I say that "Untitled Griffin Family History" was a cheap imitation of a format occasionally utilized by "The Simpsons" (most recently in last month's "The Wettest Stories Ever Told").
It seemed as though the "Family Guy" writers took their worst ideas for cutaway gags and dragged them out into startlingly unfunny full-length segments. I mean, "Peter Hitler"? Come on! That was a ten-second joke (at most), and it still wouldn't have been very good. The Hitler gag from the pilot episode was funnier than this entire episode, and I'm including the amusing "Godfather" discussion (which was the highlight for me).
