Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDue to a controversy over its subject matter, this episode, a Jewish Hanukkah special, was originally produced for season 2 (as production episode 2.5) to be broadcast in December 2000, but wasn't broadcast until November 2003, almost 2 years after the show's cancellation. (Since the show wasn't picked up again until early 2005, this episode (commonly listed as 3.22), should ideally be in a season by itself as episode 4.1, and season 4 and on should really be season 5 and on.) Similarly, a Christmas special, also considered controversial, was made for around the same time (production episode 2.3), to be broadcast in season 2 around Xmas 2000, but was not actually broadcast until season 3 just before Xmas 2001 (as episode 3.16).
- GoofsPeter and Chris are already in Las Vegas, waiting in line at the Bar Mitzvah Chapel when Lois learns where they've gone. She makes the two-day drive to Nevada and runs three miles to Las Vegas while they're still waiting.

- Alternate versionsSome syndicated airings cut short the infamous "Quagmire reaching for his keys" scene. Also, all TV airings change the line "even though they killed our Lord" to the less-offensive "I don't think they killed our Lord" during the I Need a Jew song.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Three Stooges (2012)
Season three of "Family Guy" sees the family move to south in Witness Protection. Peter (Seth MacFarlane) discover his secret black heritage. Brian (Seth MacFarlane) and Stewie (Seth MacFarlane) head on a road trip to England, whilst Peter and Lois (Alex Borstein) follow KISS on tour. Peter discovers that the solution to all his life problems is a Jewish accountant.
The show was cancelled again prior to the release of this season, so for a while it looked like this would be all she wrote for what would become a long running show. The healthy DVD sales and repeat viewing figures on adult swim would save the show though. The season also includes to previous banned "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" episode - which doesn't actually seem that controversial, when you actually see it. It also has a return for the "Road to" concept, which again sees a musical adventure for Brian and Stewie.
Again, there's no obvious downturn in quality for these epsiodes. I laughed a few times across the run and was generally amused by them throughout. I'm going to keep going on to season four.
