"Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington" is the third episode of the third season of the animated comedy series Family Guy, even though it was produced for season 2. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on July 25, 2001. The episode features Peter after his employer, the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory, is taken over by new management, a power hungry cigarette company, who uses the toys to instill smoking habits in children. Peter is immediately hired by the company to reach out to political leaders in Washington, D.C., but soon realizes the deadly effects of the habit.
The episode was written by Ricky Blitt and directed by Brian Hogan. The episode featured guest performances by Carlos Alazraqui, Gary Cole, Louise DuArt, Olivia Hack, Meredith Scott Lynn, Alyssa Milano, Brian Doyle-Murray and Jack Sheldon, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series.
Peter skips work to attend a Boston Red Sox baseball game. When he is at the game, he encounters his boss Mr. Weed who calls him a liar for missing work. Later, Mr. Weed tells Peter that the El Dorado Cigarette Company is taking over the toy factory, but Peter's job will be retained. Peter shows his family the new toys being made by the company, but Lois and Brian see them as encouraging children to smoke. Peter takes their advice and takes the issue to his new bosses. They deny that they want children to smoke, and appoint Peter as President of the company.
