"Big Man on Hippocampus" is the tenth episode of the eighth season of the American animated sitcom Family Guy. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on January 3, 2010. The episode features Peter after he suddenly begins suffering from amnesia, and can no longer remember anything about his life, including his own family and friends. His wife, Lois, attempts to reintroduce Peter to his surroundings, but he soon discovers partying, and having sex with other women is much more entertaining. Frustrated, Lois decides to leave her husband, causing her neighbor, Quagmire, to attempt to win her over.
The episode was written by Brian Scully and directed by Dominic Bianchi. It received generally negative reviews from critics, despite its "promising start," as well as its many cultural references.[2] According to the Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 8.1 million homes in its original airing.
