Family Guy: Blue Harvest kicked off the sixth season of the animated sitcom. The episode, the first hour long broadcast in the show's history, featured a nearly episode long spoof of Star Wars with each of the show's characters portraying one of the famous heroes or villains from George Lucas' revered science fiction film. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Peter thinks he's suddenly become brilliant after winning a game of "Trivial Pursuit", little realizing that Lois had merely let him win. To let Peter down easy, Brian the dog arranges for his master to get an IQ test. As a result, Peter is classified as "retarded"--and he intends to take full advantage of the fact that the world gives a special pass to Special People. In the same spirit of taste and delicacy, this episode offers a musical performance by a singing tumor, and a knee-slapping reference to the bombing of Hiroshima. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This episode is a hilariously ham-handed slam at the FCC restrictions placed on network television after Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" (which is herein recreated--but not by Jackson!) Fed up at having his favorite TV shows censored, Peter sets up his own network, "PTV", using the Griffins' basement as his studio. Although the programs cooked up by Peter and Brian manage to escape unscatched, the family soon finds the FCC slapping regulations on their everyday activities! The opening scene of this episode might very well have set a record for the number of pop-culture references within a 60-second period. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
