Ey there does any one know the name of the song in the start of the episode? when Lois comes walking by the pool and takes a dive, Really cool song so would like to get the name of that one! Thx a lot if you guys can help me;) And yea its one of the best Episodes of Family guy. Wish there was more like this one:D. And is there maybe a list somewhere of all the songs that have been inn Family guy? That would be really nice, not like a sound track CD but just a list, of the best ones or something. Gota love in this episode tho when Brian says that he will eat Lois crap:D messed up dog:D, but Stewie is the one that says the most funny stuff
Seth, this was a great episode. Keep using your talents and doing what you are doing! You are obviously showing your viewers what they want to see. I TIVOed this episode and saved it for my husband to see who (of course) loved it. Seth McFarland pushes the limits of T.V. and makes everyone bust out laughing unexpectedly. I loved the Ms. Pac-Man, Beverly Hills Cop, and the chalkboard part of this episode. Frankly, I loved ALL of it. I don't consider this episode as a "rip-off" of some of the 80's movies. You are making a parody of the 80's movies. Not only that; you go one step further to make it HILARIOUS! If you are a child of the 80's, YOU WILL LOVE THIS EPISODE! Keep up the great work!
For the third season in a row, I find myself thinking that perhaps I shouldn't have started trying to review individual seasons of "Family Guy". These are the 81st to 99th episodes of "Family Guy" and given that the show pretty much had its formula down from episode one, they're well into it now. It's tough to differentiate between the seasons now, so all I can say with any real confidence is that this was more.
The Griffin's move to Texas when Stewie (Seth MacFarlane) managed to convince Quahog that he's possessed by Satan. Back in Quahog, Quagmire (Seth MacFarlane) is forced to move in with the Griffin's when Peter (Seth MacFarlane) costs him his job as a commercial pilot. Brian (Seth MacFarlane) accidently sells Rupert, Stewie's teddy bear and the pair travel to Aspen together to retrieve him. Peter learns that his biological father is actually an Irishman Mickey McFinnigan (Seth MacFarlane"
This season introduces the character of Jilian, a particularly stupid girlfriend of Brian's voiced by Drew Barrymore. There are a few episodes of this season the plot of which I remembered from the first time I watched them. "Barely Legal" when Brian and Meg kiss and she becomes obsessed, "Peter's Two Dads" with the memorable song from the end of the episode, and, as always, the "Road to" episode is a particular highlight.
I will say that there are an unfortunate amount of rape jokes in this season. We're probably around the nadir of "edgelord" comedy in 2006 and these are the ones that perhaps feel the most dated. That and having Marilyn Manson as a character - though not voiced by himself.
I still chuckle at most episodes and will certainly carry on into season six, though it's still perhaps a little distressing that I'm not even a quarter of the way into the number of completed episodes.

While I cannot truly claim that this series is either my favorite animated(or any show)or even high quality(that still probably belongs to either "The Simpsons" or "South Park"),I been finding myself greatly enjoying many of these shows on reruns either on the local FOX channel,TBS or on Adult Swim. This one is particularly good.
Peter gets his wish(granted by the Grim Reaper,of course!)to go back in time to 1984 to get to spend one night of swinging bachelor activity instead of what he actually did,which was go steady with Lois on the way to marrying her and becoming,well...the Family guy. Doing so changes the future grossly and now,flanked by trusty friend,sidekick(and truly the one voice of reason in this family)Brian,Peter must change over the events of the altered past to bring back the present he is meant to be in. Plenty of the stock fast gags and side-references(though somewhat lighter on the latter than usual)and a nearly plot-point by plot-point following of the movie Back to the Future makes this ep particularly special to me.
So far this,along with the Blue Harvest episode and the two-part Stewie-kills-Lois/Lois-kills-Stewie eps would have to be my faves of the fair amount of shows I've caught. This show may not but in sum great,but it has more than its share of brilliant moments. This is one of them.

I've seen this episode about 4 times and it still makes me laugh out loud more than any other episode of this outrageous (and at times genius) show.
Now I'm too young to have been around for much of the 80s, but there are some great references to the pop culture of the decade, from Caddyshack, to a jab at Eddie Murphy's stand-up, to Michael Jackson, Molly Ringwald, Rick Asley (sorry for the spelling), and -- my favorite -- Back to the Future.
So if you like the character Death (who doesn't?), classic pop-culture parodies, a few fart jokes, and Quagmire, then you'll love this episode.

Did you know
- TriviaDuring the dinner with Quagmire in the alternate present time line, Lois references Mad TV. Alex Borstein, who voices Lois, was a regular on Mad TV for years.
- GoofsIn season 3 episode 6 "Death Lives", Peter meets Quagmire for the first time on a navy vessel. In this episode, however, when Peter goes back in time to when he is 18, Quagmire and him are at the same country club ball. Furthermore, in season 7 episode 10 "Fox-y Lady", Quagmire's drivers license says he is 61 years old, meaning him, Peter, and Lois would never have been the same age at the country club ball at the same time.
- Quotes
Lois Griffin: [while dancing] Something just poked me!
Glen Quagmire: It's ok. It's just my penis.
- Crazy creditsAn eighties synth-pop instrumental version of the opening theme song plays over the end credits.
- Alternate versionsSyndication cuts out Peter's second trip to St. Elmo's Clam, in which he is dancing and humming along to the Beverly Hills Cop Axel F. theme.
