"Family Guy Viewer Mail #1" is the 21st episode of the third season of Family Guy, first aired on February 14, 2002. The episode consists of three segments, each said by Brian and Stewie to have been suggested by a viewer. This was the final episode to air before the series was cancelled by Fox, though Adult Swim burned off the episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" in 2003. Ten years later, a sequel of this episode was made in the tenth season.
Brian and Stewie introduce the show, consisting of three short stories in response to requests they have received from viewers.
Peter finds a genie in his beer who offers him three wishes. His first wish is to see what Kelly Ripa is like off-camera; she is actually a heart-eating alien. His second wish is for his own theme music, which plays everywhere he goes and whatever he does. On a city bus, a brawny man (Bill Goldberg) grows irritated with Peter's bus-riding theme music and threatens to break every bone in his body. Peter quickly wishes that he was boneless and collapses into a fleshy heap of jelly, scaring everyone on the bus. He effectively becomes more of a burden on his family in his boneless state and feels guilty about it, so he lets himself get sucked down the bathtub drain and ends up in Hollywood. Peter finds work as a stuntman's human airbag and gets the chance to meet famous actors. But he misses his family, and when a doctor offers him an experimental surgery to implant bones into his body, he takes the chance. The operation is successful, but he is horribly misshapen; he learns that most of the parts came from each of his family members (Stewie explains that they picked up a drifter to fill in Peter's torso). They all amble away together, and as they are leaving the hospital, Peter says that he is surprised that it was covered by his HMO.
