Duffy, Victoria Principal, Jack Perkins, Will Sasso, and Joey Slotnick
along with several recurring voice actors for the series. This is the
first episode that aired to feature Mila Kunis as the voice of Meg
Griffin, following Lacey Chabert's departure from the series.On
December 31, 1999, Quahog prepares for New Year's Day and the new
millennium, and the Griffins have been invited to Joe's millennium
party. At a store, a man wearing a chicken suit asks Peter if he wants
a coupon, but Peter refuses, recalling the time he got a bad coupon
from Ernie the Giant Chicken and started a massive fistfight. The man
then warns Peter that the world will end because of the Y2K problem,
so Peter locks himself and the family in their basement in hazmat
suits, despite Lois' objections. Just after midnight, the Y2K bug
hits. This causes a worldwide nuclear attack, with vehicles crashing
and missiles self-launching, destroying much of the world, and
mutating, injuring, and killing many people. The Griffins remain safe,
though their house has been severely damaged. The next week, Meg
whines about Kevin getting vaporized, and the Griffins discover that
Quagmire and Cleveland have been stitched together and are now called
"Clevemire" (or "Quagland"), and Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons have
cooked and eaten Tricia Takanawa. Starving, Peter immediately eats all
the dehydrated meals, without adding water. Peter recalls that the
snack food Twinkies are the only food that can survive a nuclear
holocaust, so the family prepares to travel to Natick, Massachusetts,
in hopes that the Twinkie factory has survived.While loading the car,
Chris attempts to bring a tree (named "Woody") but Peter refuses and
says no, Lois attempts to reason with him but he walks behind the
house and shoots the plant. After Meg puts mousetraps for a mutated
rat down to protect Joe (Who is somehow melted to his driveway), the
family get underway in their heavily damaged car. Soon they are
stopped by survivors, who were looking for food, but the Griffins do
not have any food so they have to distract them. They continue their
journey only to find that the car has run out of gas. The Griffins now
have to walk to Natick just as they found a new home, where Randy
Newman just sings about everyone he sees. Lois initially insists they
stay there, but they leave because Newman starts annoying her with his
literal song while trying to eat an apple. So they once again continue
their journey after Lois knocks out Newman with her apple.
