David Cassidy in Popular Culture - Family Guy
A reference to David Cassidy is made in Season 7, episode 15 titled "3 Kings". This episode initially aired on May 10, 2009.
After Peter discovers the writing of Stephen King, he imagines his family and friends in three of King’s most famous works. In the third parody of The Shawshank Redemption Andy Dufresne (Peter) is sent to Shawshank Prison where he meets and quickly befriends a fellow inmate named Red. Andy asks Red for a rock hammer with which he can slowly tunnel out of the prison, as well as make Star Wars figurines out of rocks, which the prison's corrupt warden (Carter) offers to sell. Andy informs Red that he is going to escape, saying he is going to Zihuatanejo in Mexico, and tells him that if he should ever get out of prison, he should go to a hayfield in Buxton to a volcanic rock he will have placed there. Later that night, Andy is nowhere to be found. In a fury, the Warden throws one of Andy's rocks at a poster of David Cassidy, tearing a hole through its rectum. The Warden sticks his hand into the hole, discovering a tunnel that Andy had made, leading to a sewage pipe that leads Andy to freedom. After being released from Shawshank, Red goes to the field in Buxton Andy told him to go to, finding a box containing money and a postcard asking if he remembers the name of the Mexican country Andy told him about, Zihuatanejo; unfortunately, Red does not. Andy is then shown preparing a boat on a beach in Zihuatanejo, eagerly waiting for Red to arrive so they can sail off together, though Red presumably never does.
