- Quotes
Diane Simmons: Our top story tonight, I will be playing the role of Anna in the Quahog Players' production of The King And I. Tom?
Tom Tucker: Thanks, Diane. In other news, I won't be going to the play because I'm sure it will be lousy.
Diane Simmons: Tom, I'm getting late word that you're a petty, jealous, closet case.
Tom Tucker: A bit of breaking news: we now go live to Diane being a bitch. Diane?

Featured review
The beginning of the mental decline of Peter
This episode isn't as good as the rest in the season, but there is still a coherent story (missing from current season) with some funny jokes. In short peter takes overs Lois's shot at directing a play. Peter makes it ridiculous and you can imagine what happens next.
I think this is the beginning of peter going from somewhat mentally stable to mentally unstable. Previous he makes jokes that are witty but you start to see his actions/jokes making him a mentally unsound. It's not a "one joke to set up the episode" like Peter writing "deceased" and death coming in the previous episode. This is Peter being dumb and dumber through out and taking it another step each joke.
Still, a humorous episode from family guy old, however this could fit in with recent family guy and you would only notice because of the animation.
