Yet another Family Guy take on something Stephen King, this time with parodies of three movie adaptations of King works: Stand by Me (based on the novella The Body), Misery (based on the novel of the same name), and The Shawshank Redemption (based on the novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption).

Peter: Hi, it’s me, Peter. Your TV cartoon pal. You know, Lois has been bitching lately that I watch too much TV and don’t read enough books. So I went to the library and picked up three books by the greatest author in the last thousand years: Stephen King, and tonight, I’d like to share them with you.
