Family Guy- Peter Becomes the Television

Peters crashes his car into the Television satellite and there's no TV for a few days. Peter gets bored and becomes the Television.

I like how you can instantly tell it's from the first season.

This is when the show was actually W

[@ZakWolf]

I love how rather than pretend he's on television like they've done with such cardboard screens before (ala "Calvin & Hobbes" and "Rugrats"), Peter pretends that everything he sees is on television, and it's funny!

[@justusP9101]

It's funny how They portrayed Peter as an idiot in the early seasons

[@sekousoumahoro3900]

Yeah now in later seasons, he’s more of an idiot than before, even to the point where he endangers his friends and family. Like shooting Joe in the eye and Quagmire in the arm. He not only abuses Meg, but the rest of his family as well, especially Lois, the woman who he’s supposed to love

[@le9038]

and a retard in the later seasons.

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

​@@sekousoumahoro3900 Exactly. In the early and middle of Family Guy he was just a silly man that didn't mean to cause any harm. Now he has evolved into a total narcissist and abusive psychopath. I used to like Peter when he was just a little "retarded", now he's just pure evil.

[@channingcheese2]

"Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television - you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television." -Andy Warhol

[@TheMpo1986]

Back then Lois was concerned. Now, Lois would just refuse to engage and pound a glass of wine.

[@FriedFrogLegsAnimations]

Family guys so clever

[@barbiquearea]

Its funny how in this episode Peter loses touch with reality by pretending like real life is a show when in another episode he thought he was in the bar in Cheers while watching the show.
