I don't watch this show, but I like its episode naming convention - the number of words in the ep title corresponds to the season it's in. I hope they make it to a tenth season just so they have to come up with entire sentences for each episode title.

Were the characters ever good though? Lois, Meg and Chris were bland, Peter a Homer knock-off and Stewie a one-joke character. Brian had potential, true. But the show never really cared about the characters, that's a rose-tinted view.

Faye Dunaway's filmography in the last ten years is just baffling. The Gene Generation, Say It In Russian, The Seduction of Dr. Fugazzi, Ghosts Never Sleep, Earth Ring, Balladyna? Has anyone ever seen these films? Do they even exist? Can an iconic actress like her really not get any halfway decent roles in higher…
