Tales of a Third Grade Nothing was a let down. It wasn't really that funny.
Peter wants a promotion as an executive at the Pawtucket brewery. His boss, Angela is impressed by his improvement at work and recommends an open executive spot for him. But, it i revealed that he never finished the third grade. The only way he can get the promotion is to school and pass the third grade. Meanwhile, Frank Sinatra Jr. comes back to town to perform with Brian at the Quahog Cabana Club. They buy the establishment and let Stewie transform it into a modern dance club called pLace. This wasn't really a good episode. It could have been way better than that. Season 7 has been terrible so far. This episode was pretty disappointing. 6/10
