a social commentary. Stop taking everything so seriously). The flow was simply not there, something was missing, but as I've already said I can't put my finger on what it is. Have watched it several times (as with all FG episodes), but no revelations appeared «between the lines».
«The Road to Germany» remains the best «Road to...» episode so far (especially the unedited DVD version).
Better luck next time - will keep my fingers crossed that they get back on track.
