This episode features three short segments based on viewer suggestions. In "No Bones About It," a genie comes out of Peter's (voice of Seth MacFarlane) beer bottle and grants him three wishes. His first wish is to see what Kelly Ripa (who does her own voice) is like off the set. He wishes that he had his own theme music. This wish leads to trouble. While Peter enjoys the "traveling music" that plays as he rides the bus, another passenger takes offense, and threatens to "break every bone" in his body. So Peter makes his third wish -- "I wish I had no bones." The Griffin family is so unhappy with Peter's transformation into an amorphous blob that he tries to kill himself by letting himself down the drain. In "Super Griffins," the family is exposed to toxic waste and develops strange abilities. Stewie (MacFarlane) has telekinetic powers, Chris (voice of Seth Green) can conjure fire, Brian (MacFarlane) has super speed, Lois (voice of Alex Borstein) has super strength, Peter can shape shift, and hapless Meg (voice of Mila Kunis) can grow her fingernails really long in an instant. Despite Lois' call to use their powers responsibly, the Griffins soon run afoul of the authorities, and Mayor Adam West (voice of Adam West) exposes himself to toxic waste in order to do battle with them. In "Little Griffins," the characters are all bigheaded children, in some kind of godforsaken amalgam of Muppet Babies and The Little Rascals. Peter and Quagmire (MacFarlane) spend the night in a haunted house to prove to Lois that each is braver than the other. This episode features the voices of professional wrestler Goldberg, Adam Carolla, Michael Winslow, and Regis Philbin. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

The Griffins attend a school basketball game to see Chris (voice of Seth Green) come off the bench...to clean up some sweat. "You really wiped the floor with that towel," Peter (voice of Seth MacFarlane) tells him later. Stewie (MacFarlane) is fascinated watching the cheerleaders pump up the crowd. "I must discover the secret of their mind control powers," he vows. Peter is perturbed when Chris begins talking "street" in the car on the way home. Cleveland (voice of Mike Henry) suggests that "maybe Chris has adopted another culture's mannerisms because he doesn't know enough about his own." So Peter takes Chris to the Museum of Irish Heritage, where they learn that Ireland was a futuristic advanced civilization before the invention of whiskey. But looking at his family's genealogy in the Quahog library, Peter is shocked to discover that one of his ancestors, Nate Griffin, was black and a slave. Peter is determined to honor his heritage, so he sets about trying to learn "how to be black." He embarrasses himself at the Apollo, and in an African-American Studies course. Things take a stranger turn when Peter learns that Lois' (voice of Alex Borstein) ancestors actually owned Nate Griffin. He demands and gets reparations from Lois' father, but his new friends at the Quahog African-American League and Lois are outraged when Peter spends the money turning the living room into his very own Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Stewie, meanwhile, ingratiates himself to the cheerleading squad, determined to learn all their secrets, including the reason for "their obsession with the homosexuals from *NSYNC." ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Booster Gold, a self-loathing deadbeat from the 25th century, travels backward to "our" time in hopes of finding a place for himself in the world -- any world. Linking up with the Justice League, Booster Gold is assigned to "crowd control" during an epic battle between the Leaguers and the sorcerer Mordru. In the course of events, Booster inadvertently finds himself in the thick action -- and the situation doesn't make him feel one teeny tiny bit better about himself. ~ Rovi
