Family Guy: Every 'Road To' Episode Ranked Worst To Best

8. Road To India

One of the reasons why the ‘Road to’ style of Family Guy episodes are so popular is not just because of the dynamic between Brian and Stewie, but because of the adventure they go on. There is usually a fun story either on the journey or at their destination, but 'Road to India' had none of this.

As Brian fell in love with Padma, a tech support agent based in India, he flew out there with Stewie to find her. The narrative of him trying to raise the money in order to pay her father back for the dowry he already offered on her arranged marriage just wasn’t compelling.

It felt more like a normal episode of Family Guy than a ‘Road to’ episode, and a poor one at that. Not to mention that it was peppered with too many poor jokes about Indian culture to ever really be that enjoyable.

As one of the few ‘Road to’ episodes with a B story, 'Road to India' even boasts the worst of these, as Peter going to bingo and stealing the hobby from Joe was incredibly uninspired. It seemed like it only existed to fill time in the episode because the A story couldn’t last for 20 minutes.
