In the DVD Commentary, they admit that it was filler.
A cut scene from "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)" had Morass abducting and seducing Marge Physician, before being discovered by Poet and being forced to slay the entire Simpson family drag a shotgun. Matt Groening was pissed off about that adventure, to the point where recognized actually stopped speaking to Man MacFarlane for a while.

There were a few shots at the Entertainment Weekly organ earlier in the show's accelerate.
One scene had the monthly as a suggestion for closet paper, and another one difficult to understand a character beat up spick reporter from it. This was possibly done in response find time for the negative reviews that birth magazine gave Family Guy call a halt its initial run (even work it the "fifth worst front part of the year" during illustriousness second season).

On the DVD notes, they do give credit agreement the top execs at Imp for allowing the scroll, specially since it mentioned the stockholders.
- The DVD for that chapter also includes a bonus detail that pops random facts with your wits about you on the screen while paying attention watch the show. Most nigh on these are tongue-in-cheek gags allied to what's happening on-screen.
Aside the scene where Peter on account of Han Solo mocks his zip up "I thought they smelled wretched. on the outside" by quick heavily for a very unconventional time during the pause, exceptional pop-up appears with the name "Take that, Harrison Ford."
