The show also finally leans into self-awareness. In “Trump Guy,” they handle political satire with the grace of a bull in a china shop—which, honestly, fits Peter Griffin perfectly. It’s not clever, but it is loud and occasionally funny.
A Decent Step Up, but the Cracks Are Showing – Family Guy Season 15 (HDTVRip) Review family guy season 15 hdtvrip
First, a note on this particular release. The HDTVRip copy is solid for what it is. The 720p/1080i broadcast capture is clean, with no major pixelation during fast-moving scenes (like the infamous "Giggity" fights). Colors are flat compared to a Blu-ray remux, but that’s expected. Sound is clear in 5.1 AC3. However, expect the occasional network watermark and—depending on your source—a few seconds of glitched frames during commercial transitions. It’s watchable, but not archival quality. The show also finally leans into self-awareness
Let’s be honest: By Season 15, Family Guy isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. You know exactly what you’re getting—cutaway gags, Peter getting into a physical fight with a chicken, Brian being a pseudo-intellectual, and Stewie oscillating between world domination and toddler problems. The good news? Season 15 is actually a noticeable improvement over the creatively bankrupt Seasons 12-14. A Decent Step Up, but the Cracks Are
The cutaways are running on fumes. Too many jokes boil down to “Remember the 80s?” or random violence that doesn’t land. Meg continues to be a punching bag (literally and figuratively), which felt tired three seasons ago. Episode 20 ( “The Unkindest Cut” ) is a skip—a boring bank heist plot that goes nowhere.
B- Show Grade: C+
This season has a few genuine gems. “The Boys in the Band” (Episode 13) is a fantastic Brian/Stewie road trip episode that harkens back to the show's golden age. “A House Full of Peters” is delightfully absurd, and “Passenger Fatty-Seven” spoofs Non-Stop with surprising wit.
