Brian Does Hollywood

Episode 2 of Family Guy season 3 (S03E02), the 30th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Gary Janetti and directed by Gavin Dell. First broadcast on 18 July 2001.

Story

After rehab, Brian moves to Los Angeles to live with his cousin Jasper and unintentionally ends up directing films. The Griffins visit to support his new career. The films turn out to be pornographic, and Brian tries to hide that from his visitors. Meanwhile Stewie tries out for Kids Say the Darndest Things, planning to hypnotise the audience, but host Bill Cosby picks up his device and ruins the scheme without knowing it. The Woody Awards for adult films then shortlist Brian for Best Director. Jasper tells the family the truth and they attend the ceremony, to Brian's relief. He then returns to Quahog with them.
