The other day, I turned on my Direct.TV and started surfing channels. I found a show on TV called Family Guy. It looked funny, so I decided to watch it. This show is about an American family with a dad, mom, three kids, and a dog. The dog talks. So does the youngest child. Well, I think he talks. It seems like some people, especially the dog, can understand him, but I don’t think that everyone can.
Anyway, in this episode, the family is having a garage sale. Brian, the dog, accidently sells the baby’s teddy bear. Stewie (the baby) is very upset about this, but Brian lies about it. Brian tries to make it up to him by buying him a new one, but ends up telling Stewie that he sold the bear. Stewie tries to find the bear using some kind of DNA tracking device.
I thought this show was really weird. What kind of child uses a DNA tracking device. And what kind of a dog sell things at a garage sell? Better yet, what kind of a dog can talk?
Through out the show, it seemed that the dad was really really rude to his daughter, who was his personal driver for some reason. He spends the episode trying to annoy her. He even tries to set him on fire.
I didn’t really understand the humor of a lot of the episode. There were funny parts here and there, but nothing amazing. I think I will have to watch this show a few more times to be able to understand it.
