The funniest thing in the early seasons for me, was when Lois' dad tried to give peter a bunch of money to leave his daughter, but peter is like ''No deal, Lois might be worth a million dollars to you but to me shes worthless' see that ***** hilarious, he didn't have to pretend to be a 6 year old or make some obscure reference to be funny, it was just funny jokes delivered well.
What was sad is I kind of liked the new dog too, up until the episode where they brought Brian back. He was a good character, but that episode turned all of his attributes up to 10x what they were before. I don't recall the details exactly, though.
But the time travel stuff bothers me. Always hate those plot devices.
