"Screwed the Pooch" is the 41st episode of Family Guy. The episode first aired on November 29, 2001 in the United States, and follows the Griffins on their visit to the house of Lois' parents', the Pewterschmidts. During the visit, Brian has sex with the Pewterschmidts' dog Seabreeze and when she becomes pregnant, Carter Pewterschmidt refuses to allow Brian to see her again. Brian then decides to sue Carter for custody of the puppies.Bob Barker, formerly the host of The Price is Right, has a cameo in the episode as himself.
The episode was written by Dave Collard and Ken Goin, and was directed by Pete Michels. The title is a reference to the eponymous idiom.
The Griffin family plans to visit Lois' wealthy parents, much to Peter's chagrin, as his father-in-law Carter Pewterschmidt intensely dislikes him. Meanwhile, Brian's sex drive seems unusually strong lately, causing him to feel stressed out, especially after sniffing the rear-end of an attractive female dog at a local park. Peter and Lois are oblivious to Brian's state until they walk in on him masturbating in the bathroom. Lois insists it is perfectly natural, and suggests Brian take time off and accompany the family on their road trip. Though he initially declines, Brian joins the Griffins after he learns that if he stays home, a show entitled "World's Sluttiest Dogs" will play.
After arriving, Brian is introduced to Carter's female greyhound, Seabreeze, who Brian finds attractive. Peter joins an annoyed Carter in a poker match, and helps him win CNN from Ted Turner, thus earning the respect of his father-in-law (though reluctantly, after Lois threatened to show Babs his son after he had an affair with a black woman). Later, Carter and Peter, along with Carter's other poker buddies, Michael Eisner and Bill Gates, go out smashing mailboxes to have some "extra fun." At a fun evening's end, Carter proudly tells his wealthy friends Peter is "...my son-in-law" and confesses he is glad Peter married Lois.
