List of episodes

"Long John Peter" is the twelfth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series Family Guy, and the 110th episode overall. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 4, 2008. Written by Wellesley Wild and directed by Dominic Polcino, "Long John Peter" served as the final episode of the season, which was cut short in early May 2008 due to creator Seth MacFarlane's participation in the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.

In the episode, Peter steals a parrot from the vet and becomes convinced that he is a pirate. He becomes the scourge of the neighborhood, terrorizing every corner of Quahog until he accidentally kills his beloved bird. Meanwhile, Chris falls in love with the lovely vet intern Anna and turns to Peter for some advice.

"Long John Peter" was watched by 7.68 million viewers in its original broadcast, according to the Nielsen ratings. Actress Amanda Bynes guest-starred as Anna, and Bryan Cranston and Mae Whitman made minor appearances in the episode. "Long John Peter" received generally positive reviews from critics, and was praised for its action sequence featuring Peter and a British man having a pirate fight on their cars.
