Writer and director credits." --- # Peter's Got Woods Episode 11 of Family Guy season 4 (S04E11), the 61st Family Guy episode overall. Written by Danny Smith and directed by Chuck Klein and Zac Moncrief. First broadcast on 11 September 2005. ## Story Lois asks Peter to attend a parents' meeting at Meg's school, and he sends Brian instead. There Brian falls for Shauna Parks, a black teacher, and to impress her proposes renaming James Woods Regional High School after Martin Luther King Jr. Peter, a fan of the actor, brings James Woods himself to the board meeting. Woods accepts the change, and the board is so taken with his modesty that it keeps the name. Brian and Peter fall out, and Peter makes Woods his new best friend. Shauna makes Brian choose between her and Peter, and he picks Peter. Woods takes Brian's place in the household, sleeping on Peter and Lois's bed. Peter and Brian tire of the separation and make up, but Woods has become obsessive. They lure him along a trail of Reese's Pieces into a crate, which is locked and sent to a storage warehouse. ## Production and reception - Danny Smith wrote the episode and Peter Shin, Chuck Klein and Zac Moncrief directed; it was moved forward a week from 18 September 2005 when Fox held back "Perfect Castaway" after Hurricane Katrina.
