Continuity mistake: Lois slaps the skull out of Peter's hand and it lands on top of the dirt pile. They both turn around to look at the house and the skull is nowhere in sight.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode there's no coffee table beside the couch. When Brian is trying to prove to Peter that he has gravitational pull because of his weight, there's now a table with a bowl of fruit and a book.

Jungle Love - S4-E13
Other mistake: In the kitchen when Peter is playing with the paddle ball and then Brian confesses to giving Chris the idea about joining the Peace Corp, there is a picture frame on the wall behind Peter.

Factual error: Peter gets a record a message card from Cleveland. He hears a conversation, hears him driving and get pulled over by a cop. Impossible since the card stops recording as soon as you close it.
Other mistake: After Brian says Chris is tweaked and Chris says maybe the toad is Meg's, the bubbles in the aquarium stop moving.
Other mistake: In the flashback to Brian and Peter playing checkers, Brian's piece is not on the back row when he says "king me."
Continuity mistake: Lois and Brian go outside and celebrate Peter's dad's death, then they come back in and sit down. Behind Lois you see the trash cans when Peter says, "But instead he called me a fat stinking drunk, those were his last words," then it cuts to a closer shot of Peter and Lois, and the trash cans have vanished. (00:12:33 - 00:12:54)

Continuity mistake: At the start Stewie is sat in the middle of the middle cushion on the sofa. However, as Lois walks off he is now sat on the join of two cushions nearest Brian. (00:02:25)
Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
