seventh season of the American animated television series Family Guy.
It premiered on Fox in the United States on March 22, 2009. The
episode is centered on housewife Lois Griffin's employment at Fox News
Channel, despite the warnings of anthropomorphic dog Brian. On her
first day on the job, she is assigned to do a report on Michael
Moore's perceived homosexuality, but it is rejected when the exposé
involves conservative Republican Rush Limbaugh. Meanwhile, husband
Peter and son Chris decide to create their own animated sitcom. The
pilot episode is a success with the CEO, but Peter decides not to air
it when it is suggested that it be edited.The episode was written by
Matt Fleckenstein and directed by Pete Michels. It received mixed
reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references.
According to Nielsen ratings, the episode was watched by 7.45 million
viewers in its original airing in the United States. The episode
featured guest performances by Seth Rogen, Meredith Baxter, Peter
Chernin, Fred Savage, Daniel Stern, Ed Helms, Sharon Tay, John
Moschitta, Jr. and Mark DeCarlo. "Fox-y Lady", along with the six
remaining episodes from Family Guy's seventh season and the first
eight episodes from the eighth season, was released on a three-disc
DVD set in the United States on June 15, 2010.Rhonda Latimer, an aging
reporter for Fox News Channel who is idolized by viewers because of
her good looks, is dismissed when the network's first high-definition
broadcast exposes her wrinkles, leaving a job opportunity open. Lois
auditions for the part, ignoring Brian's warnings about Fox News'
conservative bias, and she is chosen as the new reporter. On her first
day reporting, she is assigned to do an exposé on Michael Moore to
prove that he is a homosexual. When she spies on him outside his
house, she sees Rush Limbaugh coming out, leading her to conclude that
Limbaugh and Moore are in a gay relationship. However, Fox News
refuses to allow any material against fellow conservative Limbaugh to
be broadcast, leading Lois to realize that Brian was right about them.
The two decide to take the story into their own hands and confront who
they expect to be Moore and a naked Limbaugh in the same bedroom, only
to discover that the both of them are portrayed by Fred Savage, who
has created bodysuits of them in order to continue his acting career.
A flabbergasted Lois ultimately decides to report his story
instead.Meanwhile, Peter, with help from Chris and Meg, decides to
create an animated series about a trio of handicapped ducks entitled
Handi-Quacks due to Lois' newfound connections with Fox. Meg's
reasonable, albeit banal, suggestions are ignored by Peter in favor of
Chris' outlandish ideas, and Peter eventually fires her. He and Chris
settle on developing the show's pilot episode around a joke involving
a wood stove and a house of cards, and invite Cleveland, Quagmire and
Joe to voice the characters. Although it is suggested that the
crudely-animated and written pilot will likely fail, CEO Peter Chernin
enjoys it and agrees to produce the show, but Peter is insulted when
he suggests that the character Poopyface Tomato Nose's nose be a plum
instead of a tomato. Peter's passion for Handi-Quacks impresses
Chernin, who allows him to retain complete creative control over its
production, but a still-aggrieved Peter rebuffs the deal entirely,
which he quickly regrets. Fox-y Lady Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
