    Bonnie convinces Lois to join her Tae-Jitsu class and Quahog is invaded by New York "leafers" coming to look at the pretty colored leaves in fall. Lois quickly becomes a black-belt, and Peter uses his new dangerous wife to drive away all the annoying New Yorkers. However, Lois's new-found violent side finds its way into the Griffin household, and after trying counseling, the whole family has an all-out brawl to get it out of their system. I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Family Guy". There were a lot of parts that made me laugh very hard and the storyline was magnificent. There were so many parts that made me laugh such as the cutaway with Stewie playing hoops then trips a guy and has an argument with him, Lois forcing Chris and Meg to hug each other followed by Chris saying "It's gonna be awkward when we go potty" (or something like that), Stewie seeing a therapist, Chris wrestling an imaginary bear, The family fighting each other in the last 3 minutes of the episode plus them laughing about Peter's head being in the butt of a donkey painting followed by Stewie smacking Brian and continuing the family brawl, the joke about the network at the very end of the episode, and a few more. Overall, this is an episode that everyone must see... fantastic humor and a fantastic storyline, this episode easily gets a 10 out of 10 from me. 10/10moreless

    This is one of my favorite episodes of the show, but not my number one favorite. I highly enjoyed the concept of Lois going to Tae-Jitsu, and I think they had a great storyline, apart from the great humour that we got.

    I also thought that the fight between the whole Griffin family was hilarious, and it was really interesting, and in my opinion, they did that scene very well.

    It is a very interesting episode, and I highly recommend it because it had quite a number of funny moments and it certainly provides many great laughs.

    I hope to get even more great episodes, and this show is going great!moreless

    The Griffin family lets their anger out in "Lethal Weapons": Lois takes her Tae-Jitsu class too far, Peter tries to get back at the "Leafers" from New York, and Stewie deals with some anger manager problems of his own.

    The "Leafers" part of the episode is especially hilarious - Peter and company are driven nuts by the vacationers from New York. Lois' Tae-Jitsu part is marginally funny but not on its own, how it affects Peter and Stewie is how that part of the story is funny. "Lethal Weapons" is a very good Family Guy episode with one particularly memorable element: the Griffin family engages in a gigantic fight.moreless

    What I liked- Chris and Meg being forced to hug each other by Lois, "It's going to be awkward to potty", Stewie seeing the therapist, the family thinking they took pills from Brian, the family fighting each other, Lois' flashback about being an attraction, the ending of the episode about the network, amongst other things.

    Good episode. It was both hilarious and had a good plot, what more could you ask for? Definitely giving this episode an A+moreless

    • Peanuts Lois kicks the girl who takes away the football. This is a reference to Peanuts, the popular Charlie Brown comics and TV Show, where Charlie would start running to kick a football being held by Lucy and then Lucy would pull it away as he was kicking it, causing Charlie to fly through the air and fall down.

    • Do The Right Thing Peter: Lois, brothers and sisters fighting is as natural as a white man's dialogue in a Spike Lee movie. Peter is referring to the movie "Do The Right Thing." Edit

      This refers to the television show ratings that were established in the United States in the mid-1990s. These were created so that parents could monitor what programs their children were viewing and make sure those programs were safe for them. The six ratings are: TV-Y (viewable for children of all ages), TV-Y7 (viewable for children over seven), TV-14 (viewable for people fourteen years and older), TV-G (viewable for all people), TV-PG (parental guidance suggested for child viewing), TV-M (mature audiences only, more or less for viewers seventeen years and older (this rating was later renamed TV-MA)). There are also signs included with each rating to indicate what content was in the show (there aren't any included with TV-Y or TV-G ratings, as these shows have no suggestive content): FV (fantasy violence (only included with TV-Y7 ratings), D (suggestive dialogue (not found with TV-MA ratings)), L (adult language, be it mild or strong), S (sexual or sex-related situations), and V (violence, be it mild or strong).
