I think it was his fishing boat. If not, didn’t you see his blimp and helicopter?
(As for Lois getting spanked, she intended for Peter to do it and Brian got carried away!)

That’s one of those bizarre coincidences you hear so much about!
My experiences with this show are filled with such coincidences.
There are times I miss TV. This is one of those times.
So funny.
Someone yelled out, “Stephen Hawking”.
When he comes to, he goes, “Peter. You got it. I was doing Natalie Wood.”
Absolutely tasteless, as was brian hitting on meg and the aids song.
I liked the Rocky III ending too. “ding ding” and then the mouthpiece. Perfect. Too bad they didn’t end the rockys right then.
Not only did someone yell Stephen Hawking, but they also yelled a series of wheelchaired, famous people.
[sub]Rocky 4 was a classic![/sub]
A pretty lame episode. A few redeeming jokes and gags (and Lois’ spanking), but for the most part, uninspired.
Oh, and I was distracted by the new Loretta’s voice.
Oh, man! I just got that!
Thank God it’s McFarlane who writes the thing, then!

Him and, y’know, a staff of writers.
The jist of it was that she was explaining to Cleveland how he needs to be tougher, and be a real man. To get angry and stand-up for himself to prove to Loretta that he’s got a pair. In her enthusiasm, she got all hot and bothered and wanted Peter to spank her and show her who’s boss…Brian stepped up first, heheh.
Anyways, decent episode. I don’t particularly think the show is any better or worse than it was pre-cancellation. It’s always been hit-or-miss, but noble in it’s efforts. I think alot of people are the grass-is-greener types. The one thing I’m seeing lately that bugs me a bit is how much they seem to be relying on pop-culture references and retreads of old jokes respun. This episode was one constant reference to other shows and movies.
I wouldn’t quite go that far, but I do hope the “parody ending” isn’t going to be standard on all the episodes forthcoming.
Update: Fox has just ordered 22 more episodes!
IMO, that was the case with more than a few of the pre-cancellation eps as well – specifically, the good ones.

Although “tasteless” has always been a big part of the Family Guy experience, I thought that there were long periods during last night’s episode where they forgot that it has to be married to “funny” in order to work. Brian hitting on Meg – disturbing and not funny. Quagmire and the fish – maybe essential to the plot, but not funny. Stewie and the female golfer – not funny. Stewie blowing off the CPR dummy, well, actually, that was kind of funny.
Have to give them Kudos for continuity though. (“In Portugal, I was a cardiologist.”)
And completley out of character for Brian. In addition, I’m fairly certain that’s a retread of a Quagmire joke a few seasons back.
I agree with everything else you said as well. The show went from being clever to simple shock humor, which South Park does better anyway. Family Guy should stick to what is used to be good at: Being funny.
Really? Brian was hitting on Lois in one episode. Even saw a therapist about it.
I dunno; Brian’s a different dog once he’s had a few …
Well, that was in character, because Brian is in love with Lois (no surprises there; that cartoon mom is HOT). Also why the smack on Lois’s ass was not quite so ooky as hitting on Meg.
The hitting on Meg thing was disturbing, IMO, but it wasn’t exactly out of character (again, IMO). It’s what Brian does when he gets hammered. That he was trying it on Meg simply indicated to me that he was REALLY hammered.
I’m not sure if it applies to paraphrases, but here goes:
Jinx! You owe me a soda!
“To the PeterCopter!”
“Quick! to the Petenberg!”
<Cleveland> How do you AFFORD all these things…
…just what i was thinking at the time, for an often unemployed assembly-line worker/fisherman, he sure has a lot of expensive toys…
Actually, it was Joe who said that.
