Writer and director credits." --- # The Juice Is Loose Episode 9 of Family Guy season 7 (S07E09), the 119th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Andrew Goldberg and directed by Cyndi Tang. First broadcast on 15 March 2009. ## Story A title card presents the story as a lost episode from March 2007. Lois goes to her book club and leaves Peter to mind Stewie, but he invites Cleveland, Quagmire and Joe round instead. Stewie gets stuck on the roof trying to fix the satellite dish while Peter ignores Brian's warnings. Fixing the dish himself, Peter finds a raffle ticket from 1989 that wins him a round of golf with a celebrity of his choice, and he picks O. J. Simpson. Learning of the murder accusations, Peter wears a wire to the game hoping for a confession, but it shorts out. Feeling guilty, Peter decides Simpson is innocent and brings him home, where the family are wary. Word spreads and a mob led by Mayor Adam West comes to drive Simpson out. Simpson makes a speech about his imperfections and the crowd relents, then he stabs three people and flees. ## Production and reception - Andrew Goldberg wrote the episode after submitting a three-page list of ideas to Seth MacFarlane, and Cyndi Tang directed it. ([Wikipedia: The Juice Is Loose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Juice_Is_Loose)) - A lost episode title card was added because O. J. Simpson had been sent to jail before the episode aired. ([Wikipedia: The Juice Is Loose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Juice_Is_Loose)) - A three-minute archive clip of Conway Twitty performing "I See the Want To in Your Eyes" appears in the episode, and executive producer Chris Sheridan justified its inclusion to Fox executives. ([Wikipedia: The Juice Is Loose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Juice_Is_Loose)) - Mike Henry voiced Simpson, while Cathy Cahlin Ryan appeared in a cutaway as the wife of Fred Goldman. ([Wikipedia: The Juice Is Loose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Juice_Is_Loose)) - It was watched by 7.21 million households; Ahsan Haque of IGN rated it 5.5 out of 10 and Steve Heisler of The A.V. Club gave it a C+, both criticising the Twitty clip.
