Contrary to the opinion of the other reviewer, I really liked the second half of this episode - it's mostly the cast beating the crap out of each other, with plenty of surreal and bizarre touches, and the punchline where Peter begins bad-mouthing the network only to have the show's budget cut - and he begins jerking around the room in South Park style limited animation - is a killer! I suppose it's whatever catches you in the mood, but I haven't seen an episode of Family Guy yet that didn't contain at least a couple of laugh out loud moments. Elsewhere, the stuff about the 'leafers' - brash New Yorkers who come to Quahog every year to watch the trees change colour - was really hilarious, and something I could identify with. I live in a British midlands town and every year there's a hot air balloon festival, and the town gets choked up with tourists and visitors for the whole weekend, turning my entire street and the surrounding streets into a big unofficial car park. I wish I had Lois on my side at times like that - better yet, Stewie, to put some mind-meld on them!
