# Disney's The Reboot

Episode 4 of Family Guy season 18 (S18E04), the 333rd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Kirker Butler and directed by Greg Colton. First broadcast on 20 October 2019.

## Story

The Griffins sit in on a focus group testing possible reboots of the programme. Lois! puts Lois at the front of the show, and its pilot has her competing for a promotion at the brewery. The Q turns the series into a teenage supernatural drama in which Chris, Ruth, Patty and Neil work out who killed Meg. Family Guy Again gathers the least popular characters, with Chris, Joe and Tricia Takanawa in the lead. Peter then arrives with further pitches, among them a Netflix version and a take on BoJack Horseman. Fox settles on leaving Family Guy as it is.
