In the episode, Peter Griffin and his friends Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland (who has returned to Quahog) as they decide to go on a road trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. Whilst driving they are stopped by a police officer, arrested and thrown in jail by the sheriff who abuses his power, and plants marijuana in their car. The group then attempt to escape the prison due to their stay being extended indefinitely, and return to Quahog. The episode served as a follow-up to the exit of the main character Cleveland Brown, who left ''Family Guy'' in order to star in his own Fox spin-off, entitled ''The Cleveland Show''. Main cast member and former series writer Mike Henry returned to the series to provide the voice of Cleveland. The episode also featured a crossover between ''Family Guy'' and ''The Cleveland Show'', both of which were created by executive producer Seth MacFarlane, and included cameo appearances by two of ''The Cleveland Show''s main characters. First announced at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International, the episode was written by Artie Johann and Shawn Ries, and directed by Brian Iles. The episode received mixed reviews , praising its structure and humor, but criticizing it for not living up to the 1967 drama film ''Cool Hand Luke'', which the episode was named after. According to Nielsen ratings, it was watched by 7.14 million people in its original airing. The episode featured guest performances by Ralph Garman, Bob Gunton, Sanaa Lathan, Julius Sharpe, and Jennifer Tilly, along with several recurring guest voice actors from the series. ==Plot== When Cleveland Brown returns to Quahog for a week, he visits his old friends Peter, Joe and Quagmire. When Peter gets tired of his wife constantly demanding that he do chores, the group decides to take a road trip to New Orleans. While their husbands are away, Lois, Bonnie and Donna proceed to enjoy "girl time", eventually resulting in wine-induced childish antics, such as making Brian wear a bumblebee costume. While driving through a rural area in Georgia, Peter and his group are pulled over by the local sheriff, and Peter makes every effort to talk as annoyingly and rudely to him as possible. The Sheriff is more offended by Cleveland's attempt to calmly explain themselves, prompting him to punch out one of their headlights and plant a bag of marijuana in their trunk. The group is then sentenced to work at a county work camp for two weeks. As their stay nears its scheduled end, the warden approaches them and tells them that their stay has been extended, without any judicial oversight. Learning from another prisoner that they might be locked up forever, the group decides to break out of the prison when the prison guard's eyes are diverted. Successful in their attempt, they soon come across a house where they discover a set of handcuff and shackle keys. They then discover that they are in the sheriff's home, who returns soon after. Peter pretends to be his wife while hiding in a closet, and he convinces the sheriff to let the fugitives go free. This exchange ends with the sheriff asking for a hug, prompting Peter to jump out of the closet and reveal the group, causing the sheriff to give chase to them after revealing that he was never married. The entire police force then chases them, until they are able to jump on a train and arrive in Quahog, only to be met by the Georgia sheriff and his deputies. Joe, however, had called ahead and arranged for the Quahog police department to arrive and rescue them. Joe then smashes the sheriff's vehicle and shoots him in the leg as retribution for the sheriff's corruption and abuse towards the group. Joe tells the sheriff that just because he has a badge does not mean he can treat anyone the way he wants to. Without hesitation, Joe angrily demands that the sheriff and his deputies leave Quahog, which they reluctantly do. The gang congratulates Joe when Mayor West appears, riding on a bike and says, "Hey, what are you guys, on a date? Gay!" At the end of the show, Peter acknowledges that they've done a wrap-up of what they've learned hundreds of times and just mumbles the cadence, which is then picked up by Lois and the family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cool Hand Peter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
