Meet the Quagmires is the 18th and final episode of the fifth season
of the animated comedy series Family Guy. It originally aired on Fox
on May 20, 2007. The episode features Peter after he goes back in
time, in order to live the single life a little longer, before he
meets future wife Lois. This causes Quagmire to make his own move on
Lois, and they ultimately end up marrying and having children; Peter
is horrified by this "alternate timeline" and resolves to go back in
time again and set things right.The episode was written by Mark
Hentemann and directed by Dan Povenmire and Chris Robertson. It
received mostly positive reviews from critics for its storyline and
many cultural references. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed
in 9.1 million homes in its original airing. The episode featured
guest performances by Luke Adams, Jeff Bergman, Adam Carolla, Beth
Littleford and Will Sasso, along with several recurring guest voice
actors for the series.After hearing Quagmire brag about his sexual
exploits, Peter feels that he has missed out on enjoying the single
lifestyle. Death is summoned to The Drunken Clam on a false alarm
(thinking that Horace had died), and decides to grant Peter's wish by
sending him, along with Brian, back to 1984 for one night. He notices
his friend Cleveland, in his '80s look, who high-fives him around the
pool. He then sees 18-year-old Lois Pewterschmidt walking around the
country club pool, taking her high-heeled shoes off and jumping off
the diving board into the pool with "Mr. Night" playing in the
background, a reference to Caddyshack. Appearing to others as his
18-year-old self, Peter cancels his scheduled movie date to see
Zapped! with Lois, instead accepting an invitation from Cleveland to
go and party at a bar. Peter enjoys the evening, and ends up making
out with actress Molly Ringwald before Death appears to return him to
the present.Back in the present day, Peter discovers that his past
actions have had drastic effects on the world: he and Molly have been
married for 20 years; Judd Nelson crashes at their house once or twice
a week; Lois is married to Quagmire; Al Gore is now the President of
the United States; Chris, Meg, and Stewie have Quagmire's chin, nose,
and mannerisms; and Chevy Chase is the host of The Tonight Show. Brian
explains to Peter that by missing out on his date with Lois and making
out with Molly, he altered the course of history. Brian also believes
that they may have also caused a butterfly effect, as shown with the
additional changes to their timeline. Despite Brian's objections about
leaving his idea of a "perfect" world (in which there are flying cars
that run on vegetable oil and Gore has killed Osama bin Laden by
strangling him with his bare hands), Peter wants to go back to the
past so he can undo his mistake. This seems to be a challenge because
Death can only be summoned if someone dies, and Brian believes Al
Gore's universal health care and zero-tolerance gun control laws have
led to people living much longer. However, when Jane Jetson suddenly
falls on the sidewalk and dies, Death arrives and again grants Peter's
wish to return to the past. Back in the past, Peter is determined to
accept Lois' invitation but repeatedly blows his opportunity and ends
up repeatedly asking Death for a do-over. When Peter finally gets it
right, he forgets a few hours later and parties with Cleveland instead
of keeping the date. He asks Death for another chance but Death, fed
up with Peter's continued blunders, tells him that he will have to fix
the problem on his own. Meet the Quagmires Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
