season's production run, the episode was intended to air in 2000, but
Fox executives were concerned about its content, believing it could be
interpreted as anti-Semitic, and did not allow it to air on
television. Due to popular demand, it was instead first aired on Adult
Swim in 2003. This episode features guest performances from Andrea
Beutener, Mark Hamill, Phil LaMarr, Ed McMahon, Peter Riegert, Mary
Scheer, Ben Stein, and Nicole Sullivan.Peter gives Lois's "rainy-day

Peter takes it as a sign. After a foot chase, Peter pressures Max into

become smart and successful if he converted to Judaism. The two
