This might be my favorite episode of the series. Not only is it really funny but also deep, questioning the moral status of society. As Brian feels like he's mistreated as a stereotypical dog by Peter, he leaves the family and gets the same treatment from everyone else. It's like an allegory for the civil rights movement down to the public outraging over his use of the same drinking fountain as them. This episode has some of the best jokes of the season, like the Griffin's new cat, the scene where they parody an old 1930's style cartoon, and of course the Jeopardy scene. With a combination of great jokes and a spectacular setup this is the season's highlight for sure. And that's saying a lot as I really really loved the pilot. Either way, the two best episodes of the season and nothing else comes close.
