    Brian becomes a substitute teacher at Chris' school after his teacher wins the lottery. When Brian is moved to teach a class of troubled kids, Chris falls in love with his new teacher, Mrs. Lockhart, who promises to love Chris only if he kills her husband. When Lois finds out, she and Stewie decide to teach Chris a lesson. Some of the reviews here are much negative and I don't get the hate. This was an enjoyable episode for most of the part expect for the ones that were boring. There were parts I laughed like the opening (it featurecrime show parody instead of the theme song), Peter kept throwing stuffs at a man (while saying heads up), Chris' teacher's reaction when she won the lottery (probably the funniest in this episode), Brian at a class with troubled kids (most of the parts), and a few more. As for the cutaway, I has to say that the funniest got to be when Peter was falling off the stairs. Overall, this episode was superb but it isn't as great as the previous one. 9/10moreless

    I only liked the woman's reaction to winning the lottery.

    This episode, Chris gets a new hot sub teacher, and she promises she will love him if he does her one thing: kills her husband. In the end everyone assumes Chris did when it was revealed his subs' husband was dead. Turned out to be a bear. Later, the sub, Mr.s Lockhart, runs away and starts living with the bear and putting up with him.

    A decent episode, at times too wacky, but that's not always a bad thing with comedy. I didn't like everything. My final grade would have to be about a B- or so, decent, but not greatmoreless

    The second new episode of Family Guy and it is virtually laugh-free. It was a mildly clever parody of classic film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but I have seen better. A lot of people liked the cavemen family argument, they liked the Kevin Federline magic mirror, but I just did not like either of them or any of the cutaway scenes for the most part. This is the main problem with Family Guy nowadays and it can be traced back to this episode to show it has been a problem for years now.

    Solid installment, but it has no replay value.moreless

    When Chris's beloved teacher wins the lottery and quits, Lois suggests Brian fill in as a substitute. He enjoys the job but is moved to another class for troubled kids. When he finds the techniques used in his previous class inadequate, he tries "talking their language" but appears racist. After an angry morning, he unintentionally teaches them to aspire to low-level jobs. Brian behaves "street" in an attempt to establish a rapport with his class.Meanwhile, Chris is instantly smitten with his new teacher, Mrs. Lockheart. Lois is not pleased with this. After she and Peter talk to Mrs. Lockheart, she promises to be with Chris if he kills her husband, though he does not do it. When Lois finds the teacher's written instructions in Chris's laundry she runs to Mrs. Lockheart's home and finds the mauled body of her husband. Believing Chris is the killer, Lois and Stewie conspire to cover up the plot by dumping the body in the lake and bluffing a policeman. Back at home, the rest of the family treats Chris differently because they thought he actually killed Mrs. Lockheart's husband, until it is shown on the news that it was really Mrs. Lockheart and a bear. In the last scene Mrs. Lockheart and the bear are found in a motel, with Mrs. Lockheart all dressed up for a nice evening dinner while the bear is lying on the bed watching television. She sits down on the side of the bed while the bear taps her with his left foot and with a satirical but somewhat loving manner says "Love you," and with that the episode concludes.moreless

    • (Opening monologue in Law & Order style) Voiceover: In the television comedy world, the people are entertained by two separate, but equally important types of shows: traditional sitcoms that get laughs out of everyday situations, like trying to fix your own plumbing, or inviting two dates to the same dance, and animated shows that make jokes about farting. This is the latter.

    • Stewie: (to Chris, while leaning out of window with a face mask and hair curlers) Hey, do you have ANY idea what time it is? Get in the house, fatty!

    • Stewie: Can we stop by the grocery store? I want a granny smith apple.

Stewie: You know what else is gross? (lets out a hard fart and his right eye turns red) Ahh! Broke a damn blood vessel!

    • Lois: Look, Stewie, a note. You know, Mommy doesn't usually read things out of Chris' pocket, she's more respectful then that. Stewie: Yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night, bitch.

    • Girl: O Captain my Captain! Brian: Alright, be the best damn hooker you can be! 2nd Girl: O Captain, my Captain! Brian: In your case, I'd get the money up front.

    • Stewie: (Referring to Lois's breast, while being squashed between an embracing Peter and Lois) Just remember fat man, those jugs are mine till the milk dries up. Then you can have the remains.

The problem is, Juliet's peeps are like East Coast rappers, and my posse's representin' West Siiiide, just like my boys Tupac and Biggie. Know what I'm sayin? Student 1: That's racist man. Student 2: Yeah man, that's just straight ig'nant dawg.

    • Lois: You see, our son Chris, well... Peter: Wait, Lois, we have to handle this delicately. Mrs. Lockhart, our son....would like to plow you. Mrs. Lockhart: Oh, I had a feeling it was something like that.

    • Gym Teacher: Most of the time, the kids play out in the field, but if it's raining or I'm hungover, they stay inside and play dodgeball. Peter: Aw, I love dodgeball! Heads up! (Throws ball at man) Home Ec Teacher: This week in home ec, we're teaching your kids how to make bundt cakes. Peter: Aw, I love bundt cakes! Heads up! (Throws a bundt cake at man) Band Teacher: The school band offers a variety of instruments from the kettle drum to the trombone. Peter: Aw, I love the trombone! (Man is bracing himself) (Peter does a trombone solo) (Applause) Lois: (to the woman next to her) I know, isn't he wonderful? He took lessons in junior college. Peter: Heads up! (Throws trombone at man)

    • Brian as Mark Twain: I'd better catch my time steamboat back to the 1800s. (goes down "steps" behind his desk. Normal Brian pops up) Brian: Hey, sorry I'm late. What did I miss? Chris: Yeah! Cap'n Crunch was here!

    • When Peter is at parent/teacher night at Chris' school, the teacher asks for someone to pass out some papers. Peter's response of "Oh, oh, Ms. Clifton. Ms. Clifton!" is similar to Horshack in "Welcome Back, Kotter".

    • Elisabeth Hasselbeck Stewie: I just had a dream I was an egg and I was being hatched by Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a former Survivor contestant and is now a co-host on The View.

    • Mrs. Lockheart The teacher Chris falls for is a reference to Pamela Smart who, in March 1991, seduced a sixteen-year-old boy and convinced him to kill her husband.

    • Three's Company (Peter bursts into the classroom wearing a robe) Peter: Jack. Twins. Swedish. My place. Now.

His friend Larry bursts into their apartment like Peter does in this scene.

    • Dead Poet's Society Students: "O Captain, My Captain"
      The scene where Brian's students stand on their tables and say "O Captain, My Captain" is a reference to the final scene of the 1989 movie Dead Poets Society starring Robin Williams.

    • Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High The title is a reference the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

    • You Can't Do That On Television Peter: I Don't Know
      In the 80s a Canadian sketch comedy show was all the rage, eventually exported to the US On Nickelodeon the program would feature various skits and gags including being slimed when someone would say "I Don't Know" The name of the show was You Can't Do That on Television, and the picture of a man's face with the title of the show was how the original series transitioned into another sketch.
