Cool Hand Peter

In the episode, Peter Griffin and his friends Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland (who has returned to Quahog) decide to go on a road trip to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Whilst driving, they are stopped by a police officer, arrested and thrown in jail by the sheriff who abuses his power, and plants marijuana in their car.

When Peter gets tired of his wife, Lois, constantly demanding for him to do chores, he and the rest of the group decide to take a road trip to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Whilst their husbands are away, Lois, Bonnie and Donna proceed to enjoy "girl time", resulting with them doing wine-induced childish antics which include forcibly dressing Brian in a humiliating bumblebee costume.

Joe then wrecks the sheriff's car and shoots him in the kneecap before chastising him for his corrupt actions as a law enforcement officer, demanding he leave Quahog.

As the Georgia police force drive away, Joe remarks he is grateful to be in the north, "where people are civilized", only for he and the others to be insulted by Mayor West as he passes by on a bicycle immediately afterwards.

The actor had previously left the role on Family Guy, in order to star as the character in his own spinoff, entitled The Cleveland Show, which was co-created by Henry.

It was watched by 7.14 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, despite airing simultaneously with the Desperate Housewives on ABC, The Good Wife on CBS and Sunday Night Football on NBC.

"[5] He continued, "This week, I was at a bit of a loss, because despite a return to an older, more successful formula, with a clearly plotted path, Family Guy didn't muster up enough material to fill out the A-plot of a half hour.

"[9] Moore also commented, "it's a pretty weak episode of Family Guy, where the most memorable joke of the night involves a thought bubble where Quagmire pulls a string of beads out of a woman's vagina.
