We've reached a very important moment in Simpsons history: The premiere of Family Guy. The controversial series has been airing next to The Simpsons on-and-off for the last 20 years starting on Super Bowl Sunday in 1999. And so we take a little pause on our chronological breakdown to explore the creation of Family Guy, how the first episode debuted in such a major spot, and how the pilot episode looks with the eyes of 2019. Listen now with a Pawtucket Patriot Ale!

Special Family Guy retro cover is by 8-Bit Universe!

This mash-up of baseball and musicals is cause for the return of Will Sloan, the cohost of podcasts The Important Cinema Club and Michael And Us!

Listen now for the lesson that kids never learn!
