"When a bubbly new family moves next door, Peter gets annoyed. Lois becomes fast friends with Debbie, Meg tries to pick up on son Kyle and Peter is forced to invite Joe to play on his company baseball team.

  1. During early production scripts up until March of 1999, Bonnie and Kevin were originally named Debbie and Kyle, which seeped their way into early TV guides and the Season 1 UK episode listing.
