This is a message for Wendy regarding the summary of “The Juice Is Loose” (I’m sure you may have noticed this post if I put it on that earlier blog, but this is convenient for me). Anyway, I don’t know where you got that old summary featuring Tom Tucker and a parade float, but this one’s the real deal:

Peter cashes in a raffle ticket from 1989 and wins a golf outing with O.J. Simpson. When Peter befriends the infamous former running back and brings him home to meet the family, the residents of Quahog aren’t so welcoming to the new houseguest and tell him to take a hike in the all-new “The Juice Is Loose” episode of FAMILY GUY airing Sunday, March. 15 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Now this would certainly make sense regarding that “O.J. Simpson” reference you pulled up.

Also, according to TV MSN, the next episode to air is entitled “FOX-y Lady” on March 22, 2009. If you ask me, it’s “Anchorwoman: The Legend of Lois Griffin” with a not-so-uncommon title change (think “McStroke”); but this is TV MSN, after all, so we’ll have to wait until more info comes up, won’t we?
