There's a flashback of Peter embarrassing Meg in church which FOX originally cut from the pilot episode. The episode received a 2.6 rating and was watched by a total of 5.23 million people this made it the second most watched show on Animation Domination that night, beating American Dad! and Bob's Burgers, but losing to The Simpsons with 6.37 million.It was restored on the DVD release, so it appears twice on the DVD. “Finders Keepers” is stuck in the middle, where it gets the worst of both worlds." The show's best episodes are either insane and totally continuity-less or grounded more closely in a character or relationship (most of the Stewie and Brian episodes). Family Guy 's cutaway-driven plasticity is kind of an all-or-nothing asset.

Unfortunately, the effective cutaways don't make up for the lackluster main plot, which is so formulaic it distracts from the rest of the show's ample distraction. Family Guy has been making that sort of self-referential joke for a while, but tonight's versions actually work pretty well, particularly when Peter uses his cutaway power in the treasure hunt by traveling via douchey promo for the Suzuki Samurai or cutting into the closed Drunken Clam. Club gave the episode a C, saying "Toward the end of “Finders Keepers,” the cutaways mostly become about the cutaways themselves.

When the guys try to join in, Peter sends them out on their own.įollowing the clue, they join everyone else, but Brian follows a slightly different angle on the clue. Despite Brian's urging to keep it secret, Peter had already gone public, launching a citywide hunt for the treasure. Taking it home, the family discovers it contains a clue to obtaining the treasure. As Lois comes to fetch him while digging on his own, he digs up a treasure chest. Peter tries to recruit the guys to his hunt, but fails. The waiter tells Stewie that his placemat is a real treasure map, then tells a probably false story about Miles "Chatterbox" Musket which impresses Peter, despite Lois's insistence that it is a joke. To celebrate the shrimp removal, Peter and the family go out to eat at The Founding Father restaurant. The dentist discovers a shrimp left in Peter's mouth for an entire week. It affects his relationships with his co-workers and family until Lois forces him to go to the dentist. Peter arrives from work with foul breath.
