Embarrassed over Lois and Peter's antics at the Quahog Founder's Day carnival and her own slumber party, Meg gets Lois, Peter, and Chris invited on Diane Simmons' daytime talk show to call them out on their behavior. After the show, Peter meets a TV producer who makes a reality show out of the Griffin family's life (or, as Meg calls it, "The 24-Hour Loser Channel") -- and replaces Meg with a HotterAndSexier teen actress, which cuts into Peter's time onscreen.
