YMMV / Family Guy S 5 E 16 No Chris Left Behind

• Hilarious in Hindsight: At one point in the episode, the family watches a parody of How I Met Your Mother called "How I Met Your Father". In 2022, a spinoff of said show with that exact name was released.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The Running Gag where Stewie follows fat people around with a tuba averts Rule of Three, as he only does this to Chris and a Bit Character. It never gives Peter - himself a Fat Bastard Cloudcuckoolander - the chance to deliver the final punchline himself.
• Vindicated by History: The blatant criticism aimed at the No Child Left Behind Act was controversial during the original airing. After the Act was replaced in 2015, with bipartisan support from both politicians and the public, the episode was seen in a more positive light, with its commentary being regarded as accurate and well founded.
