“Family Guy” (8 p.m. Sunday, Fox) celebrates its 200th episode with a clever time-travel theme. Actually, it’s mostly about what happens when Brian the dog breaks Stewie’s time machine, an event that makes time run backward, depicted with extended sight gags unfolding in reverse. If you think watching characters vomit backward is clever, then this show is for you.

As someone who rarely watches “Family Guy,” I was struck by its consistently rancid tone of overgrown frat-boy misogyny. Adolescent jokes about female body parts and body functions comprised a high percentage of the humor.
