Season 5, Episode 15: Boys Do Cry

Recap: The family starts going to church when Lois gets a job as an organist, but Stewie gets sick off of Communion wine, which convinces the congregation that he’s possessed. The Griffins then move to Texas, where Peter becomes a cowboy, Stewie enters the “Little Miss Texas” pageant and Chris and Meg sneak into President Bush’s ranch.

My take:

A truly great episode!

The Griffins move to Texas! They’re all backward and politically stubborn as a mule. Shouldn’t they have used stubborn as an Elephant.

Season 3, Episode 3: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington

Recap: The toy factory at which Peter works is taken over by a cigarette company who hires Peter as the new president. He is then sent to Washington, D.C. as a lobbyist so they can create toys that encourage kids to smoke, and the entire family can’t help but enjoy the perks that come with the job.

My take:

You need to be in the right mood to watch this episode. It’s good but you need to be in the right mood. There are two themes - killing strippers and smoking.

Season 3, Episode 9: Mr. Saturday Knight

Recap: Peter’s boss, Mr. Weed, dies during a dinner with the Griffin family, and the toy factory is demolished as a result. Now unemployed, and failing to find himself other jobs, Peter decides to live his dream of being a Renaissance fair jouster.

My take: Not one of the best. Some memorable scenes include Margot Kidder comes over for dinner and goes ballistic, and again and again.

“It sure beats my job at the Electric Company.”

Season 3, Episode 17: Brian Wallows and Peter’s Swallows

Recap: Brian gets a DUI and is forced to care for a bitter, old woman who used to be a jingle singer. After discovering the woman’s brighter past, Brian tries to brighten her life. Meanwhile, Peter grows a beard and houses a family of baby birds.

My take: Grizzly Adams lives with a bear named Ben and hangs out with a guy named… Steve?

Brian and Peter go to a laser rock show. If you’ve never been to one, go. They’re actually quite cool.

Season 4, Episode 24: Peterotica

Recap: After reading an erotica book that he thought was bad, Peter writes a collection of his own, leading to Lois’s father, Carter, to lose his money. Unable to cope with their middle-class lives, Peter and Carter set all differences aside and team up to get rich quick. Meanwhile, Stewie trains for the Olympics.

My take: This is a  classic!

Quagmire takes the crew to his favorite porn shop where Carol Burnett works part-time as a janitor.

Stewie does gymnastics and pole vault and eventually a floor exercise which leads to an accidental but not lethal glass would.
