Family Guy - 01x02 I Never Met the Dead Man

Summary: Meg is now 16 and Peter must reluctantly give up TV-time to teach her to drive. His teaching skills aren't exactly brushed up, and Meg unsurprisingly fails her test. On the way home Peter is too distracted by the TV in other people's windows that he crashes the car into the local cable satellite. When angry cable-less locals confront him about it, he blames the whole thing on Meg (promising her a convertible if she keeps quiet). Meg is now the outcast of the town, and a TV-less Peter now decides to spend more time with his family; which isn't as great for them as they had thought. Meanwhile, Stewie refuses to eat broccoli and plans to turn the broken cable satellite into a weather control device in order to wipe it all out.
