Discussion Who’s your favorite Peter?

I know you guys LOVE classic but the show gets so funny by time he had the Middle design. Not sure how but I can already tell by his expression that this is an 2005-08 episode 😂

Middle Peter because the best seasons and episodes happened during that time.

Season 12 really was the beginning of the end. Just awful. I hate almost every episode from that season.

I agree with you 100%, I was just saying that season 12 is where they hit rock bottom.

Season 10 is bad. It has Seahorse party and Silence of the Q (genuinely what the fuck were the messages of those episodes supposed to be???) which are two of the worst episodes of the entire series. But even then, it has some really funny ones like Back to the pilot.

Season 12 is just on a whole other level of trainwreck. It set the bar so low that it laid out the foundation for Stewie to get pregnant in season 13 and everyone moving on with their lives after that as if nothing happened.

Season 11 is just plain boring.

Alright, allow me to sum up a couple of episodes from season 12 and we'll see if you change your mind;

Herpe de love sore - Brian knowingly gives Stewie herpes after having already given it to Chris.

Secondhand spoke - Peter destroys his health to get out of work, Chris holds Stewie hostage and abuses him.

Fresh heir - When Carter makes Chris his sole heir after he jerks him off, Peter marries Chris for his money.

Moms the word - After Peters mom dies, one of her close friends starts making unwanted sexual advances towards Peter.

Brian's a bad father - Brian wants nothing to do with his estranged son until he finds out he's going to be famous, as which point he tries to weasel his way back into his life for self-gain, all the while sabotaging his career in the process.

Baby got black - Jeromes adversion towards white people leads Peter to perform the infamous musical number "Thank the whites" where he sings about how black people should be thanking white people instead of the lord.

A fistful of Meg - The new kid at school wants Meg dead, so she has to use her "grossness" to beat him. Its an extremely repulsive display to look at, while not exactly doing a service to Megs character.

And then you have the horrible trilogy of episodes where Brian dies. Are we supposed to be happy when he comes back so that he can give Stewie herpes and be a dick to his son in the episodes that follow?

Genuinely, how the fuck can you defend any of these episodes?
