Bill & Peter's Bogus Journey

"Bill & Peter's Bogus Journey" is the 13th episode of season five of Family Guy; originally airing on Fox on March 11, 2007.

It received mostly mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references, in addition to creating controversy, as many Hurricane Katrina evacuees complained over their city being portrayed as an "Atlantis" in the episode.

When former U.S. President Bill Clinton's car breaks down outside their house, Peter attempts to lift it without a jack, which results in him getting a sudden severe hernia and being hospitalized.

During the end credits, Brian pretends to be using the toilet as not to be told off by Lois, and begins to leave his feces at an unsuspecting Mayor West's house.

[5] The scene of Lois and Peter mocking Stewie's picture which he drew after pretending to like it was originally designed for "Prick Up Your Ears," but was moved as that episode was exceeding its time limit.

[6] The final scene of the episode showing Mayor West delighted that he has grown sausages (although it is really Brian's waste) was one of several possible ending scenes for the episode; alternatives included Brian leaving his waste at Cleveland Brown and Mort Goldman's house, but in the end, the production crew decided to go with Mayor West.

[7] Recurring guest voice actors and writers Danny Smith, Alec Sulkin, and John Viener made minor appearances.

[8] In a slight decrease from the previous week, the episode was viewed in 8.05 million homes in its original airing, according to Nielsen ratings.

[9] This episode received yet more negative reception from the frequent critic Parents Television Council (PTC), calling it the "worst TV show of the week" for August 10, 2007.

"[10] IGN's Ahsan Haque wrote, "'Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey' has a few truly hilarious moments, but the main storyline ends up taking a backseat to an overabundance of unfunny manatee jokes,"[8] concluding to give the episode a final rating of 7.1 out of 10.
