The episode originally aired on Fox in the United States on May 13, 2012. In this episode, Peter joins the Tea Party movement and, along with his father-in-law, Carter, successfully shuts down the government. However, things do not turn out as expected, and Peter has to find out a way to make things the way they were. The episode was written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Pete Michels. It received mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and cultural references. It was viewed by 4.94 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings. The episode features guest performances from Kirker Butler, Chris Cox, Ralph Garman, Ari Graynor, Alexa Ray Joel, Christine Lakin, Tara Strong, Nicole Sullivan, Julius Sharpe, and Fred Tatasciore, along with several guest performers for the series. PlotAt the grand re-opening of Goldman's Pharmacy, Peter finds a "come in, we're open" sign on the front door, and decides to buy one. After people mistake the sign as a business, Peter decides to go into business for himself. The business, however, becomes short-lived when Joe is forced to shut him down for having an unlicensed business. After fighting City Hall and losing, Peter finds a sympathetic ear in Quagmire when they see a news report about the Tea Party and decide to join, much to the dismay of Brian, who informs him that the Tea Party is really a tool of big business. Joe tags along with Peter and Quagmire to a rally where Peter's father-in-law, Carter, is posing as an everyday worker named "Joe Workingman". Following the rally, Peter stops inside to use the restroom, where he finds Carter. Although he manages to persuade Peter that the two are separate, Carter enlists Peter to help get rid of the government. Despite the family's resistance, Peter makes calls for Carter on behalf of the Tea Party and successfully campaigns to have Mayor West shut down Quahog's government. The citizens of Quahog celebrate their new freedom from government, getting away with many things. From Quagmire marrying and impregnating a giraffe and flatly telling that the giraffe's son is not his, to Chris overdosing on Mescaline and going to Las Vegas. However, Brian makes the Griffins aware of Carter's pollution, and as time goes on things get worse, up to the point where basic services (such as electricity and plumbing) are completely inaccessible and the citizens start rioting in the streets. After visiting Carter to help him and getting turned down by him, Peter calls the town together. He delivers a heartfelt speech about the government, although he manages to present it as an "entirely new thing". After convincing the citizens to successfully reform the government, Peter looks on the Internet to see what people are saying about him, only to be disappointed by the result. Production and cultural references"Tea Peter" was written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Pete Michels.[1] Series regular Peter Shin serves as a supervising animation producer, with James Purdum and Dominic Bianchi as supervising directors, and Andrew Goldberg and Alex Carter as executive story editors.[1] In addition to the regular cast, ex-Family Guy writer Kirker Butler, voice actor Chris Cox, voice actor Ralph Garman, actress Ari Graynor, actress Alexa Ray Joel, voice actress Christine Lakin, voice actress Tara Strong, voice actress Nicole Sullivan, writer Julius Sharpe, and voice actor Fred Tatasciore guest starred in the episode.

Recurring guest cast members Adam West and Patrick Warburton also appeared in the episode, portraying the characters of Mayor West and Joe Swanson, respectively.[2] Some cultural references were used in this episode. Peter joins the Tea Party, which is a reference to the Tea Party movement.[4] At the Tea Party rally, Peter can be heard yelling "We are Marshall!", which is a reference to the film of the same name.[4] ReceptionIn its original broadcast on May 13, 2012, "Tea Peter" was watched by 4.94 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, despite airing simultaneously with Celebrity Apprentice on NBC and the series finale of Desperate Housewives on ABC.[6] It also acquired a 2.4/6 rating in the 18–49 demographic group, losing to Desperate Housewives but beating Celebrity Apprentice.[3] The ratings fell from the previous episode, "Leggo My Meg-O".[4] The episode received mixed reviews. Kevin McFarland of The A.V. Club gave a C+ rating.[5] He stated that "the thin plot arc didn't do much for [him]", however praising the "cutaways which made [him] laugh".[5] He also noted that "[the episode] seems to believe that every follower of the Tea Party movement would propose exactly the same type of government in place now once mass lawlessness overtook the land by following their proposed ideas". He continued, "I didn't buy that final step, but it was the only bit of irony in the entire plot, and I appreciate whenever Family Guy goes for satire with a bit of meaning instead of shouting distilled vitriol for its perceived opponents from a soapbox."[5] Carter Doston of TV Fanatic gave a 2.7/5 rating.[6] He criticized the lack of comedy used, "Seth MacFarlane is a noted liberal, and the politics of the show follow the same track, so an episode mocking the rise of this provocative conservative political movement was inevitable. The problem is that the show forgot to make it funny."[6] He also said "this episode did nothing more than state the obvious, and in a way that was neither profound nor at the very least entertaining."[6] References1. ^1 {{Cite episode|title= Tea Peter|episodelink= |series= Family Guy|serieslink= |credits= MacFarlane, Seth; Meighan, Patrick; Michels, Pete|network= Fox|station= |date= May 13, 2012|season= 10|seriesno= |number= 21|minutes= |quote= |language=}} 2. ^{{cite web|title= Family Guy Episode: "Tea Peter"|url= http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/family-guy-2012/episode-21-season-10/tea-peter/100148|work= TV Guide|accessdate= June 27, 2012}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/05/15/sunday-final-ratings-once-upon-a-time-family-guy-survivor-adjusted-up-survivor-reunion-dateline-adjusted-down/134077/|title=Sunday Final Ratings: 'Once Upon A Time', Family guy', 'Survivor' Adjusted Up; 'Survivor: Reunion', 'Dateline' Adjusted Down|last=Bibel|first=Sarah|date=May 15, 2012|work=TV by the Numbers|accessdate=May 16, 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/05/08/sunday-final-ratings-simpsons-amazing-race-finale-harrys-law-adjusted-up-desperate-housewives-nyc-22-adjusted-down/132865/|title=Sunday Final Ratings: 'Simpsons', 'Amazing Race' Finale, 'Harry's Law' Adjusted Up; 'Desperate Housewives', 'NYC 22' Adjusted Down|last=Kondolojy|first=Amanda|publisher=TV by the Numbers|date=May 8, 2012|accessdate=June 27, 2012}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title= Tea Peter|url= http://www.avclub.com/articles/tea-peter,73735/|date= May 14, 2012|author= McFarland, Kevin|work= The A.V.
