First and foremost, many fans want new "Road to..." episodes. "Road to anywhere would be cool by now. Road to Little Rock. I don't care!" wrote u/-Nsb127916_. Another Reddit user added that one aspect particularly brought them to these adventures. "I can't click next on Hulu fast enough when it's a Brian and Stewie Musical episode," added u/Healthy_Cat3555.
Everyone has an opinion on their favorites, but many conversations revert to the episode "Road to the North Pole." u/Intelligent_Blackout thought everything after that episode could be hit or miss, speculating that rapport coming from forced admiration and animosity fizzled after. They found an interesting comparison to another animation powerhouse, Pixar. "Much like having a film branded Pixar a 'road to' used to mean an episode would be above par and exceptional. While that's not the case anymore."
Assumptions about that change in quality during later adventures could possibly be explained by a major change behind-the-scenes. "To be fair road to the North Pole was the last one where Seth was still in the writing room," posted u/corndogs1001. The theory has been consistent among "Family Guy" fans who believe creator Seth MacFarlane wrote most episodes. It's a myth as MacFarlane is only credited with writing three episodes during the series run.
Where should Stewie and Brian go if they do return to those special episodes? Opinions range from whimsical to fantastical — suggestions include the pair making a trip to White Castle and the golden city of El Dorado. One thing is clear through it all; many fans wish these adventures would make a comeback.
