>>116413887>They made Peter retarded in an effort to make him do dumb shit for the sake of itHe did dumb shit in the early seasons too, it's a part of his character, writing him to be retarded was just an explanation for it. That was a good episode anyway, it's always in the top 10 lists
>Peter gets a new job at the brewery, which replaced his iconic job at the toy company with Mr.Weed as his boss and as a FishermanThe toy factory was written out in season 3, it wasn't "iconic" it was just a minor thing that came up whenever it needed to be, the majority of the early episodes didn't need it for the stories
>Meg became a punching bagShe's been the family punching bag since the early years
https://familyguyfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Meg_Abuse>Chris became even dumber, lost his earrings and his artistic talent from the previous seasons was never brought up againHe was always dumb, he still kept his one earing in that season, and him being an artist was only brought up in a single season 2 episode
>Lois wasn't a piano teacher anymoreLois being a piano teacher was so minor that it was only brought up and shown in like 4 early episodes
>Loretta left ClevelandLoretta wasn't really much of a character anyway, she was such a minor character that she didn't really speak much before that episode. Even Bonnie was more relevant than her.
>Crippled jokes about Joe became more redundant and frequentTrue but they were funny
>Meme shit like Peanut Butter Jelly Time and Ding Fries are doneNot really any different than all the constant pop culture references that they did in the earlier seasons
>Gross jokes like "Who wants Chowder"Yeah that scene was unnecessary
>Cleveland Jr. And Kevin were written offJust like Loretta, Jr. and Kevin were both very minor, only spoke a few times and weren't used besides just a few gags. They were both in a few season 4 episodes, and barely appeared in the seasons before that
>Shitty cutaway gagsSubjective, about the same quality as 1-3s gags
