Road to... Miniseries (Family Guy)

The Road to... episodes, also known as the Family Guy Road shows, are a series of episodes in the animated series Family Guy. They are a parody of the seven Road to... comedy films, starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour.

These episodes revolve around Stewie Griffin and Brian on a road trip in a foreign, supernatural or science fiction setting not familiar to the show's normal location in Quahog, Rhode Island. The first, titled "Road to Rhode Island", aired on May 30, 2000, as a part of the second season. The episodes are known for featuring elaborate musical numbers, similar to the original films. As of 2016, there are eight Road to episodes.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) These amount of episodes have left an amazing impact on Family Guy as with the exception of Road to India, they manage to bring some of the series most iconic, heartwarming, hilarious and unforgettable moments on the show.
 * 2) The concepts are very interesting, creative, and put through a great amount of effort.
 * 3) Brian and Stewie's relationship is just heartwarming and is one of the best things about this series.
 * 4) The episodes are well written and executed to the right direction.
 * 5) The song numbers are amazing and catchy (especially the Road to Rhode Island Song).
 * 6) Even when the show declined in quality, these episodes were considered the saving graces of Modern Family Guy.
 * 7) Brian is more likable, especially in the later versions.
 * 8) Road to Multiverse is interesting as we get to see different universes.
 * 9) The jokes are always funny in these episodes and are top-notch.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Road to India was the weakest episode and easily the worst in the series as rather than being another Brian and Stewie adventure, it's your typical Brian in a relationship episode. Additionally, it has an annoying sub plot that has already been done too many times before with Peter getting a new hobby and refusing to give it up, it ended the road to series on a bad note. It also relied on Indian Stereotypes.
 * 2) Brian was unlikable in “Road to Vegas” for telling the gang member to kill Stewie instead of him. Showing how cowardly and selfish he is.
