From the way Fox is celebrating Family Guy tonight, you'd almost never know the network was once responsible for canceling the show. Eight years after its premiere, the show has finally reached the 100-episode mark, and Fox is going all-out — first with a retrospective of the greatest moments in Family Guy history, then with a special episode called "Stewie Kills Lois."

The retrospective promises to showcase some of the best musical numbers, cutaway gags, and spoofs of Family Guy to date, but the main event is the 100th episode itself. In it, Lois and Peter set out for a cruise, leaving the rest of the family to fend for themselves. Stewie is not so thrilled at being left behind, and he decides to launch a diabolical plan to get back at Lois for ditching him.

I heard the cast read through this episode live back in July, and I'm really curious to see how much of the script made it through broadcast standards and into the final version. The episode was hilarious, but there were a few jokes that were off-color — even by Family Guy standards. Still, if not during the 100th episode, then when? If you're a fan of the show, this episode shouldn't be missed. Will you be watching?
