Trivia / Family Guy S 4 E 6 Petarded

• Cut Song: On the DVD version, there's a scene after Peter talks to Joe about what it's like to be disabled (even though Joe is physically disabled while Peter is mentally/intellectually disabled) where Joe calls everyone to tell them that Peter is "retarded" (the whole scene is a musical parody of the telephone scene from Bye Bye Birdie). It was edited on FOX because the censors did not like the overuse (read: dozens of times in under two minutes) of the R-word.
• What Could Have Been: The producers wanted to have Timer be played by his original actor Lennie Weinrib. Unfortunately for them, Lennie's health was rapidly deteriorating by 2005 and he didn't remember the voice well anyway. Seth Macfarlane ended up using his best impression for the yellow blob.
