Episode Notes |
| |
The DVD version of this episode has an unaired scene that contains a hymn sung by the church's congregation.
{All singing} “God you are so cool. Although, sometimes it's, like, what's the deal? You never answer your cell phone and your messages are often ambiguous. Amen”
| Cartoon Network's [adult swim] version aired a scene not shown on the FOX broadcast where in a parody of National Lampoon's Vacation, Christie Brinkley's character drives along side Peter but instead of flirting with Peter gets hit by a semi truck.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Lois: It is so good to be home. You know I wanted us to live in a place with real family values, but values don't come from where you live or who your friends are. They come from inside, from your own beliefs
Peter: I agree Lois. Like for instance if your watching a TV show and you decide to take your values from that... you're an idiot.
Maybe you should take responsibility for what values your kids are getting.
Maybe you shouldn't be letting your kids watch certain shows in the first place if you have such a big problem with them, instead of blaming the shows themselves.
(looks into camera) Yeah.
