You know, I've debated whether or not to review this episode (http://officialfan.proboards.com/thread/510437/tooncrap-seahorse-seashell-party-family) for a long time. A lot of the reason I've steered clear from it is mainly because this is one of those Family Guy episodes that pisses me off. In fact, I can say that about damn near every Family Guy episode in recent memory. Hell, I talked about one that tried to find comedy in domestic abuse. And for as bad and reprehensible as that one was, Seahorse Seashell Party may just be on par with that one.
Seahorse Seashell Party was part of a concept of the Family Guy writers to take all three of their shows and devote an episode each about a hurricane that goes through The Cleveland Show, into Family Guy, and all the way into American Dad. the trilogy (for lack of a better term) was to air in late season 9, but due to actual tornado disasters, Fox didn't feel devoting episodes to killer storms would be wise, so the episodes were moved to early into the next fall lineup.
For the other two episodes, I can't really complain about them. The Cleveland Show episode was forgettable, much like The Cleveland Show itself to be honest, and American Dad's was okay, but again, nothing spectacular, even for them. But it's the one smack dab in the middle that remains the one everyone remembers, for all the worst reasons. Why exactly? Well, let's see why as we review this thing.
