In Family Guy season 3 episode 10, titled "Fish Out of Water," the Griffin family decides to go on a vacation to a fish camp. Excited for some time away from their busy lives in Quahog, the family packs their bags and heads out to the wilderness.
Upon arrival, they quickly realize that camping is not quite what they had expected. They struggle to adapt to the rustic lifestyle, with Peter struggling the most out of all of them. As a city slicker at heart, he finds himself out of his depth in the great outdoors.
The family is also introduced to their fellow campers, including a group of hunters who are also camping nearby. While some of the Griffin family members are able to bond with the hunters over fishing and hunting, others are concerned about their more violent tendencies.
Over the course of the episode, each family member has their own unique experience at the camp. Lois becomes enamored with the peaceful surroundings and starts to let go of some of her controlling tendencies, while Meg falls for a cute boy who she meets at the camp. Meanwhile, Chris struggles with the lack of technology and entertainment options available to him.
Throughout "Fish Out of Water," there are moments of humor and heartwarming family bonding as the Griffin family members navigate their unfamiliar surroundings. As with most Family Guy episodes, there are also plenty of pop culture references and cutaway gags to keep viewers entertained.
Overall, the episode is a fun and lighthearted take on the classic family vacation trope. It showcases the various personalities within the Griffin household and how they all react differently to being out of their comfort zones. By the end of the episode, the family has grown closer and learned to appreciate the great outdoors in their own unique ways.
