Writer and director credits." --- # No Meals on Wheels Episode 14 of Family Guy season 5 (S05E14), the 94th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mike Henry and directed by Greg Colton. First broadcast on 25 March 2007. ## Story Peter builds an effigy of Adolf Hitler out of his best suit to stop Mort Goldman borrowing his things. At a second hand shop he buys flannel pyjamas, which let him shock the household with static picked up from the carpet. Lois has the carpet taken up, revealing an eighteenth century Rhode Island ship token that the family sells for fifty thousand dollars. Peter and Lois use the money to open a restaurant, Big Pete's House of Munch. Joe fills it with fellow wheelchair users, and Peter, unhappy with the clientele, bans disabled customers. Those shut out combine into a machine called CrippleTron, which wrecks the restaurant and breaks Peter's leg. Left in a wheelchair for two weeks, Peter apologises to Joe. ## Production and reception - Nielsen figures put the first broadcast at 7.97 million homes, with a 2.8 rating among viewers aged 18 to 49.
