A new episode airs tonight at 9 PM Eastern. Here is the synopsis:

Stewie cross-dresses to try to get on the American version of Jolly Farm Revue.

I can't believe it's been a month since a new episode. I also can't believe they're bringing back something from season 3.

This has literally been the greatest birthday weekend ever. I had the entire weekend off of work. Thursday and Friday I was on a field trip. After getting back on Friday, my best friends spent the night for two days. We ate out at a fancy restaurant. I got Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver a day early...

And to top it off, Fox is letting us have a new Family Guy. : )

This will actually air half an hour earlier in Canada.
Global's schedule is kinda messed up since they decided to simulcast The Celebrity Apprentice at 9:00PM and air The Simpsons/Family Guy at 8:00PM.

Next week, when The Cleveland Show returns at 7:30, we'll actually be getting that a whole hour earlier than America.

Accourding to me my guide, Meg has a sub-plot involving her dating a normal guy for once.

Sorry, guys, but it's gonna be tough surpassing the excellence that was Dial Meg For Murder.

[Bloody Marquis]

Didn't Stewie stop watching Jolly Farm after realizing how mean the actors were?

[Nel]

That... was a hilarious gag. Loved how they had the doctor and Cleveland there.

Given all the people inside the Griffin household, I think people were expecting Cleveland to show up somewhere (despite him having his own show now), hence the payoff here.

[Zen Man]

Ah man that was jacked up !

[JD08]

So Stewie isn't gay and he doesn't want Brian.

Having a character laugh at a lame pun doesn't make it better, FG. Even if it's Adam West.

It must have been referencing something there.

[JD08]

Bert and Gernie look better than the original.

[DarthGonzo]

Soooo...it's over?

Was anyone else expecting that ending in which Stewie reveals his true gender a la Tootsie (of course, this episode was a Tootsie spoof to begin with)?

That was predicable ending. The episode overall was decent, but not as funny as some of the previous episodes in my opinion.

I wonder if this had to do with the mood of the episode's plots which:

1. Had one plot line that's basically a spoof of Tootsie;

2. Has a second plot line that focuses on the less funny female characters.

Great episode :anime:
My favorite part is Peter invading everyone to see that Meg has a real boyfriend XD

It's inviting, not invading.

Now enough with me being a grammar nazi, I thought this episode was bland. Neither of the subplots really went anywhere. Also, some of the jokes weren't really that great, like when they were remarking how the Big Bird parody was a big bird and how the Oscar one was grouchy.

[SpongeJosh]

This episode went by pretty fast, but it didn't really go anywhere. It was kinda dull and pretty anti-climatic. I laughed at a couple things but I can't even remember them now which says a lot about how memorable the episode was. I'm thinking this new episode was just a lead-in to Sons of Tucson and nothing more.
