Writer and director credits." --- # Amish Guy Episode 7 of Family Guy season 10 (S10E07), the 172nd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mark Hentemann and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 27 November 2011. ## Story Peter is turned away from a roller coaster at Six Flags for being too heavy. A diet fails, so he resorts to a girdle, and the family drive to Ohio for a new ride, which stalls on the first hill under his weight. On the way home the car breaks down in Amish country and the family stay in a village for the weekend. A local boy, Eli, shows Meg around and the two kiss, but his strict father Ezekiel forbids any further contact. Peter turns the community against himself by playing rock music at Ezekiel, and the Griffins are sent home. The Amish follow and daub the house, and Peter declares war. Eli halts the fight to say he loves Meg, then stays behind, and the two fathers agree a truce. ## Production and reception - John Holmquist, a director on the series since season two, handled the episode, and showrunner Mark Hentemann wrote it, his second script of the season after "Back to the Pilot".
