Storyline
The Griffins visit a 50s-style diner, where the wait staff dress as celebrities from that decade. Peter hears his favorite song, "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen, on the jukebox and begins dancing and acting stupid. When one of the employees removes the record from the jukebox - the song came out in late 1963, nearly four years after the end of the 1950s decade - Peter buys the record, takes it home and plays it endlessly. He winds up driving everyone crazy with his obsessive fixation on the song; Chris is driven to the brink, while Lois is appalled when she gets a call from the bank stating that Peter had withdrawn most of their savings account (to produce an insipid public service announcement built around "Surfin' Bird"). Eventually, Brian and Stewie decide they need to take action and, in the middle of the night, team up to steal the record. The next morning, Peter realizes the record is missing and sets out to buy another copy, only to find that "a dog and a baby" have already ... Written by Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>

Dear oh dear. This is the episode that convinced me that it's time for Family Guy to be taken off air for good, as the writers have clearly run out of ideas. This episode is effectively a two-parter with no connection between the two halves. Part 1 consists of one recurring joke that failed to be funny first time round, let alone when you've heard it for the 16th time in 10 minutes. This tenuously links in to the second half of the episode that, for some reason, sees Jesus working in a second hand record store, before going on to some contrived and utterly obvious social commentary about the "perils of fame".
The lack of any decent plot could be forgiven if there were some decent jokes thrown in to make up for it, but there were none. Even in the worst episodes of Family Guy before this one, there' be a couple of moments that would raise a snigger, but this episode got no reaction from me whatsoever - the biggest failing a comedy programme can have.
Quite frankly, ever since South Park nailed Family Guy in "Cartoon Wars", it's been very difficult to watch it in the same light. The first couple of seasons (say 1-3) are still classic, but it's been on a long downward slope ever since, and it's quite clear that they'll never come close to hitting the heights of "Death is a Bitch" or "Road to Rhode Island/Europe" again. Time to give it up guys!
