Back to the Woods - recap

by Wendy on February 17th, 2008

So what did you think of tonight’s NEW Family Guy episode, “Back to the Woods”? Here’s a little summary:

* Stewie lies to Brian that James Woods read his novel and wants to option it and make it a movie. This gag comes from the episode “Brian the Bachelor.” It was later repeated in the episodes “Brian Goes Back to College”, “Saving Private Brian”, and “Movin’ Out (Brian’s Song)”.

* The ending of this episode it almost the same as in the previous episode, Peter’s Got Woods, right to the Raiders of the Lost Ark reference. After trapping Woods in a box using candy as bait, Peter tells Brian that they should just start out with that next time as it is the second time he (Woods) fell for it.

* Despite having been killed by Stewie in Saving Private Brian, vaudevillians Vern and Johnny return. Vern appears as a ghost, while Johnny appears in Hell, Vern states that he (Johnny), “liked little boys.”
* In one of the skits, a man kills himself after watching Garden State.
* The title of this episode comes from the films Back to the Woods.
* The closing scene is a re-creation of the warehouse scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
* When Peter goes to rent a movie, various posters similar to real movies are seen including one for Rocky Balboa.
