I think the difference between Adam West and Wild West is that the original Mayor West wasn't used very often, except for one-off jokes. Conversely, Wild West tends to take center stage every time he appears, he's very rarely just a one-off. He's fine when he is a one-off (in that episode where Peter turned Carter's house into a hotel, Wild had a joke where all his cowboy gear was identical to Bruce's gay stuff, which I found pretty funny), but he's rarely used that way.
Yes! Yes to all of that. It's not so much Wild West is a bad character so much as he's used poorly. His introductory episode should have been his ONLY spotlight episode and he should have been used as a cowboy stuff in decidedly not cowboy situations running gag at most. Adam West was basically Ralph Wiggum on steroids and bath salts, and when he did something crazy, it always landed. I'm glad they didn't try and replicate that or just recast him with a sound-a-like, but they went too far in the opposite direction with this one.
idt so, imo wild west is a dumb idea since the beggin, i'm not form usa so maybe there people found cowboy jokes more funny but he looked a tired sterotyp since day one to me
@@mightyfilm wild is like the Conway twitty gag as a character.
@@bcrunch4232 No, because even then, it was funny that one time. Plus I appreciate that it was essentially trolling the audience.
@@mightyfilm oh ok.
It’s crazy they give the old man cowboy more screen time than Cleveland’s whole family
You saying that makes my so sad😢
I liked the Cleveland show although the critics would not agree. All it was was just low ratings and nobody at the time liked the show
true
but i kida liked that show
well sam elliot's actually entertaining, cleaveland's family sucks and is just a watered down griffin family
@@BurgertubeFounderSam Eliot has been a terrible replacement for Adam west, idk how anyone can have this opinion without memeing
Lois says “you thought this was the flea circus like in Coraline”
Ma’am, that was a jumping mouse circus 🐁 🎪
Yes! I got all grumbly about that
The fact FG is a high budget show and botched that up is laughable.
The reason why Seth is blamed for modern family guy episodes is because he still voices the characters while Matt groening doesn’t do any voices which I personally believe is fair because Seth is saying yes to this unfunny dialogue and jokes
The Fox Network won't let him end things with Family Guy or allow Seth MacFarlane to walk away from things altogether. He practically has a ball and chain on one foot at this point.
He actually wanted it to end since season 3, but of course Fox wouldn't let that happen. Happened again sometime in season 7
@@iwantbellpeppers didn’t fox purposely sabotage the show for the first three seasons?
@@josephnewsome2935 From what I got, it was due to some of the lower ratings
That’s hard to believe a bit considering he doesn’t wrote for the show anymore his name is just on it
Sam Elliott has done amazing voice work, Most notably Ben from Barnyard, The old hound from Marmaduke 2010, and the dad T Rex from the Good Dinosaur. Mayor West just doesn't have the impact those characters do.
Barnyard was most notably where I first knew about Sam’s voice.
@@officialanneboonchuy180 Honestly, Same
It isn't actually that, he has never really been a "comedic" character. Barnyard is a hilarious movie, but Ben was the least funniest character and his death was the most emotional part of the movie. Them trying to turn someone with Sam's bedtime story voice into a "comedic" character just doesn't work. He works much better for emotional and action type work.
The only movie I have seen where Sam's character was actually funny for being what it was was when he narrated in 'A Million Ways to Die in the West.' THAT worked perfectly and that is the only real way you can make that kind of voice comedic.
He was the best part of Ghost Rider
Ok cool? But he sucks in cartoons so that means nothing
Carol's (Lois' sister) baby also disappeared after the episode it was born. It was certainly a prop baby.
And so did quagmires daughter not the one who got adopted the second one who was a teenager who came to live with him. Just had one episode centered around it then never seen again
Anyone remembered when Cleveland had a brother?
she had a baby?
@@marillstealer495 yeah. Season 3 episode 11. It's also the episode Bertrand was introduced. Peter helped deliver the unnamed baby boy and it gave Peter and Lois the idea to have another baby. Stewie was not happy about it.
@@pokelynke8232 thats right I remember the scene where he goes through the drive through
I think one of the reasons why the baby isn't with Bruce is because Jeffrey is at home taking care of the baby. They probably just haven't figured out plans for her yet.
Is anyone else feeling like the increased presence of Bruce is so Mike Henry could have a continued regular presence in the show after giving up Cleveland and it NOT be propping up a pedophile (as in the alternative being Herbert)?
Yup
i think its fine, bruce is a solid and likeable character, but herbert is pretty one-note and probably not as easy to use regularly
@@gktoliverHerbert had actually been used a lot until at least Season 18.
Good, we honestly need more Bruce in family guy
Yes.
It’s weird that they keep trying to insert new characters while Cleveland’s family is completely wasted and ignored in spite of them already having established personalities that could work with the show
I actually liked how boring it was😅 But Family Guy is my comfort show, so the standards are relatively low.🤣 If I can chill, or fall asleep, or just laugh at the random cutaways while watching it, then it’s a “good” episode.
i agree
Family Guy as well with The Simpsons are my comfort shows as well.
Agreed as well. Even if I’m not paying attention and it’s in the background, things don’t seem so bad if I can leave it running. I tend to go to the same seasons though. 😅
@joshmowery3626yes
american dad is way better
I find it personally hard to believe that people are giving this episode the Brian Is A Bad Father treatment. This episode compared to what that episode had, is completely different, and wasn't mean spirited.
Yah “Brian Is A Bad Father” is unforgivable for that infamous joke of Peter c**t**g his wrists.
Why they didn't pick the librarian lady as the new mayor? She is adorable and her interactions with Stewie are amazing. They could give her a cool past or some dark secret. This new mayor is so boring. His story went from point A to B so fast, did they make any jokes in between?
It'd be interesting because that would make Dr. Hartman the first man of Quahog. Imagine the hijinks.
She is easily one of the best characters in the show right now, and she is always so nice to everyone.
HES VOICED BY SAM ELLIOT!
say her name
elle hitler
do u mean elle Hitler
you might say Mayor Wild West is a bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington
No one can top Buzz
We're patrying here...
This episode felt like a story they might have done in the golden age, but by writers who are too timid to have as much fun as they did on A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Bucks.
Truth be told, I was paying too much attention to the Stewie vs. Bruce Antiquing B-plot to care about Wild West or Tom Selleck. I do think that the guy dumping trash near Bruce's booth felt like too ridiculous of a Deus Ex Machina, just at as ridiculous as that pLace episode where Brian and Frank, Jr.'s new club promptly folds just because Andy Dick walks in, but that and whole Chris's narration while being locked in the car thing were arguably the most creative gags in the episode.
As for the Reverse Mortgage commercials, you might get surprised to know that Henry Winkler was doing them before Tom Selleck. Yeah. Now that would have been funnier: have Peter get the reverse mortgage because of his long established love of "The Fonz." Surely, he wouldn't steer him wr...wr...rr...😜🤪🙃
The Andy Dick joke makes sense if you Know the lore behind Andy Dick, to condense a hell of alot, he would show up at parties and proceed to be a unhinged lunatic ruining the experience for others to the point it became well know in hollywood circles that when Andy Dick shows up the party is basically over, I agree with you about "The Fonz" being the one to convince Peter being a MUCH better idea, unfortunately the current writers would need to have respect for the characters/worldbuilding and they've clearly show to have given up on that.
agree completely. the brian and stewie storyline was much more entertaining. but i’ve always enjoyed wild west as a character too, so that wasn’t bad for me either. it wasn’t a particularly exciting or thrilling episode, but it was nice, easy viewing.
As a frequent flea market goer (I even got some of my Family Guy figures from them!) I honestly LOVED this episode’s b-plot, one of my current favourites!
It’s actually surprising to see Family Guy to top itself when it comes to worst episodes. I stopped watching after “Quagmire’s Mom”
I disagree. That episode wasn't that terrible imo.
@@BrianIsTheGOAT594wasn’t terrible but I could see why people could stop watching tho
GREAT LYDIA LOVES TIMELINES WORST EPISODE SERIOUSLY
Seth himself thinks Family Guy should have ended in 2009 or 2010.
You should katch up on seasons 20 and 21 they were awesome. The biggest comeback ever
The harry and megan bit made me realize family guy’s current pop-culture cutaways have gone from “a thing happened and boy was it funny” to “so… ~this~ happened🥴”
The Tom Selick plotline wasn't too interesting to me, but I loved the plot with Stewie and Bruce competing against each other at a flea market. I hope they continue to use him as much as this season has.
All it all, I don't think it was that bad.
Is it really that surprising that Bruce's baby never showed up this episode? Didn't Carol have a baby that never showed up again 😂
Yeah, I remember she had a baby and her ex husband had just left her.
Why would a baby be at a flee market besides Stewie? She is with her other father.
@sparklingdaisy3169 the ex husband who I'm pretty sure never showed up on screen either 😂
@icecreamhero2375 maybe have Jeffery come with their daughter to try make Bruce come to some other arrangement
Even if its just a small appearance it's still continuity
How can Family Guy be failing so hard now Yet American dad can still pull out classics to this day?!?
It's terrible. The only reason why it hasn't been cancelled is because it still brings in new viewers who haven't seen the older seasons. I stopped watching after season 10. With screams of silence. Idk why people keep watching
Because Seth McFarlane WRITES on American Dad, hes done with Family Guy
American Dad still keeps me happy. Family Guy devolved into a dumpster fire years ago.
@@forestreflection2066And I agree.
@@helplureI've looked at some of that season. In my opinion, still no better. Anyway, I'm standing by what I continue to watch.
8:18 For whatever same reason they gave Quagmire a daughter (twice) and then never addressed her again.
Honestly...when it comes to IMDB specifically, I think its more due to review bombers reviewing it before it airs. It always happens to The Simpsons (strangely enough, the ones who review bomb Simpsons are from the UK)
I just went and watched the episode before starting the video.
I wasnt the worst but it was pretty bad, I think it's cool to try and have a message a I guess.
My issues are
1 they continue to not know they're audience and have not found a voice for the show since cutting back on cutaway 🥁
And
2 American Dad does this style of episode WAY better. In my opinion, almost none of the family guy characters are vehicles for jokes and when the jokes don't land it's super obvious.
Whereas with American Dad, these characters feel much more real. They deal with and address issues, they learn and grow, they do things that are not related to a punchline
Yeah tbh I zoned out during the A plot and only paid attention to the brian and stewie plot
OLD GOOD CARACTERS: GONE
NEW BAD CARACTERS: WHOLE EPISODES
The mayor is kinda like that Grandpa, he don’t get along with, and he tells stories that you don’t really care for. And some things he does I question. I mean I get more laughs at Jerome than the mayor.
You just have bad taste in characters, Jerome sucks.
Wild West is just not working for the show.
I am begging you to please cover this past season of American Dad. It's so good, especially the second to last episode
I actually liked his introduction episode especially the scene where Peter fights his moustache! 🤣
First I thought Spongebob was overplayed, then the Simpsons, thought American dad was slowly declining, but Family Guy has to be the ULTIMATE expression of "beating a dead horse". At least the other shows know where they came from, but Family Guy is no doubt the collective & official waste of Seth Mcfarlene.
American Dad has actually picked up in its quality (imo), I agree that it started declining but its now SO MUCH better than family guy (Again, my opinion)
@@thunblot78 I agree, at 1st decline, now slow incline
@@thunblot78And I agree with your opinion of American Dad staying quality again. Either way, I'm not giving up on AD. A lot of people out there are still defending and actually watching Family Guy.
@@thunblot78 It’s stupid you say that Family Guy is waste of Seth McFarlene and why you said he have a collective and official waste ?
Id find it kind of funny if the giant chicken became mayor and closed down the clam just to screw with peter which makes him run for mayor and he wins it and then realises a lesson about something and then the chicken goes back to being the new mayor
9:27 yeah thank you for the herpe jumpscare lol 😂
Not sure if it helps or not but the humor of Peter's new boss kinda relates to The Orville. Preston is voiced by Peter Macon who plays Bortus on the Orville. So the deadpan delivery of lines is basically the same as that character.
Bortus is definitely funnier imo
I like wild west but he should be kept a minor character to b plot. He seems dull probably because he is just the most normal and level headed person to exist in this show
Yeah the character is getting over utilized. He fundamentally should be a recurring character, and not a main stay of the cast. Literally the whole joke is just that he's a stereotypically masculine cowboy who does manly cowboy things. He doesn't really have chemistry with any character in particular and they don't do anything with his personality, they just give him weird quirks like having some weird ability or having some weird fear.
I think this episode was wow boring
I'm not sure if this was pointed out by anyone else, but by production order, this episode was made before "Fertilized Megg". As for why this episode aired after it, I'm not sure. But hopefully that clears up the continuity issue.
It was just so boring
You should look into it but I think Seth stopped writing the show and just voices now. So might be why characters aren't clicking anymore (new ones )
He stopped writing American dad as well ages ago and that seemed to have gotten better over the years. Some shows can still be great even long into there run American dad,always sunny in Philadelphia etc but family doesn't seem to be one of them right now
I legit caught the episode airing live and had the most blank feeling watching this episode. I didn't feel any type of emotions for most of it. Just a blank face.
Also, for that comment about Bruce's baby, this episode was produced before Fertilized Megg as this episode had the prod. code MACX19 while Fert. Megg has the prod. code NACX01. So this episode has some of a reason for the baby not appearing. Though I wonder why they couldn't put a line about her somewhere, but hey this is Family Guy.
I actually love mayor wild West and Sam Elliot quite a lot. I love hearing him talk honestly
same here
I honestly feel like family guy still has the pieces to be good, they just don’t focus on the right characters. They could make Rupert have more episodes, use dr heartman more, the librarian, that blond guy Chris worked with, give Brian another long term girlfriend. We don’t need Wild West or loads of kindergarten episodes.
Ima be real chief, all family guy episodes have been mid for years. So the mayor west episodes don't feel that much worse to me
Whenever Mayor West comes on screen, it's hard for me to not think about Ben from Barnyard whenever I hear Sam Elliott's voice.
same here
Another Lydia here, long term FG fan, agreed, the only bit of this episode that made me chuckle was when they announced how close the market was to a school and they all ran away, obviously not allowed near schools 😅
After second episode i tought this season could be good, but I was wrong
I got excited because I thought that Brian and Stewie's booth said "Baby, Bitch, and The Wardrobe" but alas
"Knocking out episodes without having fun" has been an apt description for a bit now
2:46 I actually know Sam Elliott best as the voice of Ben the adopted father of the main character Otis in the CGI movie Barnyard
The Dude thumbed down that comment and Bunny won't suck your !@#$ for $1000.
edit
and Brandt won't have to pay $100 to watch
I don’t know why they’re trying so hard with Wild West, they’re going to have to replace his character when Sam Elliot inevitably dies.
Mayor Wild West feels like an insult to the Mayor West we all like.
I actually didn't mind Bert and Sheila, Peter's former bosses when Angela passed away. They weren't terrible new characters imo. Idk why they were replaced so quickly, especially by someone so boring.
A really funny idea for the Stewie B plot would be all of his antiques are things from the 90s.
Disney has successfully ruined Family Guy!!
Yeah. Because Family Guy was totally doing fine prior to Disney buying them. (Sarcasm).
@@MegaSoulHero Hooray, Captain Obvious 😂😂😂
Mayor Adam West was a better Character than Wild West, Because He had this GOOFY kind of Personality, That just fit into The Show More.
One thing that also bugged me was the comment relating to the trade center, come on Peter can't be that stupid
Really wish they could have gotten Burt Ward as the new mayor.
Things around wild west aren't wacky enough to make the straight man bit really work.
Anytime I thought the episode was building to a funny joke, but it never did.
I think with the B plot, it had a great setup, but they made it so boring, the episode felt directionless.
It was definitely forgettable
The new mayor is just terrible. Has yet to make me chuckle.
I feel like the creators of Family Guy watched an episode of Fairly Odd Parents that features Doug Dimmadome, and thought “Hey, we should make Quohog’s new mayor a cowboy like him!” Unfortunately, they failed to make Wild West as interesting or even likable as Dimmadome.
I think the new mayor's boring because there is no joke. He's just...a cowboy. It's as uninteresting as the modern strong-woman archetype for the same reason.
Something abiut family guy jokes being more tame is a strange change.
Also those comrcials were always odd to me.
0:45 lois is lying- carter is billionaire and she asks in secret. So yes they do have that kind of money lol
I thought the best joke of the episode was "it's Hey, Alright, Reverse Mortgages, or H.A.R.M."
And the B plot of the flea market was so accurate. I remember being a little kid and loving to go to flea markets, getting second hand video games, yugioh cards, and more. And there were so many old people swapping old knic knacs.
we need another “and then there were fewer” like episode to remove these boring characters, i don’t understand why they refuse to use cleveland’s family
As someone raised by their grandmother with only local channels I can probably resist the commercial with tom celiac
The only time I ever laughed at the new Mayor West was in his debut episode, with the whole "By the way, I can levitate" bit.
I was going to say, I really think Mayor Wild West is the biggest nothing burger character on the fucking show.
Like he's not mean spirited or awful or anything, but his entire character is just the one trope and he's just so fucking boring.
Wild West is an alright side character, but him having more than 10 seconds of screen time per 3-episodes is too much.
Am i the only one that miss when stewie and brain go on crazy adventures such as time machine, supernature and scientific inventions.
I was with this episode right up until act 2. It sounded like a classic pre-cancellation era Family Guy pop culture obsessed set up. Peter mindlessly believing what Magnum PI says, screwing the family as a result, and then wanting revenge on Selleck. Problem is, in an older episode, the third act would have been entirely Peter and Tom going at it, Chicken Fight style. Hell, if it was even a mid-season post renewal episode, at least we'd have Brian tearing down the Reverse Mortgages scam for what it was. I agree, Wild West (should be called Mild West) ruined the episode with his painfully unfunny, kindly grandpa schtick, and they seem they actually tried to get the real Tom Selleck because they treated him with kid gloves. Plus, I'm glad I saw an international take on this episode, since these commercials ARE relentless (though usually delegated to daytime programming seniors watch), but the joke stops dead at "this is a US reference only." Worst yet, the commercial was the best joke in the episode, and the entire episode hinges on the reliance that you get the reference. Plus, I'm getting tired of the bad observational humor. I know we shocked the audience to death so they're completely desensitized to shock humor, but it feels like the ENTIRE show is starting to show its age. Like it KNOWS the Gen-Xer's who watched this show back in 1999 are getting older and starting to basically say "You're all in your 50's, now. Enjoy the old people comedy."
Oh, and the less said about the B plot the better. If anything was more dull than Cowboy Grandpa, it was this low stakes, "you have to be in the places we've been and know the people we knew" type humor that turned me off. It's like they threw that child molester/sex offender joke in at the last moment to say "hey! We're still edgy! We're not staring at the abyss that is 60. We can shock you still, right?"
the only thing that saved this episode is the gag about 200-500 feet away from school
I'm wondering if the problem is with Family Guy is the Cutaway gags when I was watching season 21 compared to the older seasons the show definitely feels empty without the Cutaway gags. There are some still here and there but they've been just cutting to random people instead of making funny skits like the Kool-Aid guy or the Jetsons or The Flintstones
Those cutaways gradually became repetitive and those pop culture references are one of many examples of the show rehashing a lot of their schtick.
I thought this episode was decent. I liked the b plot with Brian and Stewie at the Flee Market. Stewie trying to make deals with people and only rasing the price by one dollar was cute. I wish there were more cutaway gags though.
I actually really like Doug
He dead now
@@Zamasulover yeah I know
I LOVE the new mayor west!!! 😅 I love that comment here made to Peter which felt like Sam Elliot talking to Seth MacFarlane about how funny does have to be about knocking down. That felt real to me idk call me a sentimental but I am enjoying the wholesome turn the show is taking
speaking of absent baby and lack of continuity, does anyone else remember when Lois sister carol had a baby boy in s3 and was never seen or mentioned ever again??
No, I didn't recognize those commercials, but I also certainly recognize those TYPE of commercials.
Yes, it was a bad episode. But mostly just boring.
Some of the WORST episodes I've ever seen include Stewie going to see the therapist (offensively bad), Stewie getting pregnant (famously bad), and tons I can't even remember.
"Why is it so hard for the Family Guy Writers to write funny new characters"
Because the writers haven't been funny since Season 4
7:33
Why is this so funny to me💀😭
But wait, Lois once said “Daddy pays our mortgage” so how the hell could Peter have gotten the ‘Reverse Mortgage’ in the first place? (I know Family Guy rarely keeps to its own continuity but it’s been mentioned several times) also I get the New Mayor Moustache hate, but I think writing a new zany character to replace Mayor West would have felt disrespectful to the character and Adam West himself (R.I.P) 😞😞😞
Also I love Tom Selleck, actually watch him in Blue Bloods all the time, but had no clue he did commercials, you taught my brain new stuff!
Thanks for the new review Lydia and hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙
I don’t know why the writers of Family Guy treat Cleveland family so poorly
What is wrong with this Mayor West? I like how chill he is. It's good they want to added more chill characters. Most of the characters are overly wacky at this point and you can't really add more wacky characters to the cast. Plus his voice is relaxing.
Fr I like him
How can Peter sign a reverse mortgage? Don't Lois parents pay the mortgage of the house I guess the writers just forgot Also Tom Selleck character name on Blue Bloods is named Frank Reagan 🤨
I actually like Mayor Wild West. Sam Elliott's voice is just soothing.
I know about reverse mortgages, and most commercials aimed towards the elderly hire aging actors, but i had no idea he really did them! So many of Family Guy viewers stream, and if you watch it on network TV, Family Guy is aired at night if you're watching it live, while most commercials aimed at the elderly are aired during daytime tv.
family guy is my comfort show so tbh they just can’t do horrible in my eyes 😭✋🏻
I mean it is nice that they managed to get Sam Elliott, but it's obvious that he's more of a live action actor. I really enjoyed his performance in "Sibling Rivalry"
1:44 I'd feel her I'd just HATED The replacement for Adam West with Mayor Wild West and ever since his debue episode his NOT That Great of a character nor is he NOT a Great replacement for Mayor Adam West
Honestly, if this is how even one person finds out not to trust Tom Selleck's reverse mortgages, it's got some value.
I kinda like the idea of the B plot but I don't like the competition between Brian and Stewie's booth and Bruce's booth. It was just kinda dumb. I don't know how they could have made it better.
It says a lot about the state of modern Family Guy that the "Oh nooo" guy has played a major role in 2 out of the last 3 episodes.
35 is my favorite number
For the past few days I have had this absurd concept trapped within my mind where Mayor Wild West is replaced with Mayor Charles Martinet. I have no idea why I’d imagine Charles Martinet of all people, but go figure I guess
im a 30 yr old guy from the us, i watch ota tv on frequent occassion so yeaaah ive seen those ads a million times, theres one with henry winkler too
I didn't mind the Brian and Stewie part, but that might be because I really wasn't paying attention to the Mayor scenes.
I think the idea of making it on the commercial wasn't a "bad" idea because they do sometimes come on but it's either late at night or on those channels with Medicare, odd products, or health insurance ads. In short, it hardly comes on the main channels so it was a stupid idea, if it had been done better it would have been ok.
I wanted Linda Carter to be the replacement mayor after the passing of Adam West. mayor WonderWoman.
LoL, I literally just watched a Tom Selleck AAG reverse mortgage commercial.
