Featured reviews
Stewie and Brian together is sheer genius writing, and would go on to become a staple relationship in the show. Oh, and the ROAD TO X episodes would also become a mainstay. So many firsts in this episode -- if I remember correctly, this is also the first episode with a real full-fledged adventure.
Just a phenomenal piece of television from all angles, really. Great episode to start with.
This episode was an experiment by Seth to see if the unlikely combination of Stewie and Brian would work. Needless to say it as a hit and lead to many more "road to..." episodes.
The intro is amazing, so is the musical number at the end of the episode. Seth MacFarlane has a really great voice.
Brian and Stewie's characters have good chemistry, and I personally like them more than Peter. So far, this is the best episode of season 2, and better than any season 1 episode.
Stewie and Brian have to fly back to Rhode Island, but their tickets and possessions are stolen. We also find out Brian's backstory.
10/10.

- Quotes
[Brian and Stewie are catching a ride with Hispanic workers in Texas]
Brian Griffin: Hola! Um... me, me llamo es Brian. Ahh, uh, um... Let's see, uh, nosotros queremos ir con ustedes.
Migrant Worker: Hey, that was pretty good, except when you said, "Me llamo es Brian," you don't need the "es", just "me llamo Brian".
Brian Griffin: Oh! So you speak English!
Migrant Worker: No, just that first speech and this one explaining it.
Brian Griffin: You... you're kidding, right?
Migrant Worker: Que?
- Alternate versionsThe season two DVD sets have removed the scene where Stewie sneaks in weapons by airport security only to find Osama Bin Laden beat him to it. This scene was also removed in syndication due to the events after 9/11. However the scene is still intact on the "Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection".
