List of Family Guy episodes

"The Simpsons Guy" is the first episode of the thirteenth season of the American animated television series Family Guy, and the 232nd overall episode. "The Simpsons Guy" is a 45-minute-long crossover with The Simpsons, and was written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Peter Shin. It originally aired in the United States on September 28, 2014, on Fox, where both The Simpsons and Family Guy have aired since their respective debuts.

In the episode, the Griffins stay with the Simpsons after the former family's car is stolen just outside Springfield. After the Griffins get their car back, Peter is taken to court as a representative of the Pawtucket Patriot brewery, his employer, when it is discovered that its ale is an unauthorized copy of Duff Beer.

The idea for a crossover episode was suggested by Family Guy executive producer and former Simpsons writer Richard Appel, and the episode was announced by Fox in July 2013. Five of the six main members of the voice cast of The Simpsons—the exception being Harry Shearer—voiced their characters in the episode. "The Simpsons Guy" was met with a mixed reception by critics, who had differing opinions on how well the two shows combined.

Peter creates a controversial comic panel for the Quahog newspaper called "For Pete's Sake," which angers local women for its sexist humor. Peter drives the Griffin family out of Quahog to escape the townspeople's ire. When they stop at a gas station, their car is stolen, leaving them stranded outside Springfield. At the Kwik-E-Mart, Homer Simpson introduces himself to the Griffins and takes them to the Springfield Police Department, where they are turned away by Chief Wiggum.
