“Family Guy,” Seahorse Seashell Party
One critic said the show “fell flat”. “Fell flat” is actually a generous description for what the show did. Many felt that the show promoted acceptance of abuse, since the plot is about Meg retaliating after years of abuse only to eventually realize that the family needs to abuse her. Some critics felt that Meg didn’t need to be humanized at all, and it was really only in doing so that they ran into the abuse issue. Abuse aside, many thought the storyline was generally uninteresting.
