"Northward by North Quahog" was the get-go episode to be broadcast afterward the show's cancellation. It was written by Seth MacFarlane and directed by Peter Shin.[9] MacFarlane believed the prove'southward three-year hiatus was beneficial because animated shows do not normally have hiatuses, and towards the end of their seasons "... you run across a lot more sex activity jokes and (bodily function) jokes and signs of a fatigued staff that their brains are just fried".[ten] With "North by North Quahog", the writing staff tried to keep the show "... exactly as it was" before its cancellation, and did not "... take the desire to make information technology any slicker" than information technology already was.[10] Walter White potato, who had composed music for the bear witness before its cancellation, returned to compose the music for "North past North Quahog".
