      And that's a trick question. Thanks to the status quo, Peter and Lois are doomed to be together no matter what because the status quo required them to be married. Come to think of it, Cleveland is the luckiest guy in the show. Unlike Peter and Joe, he was able to divorce Loretta early in the show and he later remarried with Donna Tubs. While Cleveland's new family had very little screentime, none of the Brown family seems to hate each other compared to everyone else. Cleveland was able to have a healthy family dynamic while his friends are in some type of hell.

    They're all suppsed to be terrible flawed people, even though Brian seems to be the only one who gets any hate for it, despite being one of the least terrible cuz his negative traits are mostly harmless.

    A character trait I miss from Lois in the earlier seasons was when they aligned Lois with Peter's sense of humor. An example being "Hey Lois, diarrhea" joke, where she finds the word diarrhea as hilarious as Peter. These type of jokes were mainly done to subvert your expectations of Lois reaction to get a funny joke. But it's little moments like that makes Peter and Lois marriage feel more special then a standard sitcom marriage.
    It was actually a key point of Lois's backstory where she fell in love with Peter, because he was himself compared to her rich friends and family. But naturally as the show went on they relied heavy on the mean spirited bad marriage/affair jokes. Personally I feel the marriages in the adult animated comedies work best, when the two characters actually enjoys their partner's eccentric personality traits. Example being Homer & Marge, Bob & Linda, and Stan & Francine.

    In the beginning of the show, Lois was seen as the glue that held the family together, the more responsible one and the voice of reason against Peter, even offering words of wisdom to the rest of the family, with the exception of Stewie. There were times that she snapped due to the pressure and you understood why she did so and you couldn't blame her, with Peter or the one responsible for this apologizing at the end of the episode.
    Now she is just as, if not more, reckless than Peter.

    I totally agree with you on this. Lois (and the entire Family Guy cast, really) were better when they were more grounded. They were a dysfunctional family who still loved each other at the end of the day. The humour came from watching Peter do something stupid while Lois had to deal with him. At the end of the episode, it would all come together and was occasionally even heartwarming.
    Now we get a bunch of non-sequiturs about Peter/Lois/etc. just being terrible. The writers forgot that being mean isn't funny in and of itself. When Sterling Archer is a jerk, I don't laugh because he's being a jerk; I laugh because either A) He's going to succeed and make everyone mad that he was right while he gloats like a kid, or B) he's going to have it backfire terribly and face the consequences of his actions hilariously. Lois and Peter don't get that; they just get to be jerks with no real punchline.
    Great stuff as usual, Mark. Thanks for the video.

    One of my least favorite aspects of family guy is how completely unbearable the characters can be at times. Lois was one of the worst examples but I think Quagmire, Brian, or Peter may be a little worse in my opinion. She became an awful person toward the family and would lose her temper constantly, taking it out on them. Also the show has this bizarre mindset later on where they think sexualizing her, because she's a woman I guess, is meant to be like a joke or something but its never funny. That Simpsons jab is in my opinion, one of the most uncomfortable things I ever sat through.
    Again though, her being awful to the family is just so infurating to watch. I get its the norm to have every character in an adult animated comedy to be an asshole, but seriously, all it does is ruin my investment cause every single character can just get away with anything. Those kind of jokes can be funny, but having each of the cast be a prick to accommodate for it all the time, just makes thing miserable.
    Sorry for the tangent but I guess the subject of cartoon characters being irredeemable dickheads is a subject I'm very passionate about.

Being expected to always be grounded, sweet and collected, forgive his husband's several affairs, fix everything for everyone, and not even the episodes were she is suppossed to either get a vacation or just break under pressure give her real space or gratitude from others. Just a, "oh, but marge, we can't have you like this, the family doesn0t work without you" great awesome now go back to your miserable life as a mid class housewife. "haha nobody here can wipe their own ass, you gotta be an overworked housewife so funny and endearing". Let the wife beat the shit out their relatives for once, honestly.

    i remember i saw someone say the difference between lois and peter and stan and francine is that lois and peter pretend they're good people and are worse off for it which makes them hard to watch and the humor fall flat but stan and francine know they're terrible selfish ppl which makes them (for the most part) fun to watch and fits the unhinged writing style. honestly most apt reading on the differences in the way the families in family guy and american dad are written.

    Peter and Louis cheat on each other so much I can’t even tell you if they’re still married or not

    Lois may not be a good mom, but at least she isn't a mom-influencer forcing her children to do things on the internet

    I've been catching up with the newer seasons and I was actually surprised how much I liked the Lois episodes, including the coffee shop one, honestly thought it was one of her better ones in a while. I guess I like the whole take the housewife to her extremes direction more than others, but I do get that something about her was lost as the show went on and she lost that motherly spark.

      i enjoy her losing that "motherly" spark, pretty tired of it on "adult" shows (no matter how shitty everything is, the mom has got to be grounded and loving, and no matter how much of an imbecile, the dad has got to have a heart of gold. come on...let them be the asses they are and express how frustrated they ar. i bet more than one viewer will apreciate the sincerity even if they are not part of the minority who comments on review channels)
