New Kidney in Town - S9-E8

Continuity mistake: When Peter returns home from being hyped up on Red Bull, he has numerous cans in his arms. When he sees Stewie he immediately drops the cans on the floor but when the camera pulls back as he sits down with Stewie in his lap, the cans of Red Bull are nowhere to be seen.

And I'm Joyce Kinney - S9-E9

Continuity mistake: After Joyce reveals the secret on the news it soon cuts to Joyce sitting in front of the mirror at Quahog 5, and in the mirror's reflection we see the door behind Joyce opens at the real Lois' right side (blocking the lightswitch), but in the next shot facing Lois the door opens the opposite way (not blocking the lightswitch). (00:13:25)

German Guy - S9-E11

Continuity mistake: When Franz Gutentag falls off the step towards the end of the episode, Herbert is on the porch of the house and reaches out to him. When we see the shot of Gutentag falling in slow motion and the birds fly away, there is no sign of Herbert on the porch.

Neil Jones

Trading Places - S9-E13

Continuity mistake: When Carter destroys the bench after being the first contestant out of wining the old dirt bike, in the digger he backs off screen and you hear a crash and a car alarm, but when the shot is widened you see two cars where he backed into and both are undamaged.

Tiegs for Two - S9-E14

Tiegs for Two - S9-E14

Continuity mistake: As Peter pulls up outside the laundrette, there are parked cars visible on the other side of the road. In the next shot, as Peter is exiting his car, the cars have disappeared.

Brothers & Sisters - S9-E15

Continuity mistake: When Carol's taxi stops in front of the house Lois rushes out to welcome her sister, and in the first shot the semaphore flag is attached to the curbside mailbox with its "L" shape facing the ground, but in the next shot as Quagmire shows up, the flag is now attached to the mailbox the opposite way. (00:02:35)

Brothers & Sisters - S9-E15

Continuity mistake: When Mayor West and Carol are walking on the beach, the buttons on West's suit switch to the opposite side, and this occurs again in later scenes.

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein - S3-E22

Peter Griffin: You better watch who you're calling a child Lois. Because if I'm a child then you know what that makes you? A paedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert.

Grumpy Old Man - S10-E9

Trivia: One of the cutaway gags is about someone who survived 9/11 because he was late for work watching late night football. Seth MacFarlane missed his flight, which would have been one of the flights to crash into the World Trade Center, because his agent had given him the incorrect departure time. The plane was scheduled to depart at 7:45 AM and his agent had told him it was departing at 8:15 AM. By the time Seth arrived the boarding had been closed and he was told he would have to catch a later flight.

Business Guy - S8-E9

Question: In the episode, Peter threatens to fire Lois, and she responds with "you wouldn't" and Peter then replies with "Oh really, does the name Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?" which in turn makes Lois go wide eyed and reply with "OK, I'll behave" and Peter then goes on to add "Yes you will" Can anyone explain this joke if it is a joke to comprehend?

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.
