    When Peter hears Loretta scream, he tries to help out, but discovers Loretta is cheating on Cleveland. Peter figures out that it was Quagmire and decides to tell Cleveland about it. But when Loretta walks out on Cleveland he doesn't take it lightly.

    I liked the "You've been kicked in the nuts" gag, and the "let the hate flow through, YOU'RE NOT HELPING", and I liked how Cleveland tried to kick Quagmire's ass. What I didn't like was how Cleveland couldnt hurt Quagmire, so you're just going to let a man sleep with your wife and forgive him? Jeez..

    In this episode Cleveland's wife, Loretta, cheats on him with Quagmire. At first he's barely upset at all, but eventually he goes on an angry rampage to kill Quagmire. As the title suggests, this is a crazy episode, yet the story somehow all flows together, and on a side note the cutaways work pretty nicely here, the best of which is the vauderdale boys and the aids song. Also, through episode, I began to like Cleveland better through this episode. Before this ep, I enjoyed Cleveland, but he felt more like an misused side-character, but here he's used to perfect effect from his gentle nature to his angry outburst to his return to gentle nature, this is Cleveland's best storyline ever, and watching this made me sad to not see him in the newer episodes of family guy. :(. Overall, I'm not afraid to classify this as one of my top 20 favorites, and I highly suggest you watch this episode. 9/10moreless

    Haha, great episode. Peter compares kissing the CPR dummy to kissing Faye Dunaway. LMAO! I loved when Quagmire's hand is in Loretta's shirt, and Cleveland just ignores it. Peter attempts CPR on a living, breathing man. LMAO! I loved when the guy gave Joe CPR, and Peter's like, "Eew, gay LMAO! Loretta tells Quagmire to shut up, and to put some more sugar in her bowl. LMAO! I love Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, and all of the Family Guy cast and crew. They're geniuses. I love when Brian asks Meg if she wants to have sex. Great episode, definitely.moreless

    Peter and Brian catch Loretta sleeping with another man, but don't catch the man. It turns out the man was Quagmire. Soon Cleveland and Loretta break up, and at first, Cleveland does not care. But soon he wants to make Quagmire pay. They are about to fight but in the end they do not and their friendship is restored.

    A decent episode, not one of their all-time best, but from what I remember it is watchable. It had a decent plot and some good jokes, my overall grade for this episode is a B- or so. Good, but not greatmoreless

  • To begin with i'm not an avid Family Guy viewer. I don't even like it that much but i find this episode OK.

    This episode doesn't get down to business until about 15 minutes into it. Peter is throwing a party on his boat and when Joe nearly drowns the hypersonic Lois makes Peter attend CPR class run by the freaky, non - name guy who wears the green sweater. (You know who i'm talking about).

    After his license is revoked Peter hears Loretta screaming and later sees her having relations with Quagmire. When the mild - mannered Cleveland is kicked out and refuses to take out his anger; Peter teaches him to "free the beast".

    As you can see this episode is very scattered and neither of the clunky plot twists work too well but the final little bit that has Cleveland transformed angry has its moments. This is the first episode to have a storyline centered on someone other than a Griffin family member and the ending has a permanent effect on the rest of the series.

    The problem with the episode, for once, does not lie in how it looks as the animation at this point has taken leaps and bounds in its detail and quality but their writing really hasn't; the plot feels so underwritten with the jokes often being more lame than funny. The interesting twist where Cleveland finally taps into his rage is given a brief and illogical conclusion.

    Audibly this episode is painful; partly due to Loretta and Alex Borstein's atrocious female African - American accent which is overused here and Cleveland's elongated and weird speech gets so grating on the ears due to his prologned appearence, we find ourselves wishing it was over for a reason other than the episode was going nowhere. The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire is not a quagmire in that it offers some superficial entertainment but beyond its "guilty pleasure" appeal, there really isn't much to offer.moreless
