Karenheit 451

Episode 17 of Family Guy season 23 (S23E17), the 443rd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Evan Waite and directed by Mike Kim. First broadcast on 10 July 2025.

Story

Reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Stewie, Brian finds the text rewritten to be more progressive, and Lois admits her campaign group did it. His protest brings a Fox News interview that turns his words around, and the attention makes a bestseller of his old novel. Meanwhile Peter and his friends marry each other on two drunken nights and give up alcohol. Sober, they find they have nothing else in common and split up. Lois stages an intervention to get Peter drinking again. At a reading, both sides of the argument agree that Brian's book is badly written and ban it.
