Dear Family Guy writers, please stop with the Mayor Wild West episodes!
Series: Family Guy Part of Season: 22 Episode Number: 3 Air Date: October 22, 2023 Writer: Travis Bowe Director: Jerry Langford Previous episode: Supermarket Pete Next episode: Old World Harm

A Stache From the Past is the third episode of Family Guy's twenty-second season. It premiered on October 22nd, 2023 on Fox.

Plot

Peter and Mayor West confront Tom Selleck, the man responsible for Peter's loss of the Griffin house in a reverse mortgage; Brian and Stewie compete with Bruce when they open a booth at the flea market.

Why It Needs To Stay in the Past

1. The episode was extremely unfunny and had no substance whatsoever.
2. Mayor Wild West, who is the late Adam West's cousin, is a more forgettable version of Adam, which can make episodes focused on him a bore to sit through. Not to mention that he and Bruce have started to get overused lately.
3. There are disgusting moments, such as when the trash guy dumped the trash in the flea market.
4. The cutaways aren't that good.
5. Like always, the animation feels very flat and boring at times.
6. Bruce felt like an unnecessary addition to the episode.
   • Speaking of Bruce, his newborn daughter, Liza Judy Barbara from Fertilized Megg was not shown with him. Thus messing up the continuity.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Even if it felt a bit random, Brian and Stewie's story was good and funny.
2. The voice acting is great, as usual.
3. “Everyone, you’re all within 500 feet of a school!”

Reception

It currently has a 5.7/10 rating on IMDb, with many users on Reddit declaring it is the worst episode of Family Guy season 22 thus far.
