Skip for under 14
Family Guy S5 E2, “2. Mother Tucker”, scores 3/5 for violence, 4/5 for sex and 3/5 for language, for an overall kid-rating of 4/5 — Skip for under 14. When Peter's mother announces that she is getting a divorce, Peter feels abandoned until he finds a father figure in his mom's new boyfriend, Quahog's resident anchor man, Tom Tucker. Peter takes such an interest in Tom that he reverts to being a child again, but things aren't all fun and games for long. Meanwhile, Brian gets his own NPR-style radio show, but when Stewie hears the news, he can't help but stir things up.
