Character mistake: In the cutaway gag involving George and Lorraine McFly from "Back To The Future" Lorraine says she hasn't seen Marty from high school since prom. George, Lorraine and Marty all attended the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in November 1955, not the prom, which is usually held in the spring.
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.
