I based my guess of April 22 for the airdate on that tv.yahoo.com shows reruns for the next two weeks. I don't know what the others are basing on to say the airdate is May 6. Cromulent Kwyjibo 23:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

there is only 4 new eps left in the season starting from april 29th to may 20th. This can be confirmed at thefutoncritic and the official family guy blog. Grande13

[edit] The Giant Chicken

Another article about Peter says that his arch-nemesis the Chicken Man will reappear in this episode. How is this known?

The Giant Chicken fight is retarded —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.238.67.71 (talk) 13:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

It's not. We just have to be patient and wait for the episode to air. Cromulent Kwyjibo 21:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I've commented out the speculation from the Peter Griffin article. If the giant chicken does appear in this episode, we can just remove the comment tags. If he doesn't, we just delete the line.

However, didn't Seth Macfarlane say on the commentary track for "Blind Ambition" something to the effect that the giant chicknen is such a special character they weren't going to be using him in every single episode, but spaced seasons apart? ShutterBugTrekker 17:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

My apologies. According to tv.yahoo.com, "the chicken returns to pick a fight with Peter." Cromulent Kwyjibo 22:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

He's in it. I just saw the fight on TV. ~Entegy 01:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

That was nice. My only criticism, and I'm not I'm right about this, is that I thought female chickens (hens) didn't have those red things below the beak like male chickens (roosters) so the giant chicken's wife shouldn't have them. But I'm no farmer, so I don't know if I'm right about this. Cromulent Kwyjibo 20:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Is he called the Yellow Chicken or the Giant Chicken? Ive heard both.

It doesn't make sense to do a reference about the spacing between episodes is something planned. Anybody could write/suggest his own theory about this and still be as valid as mentioned in the entry.

[edit] Josh Radnor and Neil Patrick Harris

Did they provide their own voices? I just saw the ep again and it sounded a lot like them. I didn't see then end credits tho, because my DVR didn't record them. So was it? If it was it should be noted.

[edit] More censorship

On Adult Swim the books were (ridiculously) from 1896, and had a chapter about 'negroes: america's dancin'est rapefolk' whereas on FOX I do believe that joke was replaced by a much more offensive line (and a change in date to 1950) approximately 'Israel: the brand-new country everyone's gonna love' used sarcastically and thus anti-zionist.. er.. yeah.

[edit] Cultural References

What the f**k. Where are the cultural references?! --BrianGriffin-FG 16:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Just ignore the vadalizm and keep readding them.

Peter saying in the restaurant that it was the best piece of Halibut he's ever had is surely a Life of Brian reference?? VonBlade 22:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adult Swim cleanup

I did the best I could without having seen the AS version. Can somebody finish the cleanup? Specifically, when Peter text-messages Chris, the pronoun "he" is unclear. Also, is "American's Dancin'est Rapefolk" correct, or should that be "America's"? --Bigscarymike 21:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

"America's" according to the closed captioning. Captain Infinity 22:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snake + Plane <> Snakes on a Plane

Please note, Raiders of the Lost Ark features a snake onboard a biplane. I maintain this is not a Snakes on a Plane reference. --Bigscarymike 22:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct. Captain Infinity 22:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

This needs changed. Obviously this is a reference to the opening scene of Raiders, especially since the two-seater biplane is an exact replica of the plane Indy escapes in. This is further reinforced by the fact that the end of the previous fight with the chicken ends with an homage to the flying wing scene in Raiders. I'm changing it - if anyone can think of a way to incorporate anything else, feel free.

[edit] Subtitles

Shouldn't we mention that, on the FOX version, the subtiles is "screw" insted on "nail" when Quagmire says "this broad I'm trying to nail".--BrianGriffin-FG 16:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CGI Puppet Scene

It's clearly not CGI, so I changed "CGI" to "live action".Tuwile 19:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kingstewie.jpg

Image:Kingstewie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] tuba/sousaphone melody that Stewie plays

This article says it's from "The Air Is Getting Slippery", but I don't think it originated there. There's a similar-sounding theme when you go down the tubes in Super Mario Land for Game Boy. 71.161.147.249 (talk) 23:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
