** Though not the fault of the creators, "Wheel of Family"'s story of Dee Dee and Robert becoming a couple and adopting Hong Kong Phooey had enough mileage to make for at least a season or two of stories. Its bizarre concept (a woman's ex-husband marrying her single mother) probably doesn't exist anywhere else on television, (and if it does, it's most likely very poorly done), which means this arc would have been 100% original. However, the show was canceled just after that episode aired, putting an end to the story as quickly as it started.
*** To add insult to injury, Dee Dee was killed off in the Family Guy episode, "Candy Quahog Marshmallow!" as a passing joke. Because of this, the potential for this premature story coming to fruition is officially dead.

The initial edit for this had, for one, unnecessary profanity, and was representative of an unfortunate trend on TV Tropes in which editors assume all users and/or smart people hate Seth Mac Farlane and as if his shows are objectively bad rather than subjectively bad.
