Gotta tank the score here because there isn’t an original song this go ‘round.
I’d say either skip this one entirely, or if you feel like watching it just to complete the set, sandwich it between two of the better episodes. Plus, they end the episode with a downhill ski race, and they don’t make a single reference to Better Off Dead? On Her Majesty’s Secret Service? Hell, even Hot Dog… The Movie? C’mon, man. For example, they’re traveling from Rhode Island to Aspen… Wait, isn’t that the same basic plot as Dumb & Dumber? That could’ve been a gag, but I don’t know if that would’ve been better or worse. Yes, I’m saying the following about Family Guy: It feels like there were numerous opportunities for pop-culture references that were never seized. The B-plot with Peter and Meg does a lot of heavy lifting here, and while abusing Meg has always been a staple of the show, they go so far that it gets hard to watch at times. That bit could’ve been a cutaway gag in any other episode. The duo really only makes one stop along the way to Gettysburg National Cemetery (because… reasons). They hitchhiked most of the way there (off camera, no less). We really don’t see Brian and Stewie go on an adventure here.

Lois arranges for Meg to drive Peter around until he gets his license back. Meanwhile, Peter gets his license suspended after trying to jump his car over a row of cars on the street. Brian and Stewie discover that the neighbor who bought Rupert moved away to Aspen, Colorado, setting the pair off on their cross-country adventure to get Rupert back. In this episode, Brian accidentally sells Stewie’s teddy bear Rupert at the Griffin’s yard sale. And since our main editorial rule is that if it’s worth analyzing, it’s worth overanalyzing, we’re gonna rate them on story, quality of the jokes, casual watchability, the big song-and-dance numbers and their iMDb rating - because what the hell do we know? 8 “Road to Rupert,” Season 5, Episode 9 So, we’re gonna rank these classic Family Guy “Road To…” episodes from worst to best.
