Fans canwatchFamily Guyseason 23, episode 14, “Cool Hand Lois” on Thursday, May 29th, 2025 at 9 p.m. E.T. on Fox.
The official episode description reads, according to IMDb:
“Lois becomes the leader of a group of mothers who want to ban books from schools.”
Lois (Alex Bornstein) is a singular character, and it’s always fun when aFamily Guyepisode finds her in a unique situation. Season 23, episode 14 will dive into the topic of banning books, and based on the description, it sounds like Lois will enjoy the powerful feeling she gets from being in charge.
As fans know,the most unforgettableFamily Guyepisodesfeature dark humor and satirical moments. It’s a very different show from a more light-hearted animated family sitcom such asBob’s Burgers. WhilesomeFamily Guyepisodes have divided fans, there have beensome moving moments, too, which sums up the unique experience of watching the animated sitcom. It sounds like season 23, episode 14 will have the typical grim humor the show is known for. The next episode likely won’t have a happy ending likeBob’s Burgersepisodes often do, but fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
The previous episode, season 23, episode 13, “The Fat Lotus,” spoofed the beloved HBO Mike White seriesThe White Lotusandcentered around Peter and Lois’s oftentimes dramatic and difficult relationship. Since the two fight so much, it’s sometimes hard to remember an episode when they aren’t dealing with some marriage trouble.Glenn Quagmire (Seth MacFarlane) also gets the spotlight, and fans know him as a controversial character who says inappropriate things. While the Griffin family lives in Quahog, Rhode Island. Although the episodes about Lois and Peter’s marriage are of course a significant part of the series, it’s also great when Lois gets her own episode.
Family Guyseason 23 has featured some interesting storylines, including Meg going on a dating show and someparodies of popular TV shows such asThe Bear, The Dropout, andOnly Murders in the Building.Theseason 23 episode “Fat Gun” is a parody of the hit action movieTop Gun, although fans didn’t like that episode as much as previous parodies. “Cool Hand Lois” sounds compelling and, of course, the episode title refers to the movieCool Hand Luke, which was released in 1967.

Family Guyturned 25 in 2024, and the cast and creator gave an interview toThe Los Angeles Timesabout the milestone.
Alex Bornstein reflected on the show and said:
“It was sketch comedy mixed in with a sitcom and it was so dense. Each episode had so much in it, and I just knew it was special and weird and made me laugh out loud, throughout. But I had no idea it would be 25 years. None whatsoever.”
Bornstein added to Seth MacFarlane,“Sorry. Not that I didn’t trust you.“MacFarlane also shared his thoughts on keepingFamily Guygoing, which fans will want to hear. The actor, comedian, and showrunner said:
“At this point, I don’t see a good reason to stop. People still love it. It makes people happy…”
He continued:
“I don’t know that there’s any reason to stop at this point unless people get sick of it. Unless the numbers show that people just are, ‘Eh, we don’t care about ‘Family Guy’ anymore.’ But that hasn’t happened yet.”
Fromthe “Lois Is Dead” hoax on social mediatoHerbert, who is voiced by Mike Henry,Family Guyhas featured many memorable moments and characters, and fans definitely hope for several more seasons.
