Brian's a Bad Father (Family Guy)

Story Summary
Wiiteen meets his new son, Lightning, who really looks up to him. All he wants to do is play with him but Wiiteen is busy with other matters. He tries to learn how to be a parent through a terrible episode of Family Guy but in the process ignores Lightning until he yells at him and wants to be left alone. Lightning runs away until Wiiteen finds him, apologizes, and promises to be a better parent. Lightning forgives him while Cypher finishes the review.

Thoughts on the Episode
Both plots in this episode are awful and they are centered on the two worst characters on the show: Peter and Brian. One plot is Brian ultimately using his son's fame for his own benefit and the other plot involves Peter purposely shooting Quagmire in the arm. The episode expects us to feel sorry for both of these characters, despite their horrific actions. The only reason Brian is worse than Peter is that, unlike Peter, he's not dumb, knows exactly what he's doing, and feels no remorse for it. This episode is big example of why many people hate both characters.

My Personal Thoughts
This is Lightning's first and only appearance in the show. He was supposed to be a major character but due to changes in the Avatar Creator, he was pulled from the show.
