I loved Stewie needlepointing “Die Lois”. ---

Was Meg’s voice different? It didn’t sound like Mila Kunis. ---

I really thought for a second that Mel’s big secret was going to be a _porn_ called The Passion of the Christ. I was disappointed. I guess that probably would have made the sponsors have seizures, though. ---

[spoiler]Shows Peter lists off as “ahead of them” on the schedule… \We’ve just got to accept that fox has to make room for terrific shows like; Dark Angel Titus Undeclared Action That 80’s Show Wonder Falls Fast Lane Andy Richter Controls the Universe Skin Girls Club Cracking Up The Pitts Firefly Get Real Freaky Links Wanda At Large Costello The Lone Gunmen A Minute with Stan Hooper Normal Ohio Pasadena Harsh Realm Keen Eddie The Street American Embassy Cedric the Entertainer The Tick Louie and Greg the Bunny \ is there no hope? \ well i suppose if all those shows go down the tubes, we might have a shot [/spoiler] ---

Just to show how much Seth Mcfarlane has stepped up his game, I took the scene where Stewie was doing needlepoint on two levels: First, they sounded like Mike and Carol Brady. Second since Stewie and Brian are both male characters and Robert Reed was gay… Just some food for thought. Chris W P.S.What was up with that guy at the end that was in his underwear and saying “It’s Good to be back” ---

> [@Tengu](#): > > He was The Oiled up Deaf Guy from the Happy-Go-Lucky Toys company picnic game of Catch the Oiled up Deaf Guy. Also, Brian’s “Oh, I got a guy,” is quite likely a reference to The Thin White Line, where he gets addicted to coke. ---

Pretty Good, though the Cancellation joke went on a bit too long. They probably should have made it half as long or just cut to the title when he was doing it(maybe finish it on the other side). Loved the Blues Brother Joke, though I kept waiting for one of them to say “This Mall has everything!” And Stewie’s head was great. ---

Not their best effort, still a good show. The bit with Gepetto encouraging Pinoccio to lie was just wrong on so many levels… ---

I am definitely glad to see Family Guy back on the air. Wasn’t it admitted on a show before that Peter has also called out a man’s name while in bed with Lois? The english pub episode as I recall. Anyone remember what the name was? ---
