What did you think of “The Juice is Loose”?
March 17, 2009 by Wendy Boswell
March 15’s Family Guy episode, “The Juice is Loose”, was about a winning raffle ticket that pairs Peter with O.J. Simpson for a golf outing. After befriending him, Peter brings O.J. home to meet the family. However, the people of Quahog aren’t too fond of the former running back.
There were some funny moments, like all the OJ Simpson jokes:
OJ Simpson: Hi, are you Peter Griffin?
Peter: That’s my name, don’t put a knife in it.
But overall, uh, oh boy. I can’t say anything nice about this episode. Jokes about shaken baby syndrome? An ENTIRE Conway Twitty song (five minutes long) used as filler? And please, didn’t the OJ Simpson joke train pull out of the station like five years ago?
Please, Seth, you can do better!!

The O.J. Simpson episode was one of the worst episodes of Family Guy in the whole series. Unfortunately, many of the recent episodes fall into the category of worst Family Guy episodes ever made. The one earlier this season when they went back in time with Mort to Nazi Germany stands out as a particularly bad one, too. Is Seth MacFarlane just simply out of ideas or is he just getting lazy (i.e., smoking too much pot)? If the episodes this year don’t improve, this will be the first DVD set I won’t be buying.
