Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStewie, Brian, and Lois "photobombed" the painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte", by Georges Seurat. Grande Jatte is an island on the River Seine near Paris, and the painting represents the leisure time enjoyed by all members of society as a result of automation and improved working conditions brought about by the Industrial Revolution.
- GoofsIn 1896 Stewie could not have had Oscar Wilde in his flat because Wilde was serving a two-year prison sentence at that time on the charge of "Gross Indecency".
- Quotes
Stewie Griffin: Hold it right there, Professor Moriarty!
Carter Pewterschmidt: *Sherlock Holmes*? How did you know it was me?
Stewie Griffin: When I see a man about to go on a sea voyage and not wearing a topcoat, with no watch fob, and whose spats are not fully buttoned...
Carter Pewterschmidt: And the jewels hanging out of my hat?
Stewie Griffin: [we see the jewels clearly visible and shining] Yeah, and the jewels hanging out of your hat.
- ConnectionsReferences Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)
However, "V is for Myster" is a sign that perhaps life at the Family Guy offices is set to role on. Quick-whitted jabs at the weirdness of life in the Victorian era, mixed with clever pop culture references and typical Stewie & Brian hilarity are all reasons to be very happy with the latest offering from Seth MacFarlane and co.
Although the ending may not be quite as satisfactory as one would hope it to be, I cannot complain. In what has been a disappointing season of unneccessary sex references, weak storylines and (at times) poor scripting, "V is for Mystery" tells me that there is light at the end of the foggy tunnel.
And now I shall await the Family Guy-Harry Potter crossover episode.
