Alice was Rose's cow in Saint Olaf. Alice was brought in to replace Toby, although Toby was male, so technically would have been a bull. Saint Olaf was the almost mystical (and very strange) town in Minnesota where Rose grew up.

Answer: The Merchant of Venice

The troupe from "Monty Python" created two episodes for Bavarian television, which aired in January of 1972.

The scene was shot near the castle of Bad Ischl.

"The Merchant of Venice" was written between 1596 and 1599. It is most notable for the Jewish money lender Shylock, whose depiction is controversial even four centuries later. As Eric Idle pointed out, the play is extremely difficult for animals to perform, especially chickens.

"Family Guy" began on Fox in 1999, and falling ratings led the network to cancel the show in 2001. An enthusiastic fan base brought the show back to life in 2005. The animated show centers on a very odd family in Rhode Island. Since its return, the show has tended to be in the middle of the ratings.

Answer: The Middle East

In "Ginger Cow", Cartman dresses up a cow as a ginger. This is seen as a biblical prophecy of a "red cow" which leads to a peace agreement between Jews and Arabs in the Middle East. When Cartman threatens to expose the hoax, Kyle endures Cartman's ridicule in order to preserve the peace. It falls apart in the end, because... "South Park", right?

"South Park" is the brainchild of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It began airing on Comedy Central in August 1997, and has consistently been one of the network's most popular programs. Parker and Stone frequently parody current events and pop culture fads on the show.
