Family Guy Season 10 Episode 24| 30 June 2012

I do not expect Family Guy to be the most intelligent show on TV, but the show calls back just enough to past episodes that it should be aware of its internal philosophy. Seriously, a check of Wikipedia or Google search about the characters to make sure they're consistent wouldn't hurt, would it?

At least there was another giant chicken fight. By my count, this was the first fight since the show moved to HD, and the goal seemed to be "take everything way too far."

They start fighting because Peter backs into him accidentally, 

then they wind up coincidentally stepping on one of Stewie's time travel pads and wind up fighting in the old west (in what turned out to be a Back to the Future 3 reference), before then winding up with hundreds of Peter and giant chicken clones duking it out. Then they wind up in space, before fighting on an oil tanker, which leads to another gruesome death for the giant chicken...or does it?

While the surprise that should accompany a giant chicken fight suddenly happening was ruined thanks to the Fox promo department (broadcast network promo departments are the opposite of Batman), it was still entertaining because of the overdone cartoon violence for no good reason. It also served as the only redeeming element from an episode that was philosophically baffling.
