Joe gets new legs and starts walking again

When Joe feels that his disability is holding Bonnie back from living a full life, he decides to get a leg transplant. Excited about his new ability to walk, Joe engages in extreme sports, and soon ditches his current friends, for more active ones. Peter and the guys are upset at how Joe is acting and decide to teach him a lesson. This is definitely the best episode for the sixth season, which is too short due to that writers' strike nonsense...it would has been longer if Love Blacktually (that episode was suppose to air on March 2008) and I Dream of Jesus were part of this season. Anyways, this episode was enjoyable...despite that Joe became a jerk when he ditches his friends to some active ones. I laughed at the girls at the clam, Peter using part of the house for their new hangout (and Stewie is shown saying he doesn't the change), Herbert's cameo (it was decent...way better than his majority season 5 appearances), the girls then eventually went to the guys' hangout, cutaway with Stewie hanging with that guy with the Phesh shirt, cutaway of Chris in Joe's wheelchair and landed on Mayor West's garden, the parts with the guys at playing sports, then they sing some song, Stewie popped out of nowhere, Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire fighting against Joe to get his old self back, but then Bonnie shot him instead, and the last part.. Overall score 10/10moreless

what i liked- the Jack Black movie reference, the ending of the episode, peter punching hitler (See, we had a plan for that all along), the Dr. Hartman and Carter interacting scene where they notice how similar their voices sound, bonnie missing joe's spine with the gun, amongst other things.

for pretty much everything i liked, there was one i did not. i did not like the frog cutaway. i did not like Muriel being called "Anne Frank". i did not like how much of a jerk Joe became. So basically it was merely average for me, save for a few moments. C+/B- or so sounds good.moreless

Joe decides to get leg transplants after he feels like he is holding back on Bonnie

I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Family Guy". It was awesome to see Joe being able to walk after he got a leg transplant when he felt like he was holding back on Bonnie because of Joe being handicapped. The beginning of the episode was very funny when Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland didn't want the wives at "The Drunken Clam" because it ruins their time of being away from the wives. It was funny when they decided to make an all men's club. It was hilarious when Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble were the all-men's club. The joke about Dr. Hartman and Carter having the same exact voice was hilarious. Mayor West's cameo appearance was absolutely hilarious. It was funny when Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland are doing everything that Joe always wanted to do since Joe can walk now. Joe is leaving Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland for his new fit friends and he is leaving Bonnie. Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland decided that they need to make Joe handicapped again but Joe beat all of them but Bonnie shoots Joe making him handicapped again. Bonnie being a horrible shooter was hilarious. The ending was funny as well. Overall, an excellent episode of "Family Guy". 10/10moreless
