Family Guy returned on a somber note tonight with “Livin’ On A Prayer” with as earnest a message as I’ve ever seen the irreverent show, proving that perhaps some things are sacred.
Lois’s plea to save Stewie’s new friend, little Scotty, was not only heartfelt but an appeal to all religious zealot parents everywhere who believe that only the power of prayer can heal their children. In the end, Lois’s earnest entreaty about the power of medicine and God convinced Ben and Hope to let Scotty receive medical help.
Even tackling serious religious issues, Family Guy managed to insert some comical moments. The highlight was definitely Peter dressed as Harry Potter in his attempts to be “sneaky.”
The icing on the cake was their mocking of famous drama-thriller movies and their sneak attacks. Mission Impossible and Ocean’s Eleven will never appear the same again.
