Last week’s episode of Family Guy revealed that there was a second toy company near fictional Quahog, Rhode Island, which opened several questions. Firstly, why couldn’t Peter Griffin find a job there after Happy Go Lucky Toys closed down? He was briefly the C.E.O. of Happy Go Lucky Toys (although he accidentally killed his employer). The fact he was involved in Mr.Weed’s death opens another line of thought. Peter’s accidentally killed two recurring characters on the show: Mr.Weeds and Cleveland’s first wife, Loretta. By comparison, Stewie’s only killed the Vaudeville pair (in his defence the piano player was a child molester), and Diana Simmons. Everyone else he killed either came back in a later episode or was never a recurring character. In the one episode, Diana Simmons killed Brian’s ex-girlfriend’s husband and the Jewish guy’s wife (James Woods came back to life and his girlfriend wasn’t a recurring character). The difference between those two and Peter is that everyone knows Peter’s responsible.
Speaking of James Woods, James Woods once alerted authorities about four suspicious people on a flight, who later turned out to be four of the 9/11 hijackers on a dry-run. Seth McFarlane was later supposed to be on one of the 9/11 flights, but missed it. Meaning: James Woods nearly saved Seth McFarlane’s life, and both narrowly avoided being killed by terrorists, and they’re now occasional co-collaborators.
