"No Meals on Wheels" is a very stiff episode

I was very disappointed with this episode. There's not many Family Guy episodes I don't like. But so far, I think this is the worst. Yeah, there are very funny gags and jokes, but sadly, it doesn't help. The episode starts out going in multiple directions. Anyway, it ends up with Peter buying "feety" pajamas at a store and discovering what static electricity can do. To stop it, the carpet gets ripped up to find a rare coin, which is worth enough to fund Peter's dream, to buy a restaurant. Joe takes his, what seems like millions, of handicapped friends and Peter decides not to allow them in. It gets into a brawl.

I'm surprise they could air this because I thought it was pretty offensive to handicapped people, and I'm not handicapped and I rarely find Family Guy humor offensive (except when it comes to my religion, but that's a different story ). I also found it stupid how many handicapped friends Joe has, and how Peter's restaurant becomes "the place" for handicapped people to eat at. I found it sad that Mike Henry wrote this episode (voice of Cleaveland, Herbert, Performance Artist, Greased up Deaf Guy, etc.) especially when he wrote great episodes like "The Cleaveland-Loretta Quagmire" and "Patriot Games." I can't figure out what else drives me insane about this episode right now, so I think it's safe to say I didn't like it. ( I Give it */*****)
