"The Boys in the Band" is the first episode of the fifteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 270th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on September 25, 2016, and is written by Chris Regan and directed by Joseph Lee. In the episode, Stewie and Brian form a children's band, which later disbands after an old flame of Stewie's gets in the way. Meanwhile, Chris goes to work for Quagmire.
This episode was dedicated to the memory of Family Guy music editor Doug Lackey.
Brian and Stewie watch an extended director's cut of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, where Willy Wonka tells Charlie Bucket that he must "work" at the factory as Grandpa Joe insists that he does the job in question, since he doesn't want to get back in bed with the other three grandparents, only for Willy to cut him off saying it must be a child. This prompts Lois to turn it to a baby-appropriate show starring the Turtlenecks. Stewie feels as though that the baby songs in the show are lacking in quality. Challenged by Brian, Stewie decides to write a baby song, since he is a baby. Stewie and Brian form a band they call 'Red Shirt, Blue Shirt' and he books a gig at a children's party. While there, they meet Olivia Fuller, who somehow managed to survive her doom. After the song, they are given a positive reception, which Olivia mysteriously surveys. Just as the duo is about to celebrate, Olivia comes up and states that she and Stewie are going on a date, much to Brian's disappointment. Olivia becomes president of Brian and Stewie's fan club, making Brian uncomfortable, but Stewie is laid-back about it. Stewie and Brian perform at a number of gigs. At Cheesie Charlie's, after Brian leaves for a minute, Olivia says in confidence to Stewie that at the end of every gig, everybody gives Brian the attention and not Stewie, and Stewie impulsively believes this.
