I loved Mr. Saturday Knight. Most Season 3 episodes had a slightly strange atmosphere to themselves, but Mr. Saturday Knight felt like a typical 1ACX/2ACX episode.

I'm aware they hired new writers, I was just saying that Mr. Saturday Knight felt like an earlier episode. I'm not saying that Season 3 wasn't good - it was good in it's own way. I just prefered the Season 1/2 episodes. From what I've seen, Season 3 did produce SOME real gems though (such as To Love And Die In Dixie).

Agreed. Also, in the 1st ep of 3ACX, Emission Impossible, Quagmire and the gang are VERY out of character. EDIT- "Oh, we are SO throwing you a shower!" An Example.

That was the whole joke. Normally, women are the ones who get excited like that upon word of an upcoming baby, but the writers did a little role-reversal here all in the name of humour. Quagmire was in character throughout most other parts of the episode though. "I don't wanna come between you... or do I?"

I haven't seen Lethal Weapons yet, but how the hell did Weinstein and I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar get on there? It's not like they're popular episodes or anything, or even very good for that matter.

And the Winner of the Viewer's choice is... To live and Die In Dixie! Hurrah. Da Boom will reair on Cartoon Network on the New Year's eve party at 1:30 AM Eastern Time... I think. Happy New Year!

Yay, I love that episode!
Also, I realised something today. I've always noticed that the Griffin household looked slightly different in Season 3, and I just manage to put my finger on exactly why it does... the colours of the rooms have changed. Check it out for yourself - in Season 1 & 2, the carpets were yellow, while in Season 3, they're dark aqua. Funny thing is that even in Season 3, the carpets still remain yellow in the intro.
Anyone know why they changed the colours?

They were always intended to be a 2-parter, and they were always intended to air as a 2-parter (hence one of the reasons why the DVDs go in broadcast order rather than production order), however - when they were being made, they decided to put the making of the second part on hiatus so they could make Lethal Weapons & One If By Clam. I don't know why they made 2 episodes in between, it might have been because they were tired with the Brian story, or because they needed something before making part 2... nobody really nows.
Basically, it doesn't matter what order they're made in - as long as they got aired as a 2-parter, which is what the intentions of the Family Guy staff were in the first place anyway.

I'd have to say "He's too sexy for his fat." I base this on the lines "excuse me ma'am, you aren't allowed to park your van on the diving board... oh wait your not a van. You're just a fat kid, aren't Fatty McFatty" and "I'm turning you into poo!" when Chris figures out how to catch the twinkie. I'm also a fan of the nuclear fallout episode(can't remember name) and Road to Rhode Island

Oh and I also love any episode where Chris talks about the evil monkey in his closet! I think maybe I'm bias towards Chris... of course that could be because I sympathize with the pain of hearing "the sound of my thighs scraping together when I run."

The third season was a lot more watchable than the first two seasons, but my favorite episode has to be road to rhode island. I was dissapointed by the second brian/stewie episode. The commentaries really SUCK though.

I've been able to hear a few commentaries (I have no intention of buying the sets, though) and I agree with you. They are no competition with The Simpsons and Futurama commentaries. I don't find them informative or even that funny.

I am Peter, Hear Me roar beats out Wasted Talent by just a little. I love when Peter is blaming the black men for causing bad things in the world, and his joke about women.
