The episode is centered on housewife Lois Griffin's employment at Fox News Channel, despite the warnings of anthropomorphic dog Brian.

Meanwhile, husband Peter and son Chris decide to create their own animated sitcom. The pilot episode is a success with the CEO, but Peter decides not to air it when it is suggested that it be edited.
The episode was written by Matt Fleckenstein and directed by Pete Michels. It received mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references.
