[edit] Story
Carter Pewterschmidt is Lois's wealthy father and husband of Barbara Pewterschmidt. He owns U.S. Steel, doesn't approve of gay marriage or voting rights for homosexuals, and employs many Mexican immigrants to run his extensive mansion and grounds. To him money, not love, is the secret to happiness, although he briefly reconsiders his stance when he is penniless and Peter is helping him rebuild his fortune. He hates Peter and offered him $1,000,000 if he didn't marry Lois. In the 19th century, his family owned Peter's black ancestor Nate Griffin as a slave. He is good friends with Michael Eisner, Ted Turner and Bill Gates, playing poker with them regularly. He used to own a race winning greyhound named Seabreeze but she became pregnant with Ted Turner's babies. Recently, Carter has shown signs of leniency against Peter, going so far as to say "You're alright, Griffin." in Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey. By curious coincidence, Carter's voice sounds virtually identical to that of Dr. Hartman; Carter is also one of his patients, but they have little interaction, however Peter tells Dr. Hartman that he sounds exactly like his father in law, Carter and Hartman soon notice they do sound an awful lot like each other.
In another episode Peter decides to write his own erotic novels, and goes to Carter to ask for him to lend him some money to get his business open. Instead Carter gives him five dollars. Peter uses it however and his books are published by "Carter Pewterschmidt Labels" a man sues Carter because he was listening to an audtio tape that got him so excited he took of his top whilst driving and crashed through the Kool-Aid Man's house. Carter then becomes poor and his wife Babs leaves him. Carter then is forced to live with the Griffins, and he and Peter try to get rich by stealing money from Lois's purse, selling drugs to Meg and robbing a train however they all fail. At the end of the episode Babs returns and tells Carter they are rich again and he leaves leaving Peter and the others poor as they were. Lois tells Peter Carter had offered them a million dollars as a wedding present but she turned it down, whilst Lois is talking to him about it Peter has thoughts of killing Lois based on the fact she refused the money.
