- 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 king died after season 2
*Review Disclaimer: I originally watched this episode when I was like 12*
This may not be the best plot for a family guy episode. However, it does have the funniest cut away gags I believe in all of the show.
Like I said in the disclaimer, I watched this when I was 12. Nevertheless, I re-watched this episode recently and laughed just as hard like I was an immature kid all over again.
Simple plot: lois becomes director of The King and I Musical. Peter tries out but doesn't make the cut. Lois makes Peter "Producer" Peter screws up the whole show.
Tangent here, I'm honestly surprised at how mediocre the ratings of the first 2 seasons are. Especially when they have objectively the best jokes in the show.
Wraping up a review no one will see of a episode no one remembers from 14 years ago
