Season 21, Episode 1: Homer the Whopper
Bart and Milhouse convince Comic Book Guy to publish a comic book he wrote titled Everyman, in which the title character can absorb superpowers from the characters of comic books he touches. The comic becomes an instant hit, and many Hollywood studios become interested in making it into a movie. Comic Book Guy agrees to let Everyman become a movie, but only if he can pick the star. When Comic Book Guy sees Homer, he considers Homer perfect for the role, as he wants Everyman to be played by a middle-aged fat man. But the studio executives realizes that audiences want a physically fit actor for the role, so they hire celebrity fitness trainer Lyle McCarthy to make Homer fit. After a month, Homer becomes fit and the movie begins production.
Soon afterward, however, McCarthy leaves Homer for another client. Without McCarthy to keep him fit, Homer starts eating again and gains all the weight back. Homer can no longer fit into his costume or even his trailer, and the movie begins to go over budget. The studio executives and Comic Book Guy worry that the film will not be successful. The final version of the movie features scenes with the fat Homer and the physically fit Homer merged together, upsetting the audience. After the premier of the film, McCarthy returns and offers to make Homer physically fit again, which Homer accepts. The studio executives offer to let Comic Book Guy direct the sequel, on the condition that Comic Book Guy lie to the fans and say he liked the film. Comic Book Guy rejects the offer and openly criticizes the movie online.
Family Guy
Season 8, Episode 1: Road to the Multiverse
Stewie breeds a winning pedigree pig for Quahog Clam Day, and reveals to Brian that he got the pig from a parallel universe. He shows Brian the remote that allows him access to different parallel universes, each depicting Quahog in the same time and place, but under different conditions. For example, the first one that they went to was a very futuristic version of Quahog because Christianity was never created. They travel to different worlds as a demonstration, but having never traveled to more than one other parallel universe Stewie is unaware of how to return them home.
Brian is set to return until they reach a universe where humans are subservient to dogs, and changes his mind. An argument between the two results in them destroying the remote, trapping them in this universe, so they head on to the universe's Griffin family (who are all dogs) to find a solution. They discover that Dog Stewie has also invented the same remote. But while Dog Stewie was getting the remote, Stewie bites Dog Peter and is sent to the human pound, where he would be euthanized. Brian, Dog Stewie, and Human Brian go to the human pound, free Stewie, and sends him and Brian back to their universe. Human Brian, tired of living a harsh life under dogs, goes with them, but gets hit by a car before he can achieve any of his goals.
The Cleveland Show
Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot
Cleveland tells his friends that he has lost ownership of his house to his ex-wife Loretta and gained custody of their son, Cleveland Jr., and begins to worry about his future. After Peter (once again) destroys the front of Cleveland's house while he's in the tub, Cleveland decides he has finally had enough of everyone around him hogging all the attention and shenanigans, so he moves out of Quahog with Junior to California to pursue his life-long dream of becoming a professional minor league baseball scout.
Along the way, the two decide to stop off at Cleveland's old hometown of Stoolbend, Virginia where Cleveland runs into his old high school crush, Donna, who agrees to let him stay at her house for a few days. There he meets her philanderous five-year-old son Rallo and her irresponsible teenage daughter Roberta, as well as her neighbors: a redneck named Lester, a hipster wannabe named Holt, and an anthropomorphic bear named Tim. He also learns that Donna had divorced her no-good husband Robert, who was her boyfriend during high school, leaving her unable to handle caring for her children properly. Cleveland promises to set her children straight before he continues on his way.
Cleveland threatens Roberta's equally negligent boyfriend Federline Jones into bringing her home on curfew and gets Rallo back in school after he was expelled for looking up his teacher's skirt, and begins to fall in love with Donna all over again. Donna thanks Cleveland for all his work and decides her children need a man back in her family's life; however, instead of choosing Cleveland, she gets back together with Robert.
Dejected, Cleveland leaves for California early with Cleveland Jr., but Junior convinces Cleveland to get back together with Donna. Cleveland returns to profess his love for Donna and helps her see that Robert is still not the man her family needs. Donna realizes Cleveland is right and leaves Robert for him.
Cleveland and Donna later get married, and the two families accept each other into their lives.
American Dad
Season 5, Episode 1: In Country Club
Steve has been chosen to sing the national anthem at the veteran's fair. However, he sings it with little passion, leading Stan to believe that the only way he can truly appreciate the national anthem is by experiencing war. Stan signs them both up for a Vietnam War re-enactment held at a local country club's golf course. Upon enlisting, Steve is immediately put on guard duty but he falls asleep, allowing the Vietnamese to attack their base and capture Stan. Steve goes in on a mission to rescue his father and succeeds. But later, while singing the national anthem at the fair, fireworks are lighted, sending Steve into a "war" flashback. This causes Steve to be committed to a mental hospital. Later, Steve escapes from the hospital as the doctor questions a limbless man named John Q. Mind (voiced by male pornographic actor Randy Spears) on how he opened the curtain. He uses his psychic powers to knock her into the wall as "Mind Quad" goes to commercial. Steve returns to the country club where the re-enactment took place (in a parody of First Blood). He interrupts the golfing, at which a patron tries convincing him to leave, only for Steve to snap again when he sees a spinning sprinkler, thinking of a helicopter and holes up in the golf cart shed. Stan comes in to apologize for pushing him too far and tells him that he can sing the way he wants to. Unfortunately, Steve sings the anthem in an excited mode while wearing a unitard; Stan tells a fellow veteran that he's his neighbor's son.
Meanwhile, Roger wants to gain the code to the Pay-per-view channel to see Barbra Streisand sing the songs of Celine Dion. However, Stan refuses to give it to him (he agreed when he thought it was $4.99, instead it was $499). So Roger joins the Vietnamese side of the reenactment as Stan's warden, interrogating him while he was captured; he tortures Stan by reading the first draft of the Sex and the City film. When Stan gives him a fake code, Hayley soon gives him the real code, in exchange for setting free an Ortolan Bunting, a rare bird, he was planning on cooking and eating. However, he gives her Klaus dressed as the bird. As Roger watches his show, he eats the bird and is so overwhelmed that he experiences the alien equivalent of a DMT trip.
As the credits are rolling, the "Mind Quad" part of the episode returns as a man wearing a black trenchcoat runs into the hospital room. The doctor tells him that John has escaped. The man reveals that John's limbs were not blown off of his body, but into his mind, giving him telekinetic powers. The man vows to catch John as we see John using his mind powers to ride a motorcycle towards the Pentagon.

Angie reveals that their son Danny was the reason they moved to Wisteria Lane. Danny watches out the window as Susan welcomes Julie back.
Six Weeks Before the Wedding
Angie has the housewives over for coffee and she tells them that Danny is about to start college but is surprised to learn that he asked Julie to tutor him in math. While waiting to see the gynecologist, Lynette makes a young mother-to-be cry by warning her about all the negative things that will happen to her after the child is born because she needs to be prepared. Bree is horrified with the motel room so she has Karl take her sheet shopping. Karl believes Bree does not want the affair but she insists she does. Susan's wedding dress arrives but because she is not home, the delivery man has Katherine sign for it. Susan returns home to find that the dress is with Katherine. When she goes to retrieve it, she is surprised to find Katherine wearing it. Susan tells her to take it off, but Katherine taunts her by leaning over a pot of boiling red sauce. Mike is worried about Katherine but Susan is sick of Katherine because she is tired of feeling like the other woman. Gaby discovers that Ana snuck out to go to a new dance club and after bringing her home she signs the papers officially making her Ana's legal guardian, 24/7. As Mrs. McCluskey is walking home she sees Julie arguing with Danny.
One Day Before the Wedding
Orson feels that he and Bree should see the pastor for some counseling, but she wants a divorce. Bree tells Orson that she is no longer his wife, but his captive. Orson feels bad but tells her that sometimes guilt is a small price to pay for happiness. While Lynette is getting a sonogram, Tom is getting more and more excited about the pregnancy. Lynette tells Tom that she loved the other kids the moment she knew they were coming, but it is different this time as she doesn't love these babies. Tom reassures her that once she holds them in arms, she will love them as much as the others.
The Wedding
As Bree is walking to the church, she sees Karl drive up so she gets in his car and tells him to meet her at a hotel and she has already prepared the room the way she wants it. While Susan is getting ready for her wedding, Katherine shows up and blames Susan for never bothering to see how she was doing and apologize. Katherine demands that Susan make a public apology during the ceremony otherwise, she will make an ugly scene that will have everyone talking for years to come. Susan agrees, but then she kicks Katherine into a closet and locks the door. While the ceremony is coming to a close, Katherine manages to break the door down and we return to the point where Mike and Susan run into her in the aisle. Mike threatens to drag Katherine out of the church himself if she doesn't leave. Just as Katherine starts to walk out, Susan grabs a microphone and makes a heart-felt apology. When they hug, Susan asks if that helped her and Katherine whispers that it didn't. Then she storms out, declaring war against Susan. Angie is worried that Danny is still not home so she tells Nick to go look for him. After she unzips her dress, a huge scar is revealed on her lower back. That same night, as Julie takes out the recyclables, a stranger comes up behind her and starts strangling her, then throws her on the ground leaving her for dead.
