[edit] Season 6: 2007-2008
FOX celebrated the 100th episode episode as "Stewie Kills Lois", although the three episodes that made up the DVD movie weren't included in their "official" count. They also counted the hour long episode Blue Harvest count as two individual episodes, explaining the differing episodes for the 100th show. Due to the 2007-2008 Writers' Guild of America strike, this season had a short amount of episodes and three were shown without permission from Seth MacFarlane (who supported the striking writers by refusing to complete any episodes).

Later, Stewie sees a man who bears a striking resemblance to him and is convinced that this man is his real father. He then sets out with Brian on a cross-country adventure to find the man, who reveals to Stewie a startling secret. The film was split in three parts and altered for television forming the episodes "Stewie B. Goode", "Bango Was His Name, Oh!" and "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure". |
