Season 4, Episode 15: Brian Goes Back to College

Recap: When it’s revealed that Brian never finished college, Brian decides to return to obtain his last degree. However, he must deal with his temptations to cheat in order to pass the class. Meanwhile, Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe become the new “A-Team” after winning a costume contest.
When is it on: Current and future airings of Family Guy.

Season 4, Episode 3: Blind Ambition

Recap: After Quagmire rescues a woman who collapsed from a heart attack, Peter does whatever he can to achieve something he’ll be remembered for. His ambitions, however, ultimately cost him his eyesight. Meanwhile, the Giant Chicken from “Da Boom” returns to challenge Peter to a rematch.

My take: Fricking Great!

Peter and the chicken go at it in one of the best fight scenes in cartoon history that includes a car collision, a train sequence, a cliff dive, a cruise ballroom to boiler room fall, which leads to the cruise ship crashing into a pier, the city, the airport, and the grand finale a grizzly airplane propeller ending.

Season 4, Episode 2: Fast Times at Buddy Cianci, Jr. High

Recap: Brian becomes a substitute English teacher, but is transferred to a class for troubled teens, and charges himself with helping them out with life in general. Meanwhile, Chris is attracted to Brian’s replacement teacher who, once she becomes aware of this, wants him to murder her husband so they can be together.

My take: Despite the storyline dealing with murder, this happens to be a great episode. For example:

I love Dodgeball, heads up
I love Bundt cake, heads up
I love the Trombone, heads up

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.

Season 4, Episode 29: Bango Was His Name Oh!

Recap: Stewie sees for a man on TV who looks just like him. Convinced this man must be his real father, Stewie takes Brian to go on a cross-country road trip with Quagmire to find him and discover the truth. Meanwhile, Peter and Lois try to help Chris and Meg get dates so that they can have some “alone time.”

My take: One of the best! The best part about watching this Family guy episode the first time is that you didn’t really know what was going on and where the story was headed with Stewie and the Stu. Watching it again is even more fascinating since you can focus on the really awesome jokes.

Season 4, Episode 28: Stewie B. Goode

Recap: Stewie’s attempt to destroy a boy he doesn’t like lands him in a near-death experience where he gets a brief taste of life in Hell. This is enough to make Stewie resolve to act nicer to everyone, though he becomes an alcoholic in the process. Meanwhile Peter gets a new job as an editorial reporter on the local news.

My take: Overall an ok show. Some eighties references like Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Peter has a stint on television in a segmet called WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS. The everyman finally has his say.
