Quotes:

Peter Griffin: Boys there's only one answer. We got to re-cripple Joe. It's the right thing to do. Like taking out Hitler.

Movie Connections:

References "Sesame Street" (1969)

you still got it Seth.

this episode of family guy,believe it or not Joe is walking on air, is a very satisfying episode. the episode is about Joe getting a leg transplant which enables him to walk. Now that Joe is walking he wants more athletic and muscular friends like him. and for that he abandons his 3 best friends for they are lethargic and could not keep up with his dangerous sporting activities that he wants them to be involved in. then he starts hanging out with more athletic friends. feeling dumped,Peter,Cleveland and Quagmire decide to re-cripple him.

I do not agree with people who say family guy has lost its scent after season 3. i still love the outrage and laughs it offers. this episode is one of the best ones since the start of the show. you rock Seth
