What Season 2 of Family Guy

The Griffin family inherits Cherrywood Manor, a summer mansion in Newport. Peter buys a $100 million vase at an auction and, to pay off the debt, tries to get the house declared a historic landmark. Peter's ultra-Catholic father, freshly retired, moves in and makes life impossible for everyone. Brian suffers from incontinence problems that lead him to a therapist, and Meg, ignored and humiliated by her own family, searches for her place. Lois, meanwhile, agrees to run a theater company in Quahog. Peter drags the family into all of his schemes.
