This animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Endearingly ignorant Peter and his stay-at-home wife, Lois, reside in Quahog, R.I., and have three kids. Meg, the eldest child, is a social outcast, and teenage Chris is awkward and clueless when it comes to the opposite sex. The youngest, Stewie, is a genius baby who is bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. Brian, the talking dog, keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own issues.

The Griffins go to Springfield, where they encounter a stranger named Homer Simpson; Stewie trades his mind-control device for Bart's slingshot; Lisa teaches Meg how to play the saxophone; Homer and Peter argue about the best beer.

Peter and Chris finish last in a "Generation Gap" game at a carnival, forcing them to try to reconnect; Brian starts to date a carny, whom he can't break up with even after witnessing some of her crude habits.

Stewie and Doug compete for the honor of class snack captain.

Peter's efforts to help Joe publish a book go awry when he takes over as author; Brian starts exercising excessively after experiencing a runner's high.
