Is this the last episode of season six?

'cause if it is, it was a hell of a wrap for the season. But when I looked at the episode guide there was one more episode left,"keep on trucking".

long story short, in this episode peter suffers a stroke after eating over 30 hamburgers at one time. But that's not the only thing that happens. towards the beginning, peter grows a mustache and he is mistaken for a fireman('cause they all have mustaches).and he saves a guy from a fire.

I can safely say I am one of the biggest fans of the show, and I always scrutinize each episode before writing a comment about it. and I haven't found any flaws in this episode(maybe some goofs, but I really don't care for that kinda stuff.)

yes i am a huge fan of the show, but that doesn't mean my comments are biased, frankly i loved this episode. in fact it has to be one of the best ones so far in season six of course next to blue harvest and the two part stewie kills lois episode.

anyways, one of the best of season six. watch the reruns whenever they come on adultswim and fox itself, I loved it.I am sure you will love it too. this episode was totally worth it.
