He's Too Sexy for His Fat - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: Stewie gets progressively fat throughout the entire episode, but in the last scene he is thin again.
Continuity mistake: Stewie takes the card from the predictor machine in his left hand but on close up it's in his right hand. (00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: When Stewie is in his room talking to Rupert and himself out loud about Janet we see that Rupert is on the left side of Stewie's pillow. When the camera pans over to Brian who overhears Stewie's musings, after Brian makes fun of Stewie the camera pans back and Rupert is gone. There is also a quick tete-a-tete on the color of Janet's eyes and the final shot is on Stewie and his crib and yet no Rupert to be found. (00:07:20)
Continuity mistake: During the end of Peter's "revised" version of "The King and I" right after the scene where Brian and Peter kung-fu fight, the scene transitions to the next scene where a bunch of girls with bikinis on are surrounding Peter. During the transition, a girl appears out of nowhere. She is blonde and is leaning on Peter. (00:19:10)
Fifteen Minutes of Shame - S2-E12
Other mistake: Right at the end, when Peter takes out the Bible, the front cover is on the wrong side, i.e the back.
He's Too Sexy for His Fat - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: Just before the pest control team leaves for the Griffins', we see the black team member holding a shotgun in his hand. After showing Logan in shot, it returns to the black member and he's now holding what looks to be an MP5 machine gun. In the following shot as he starts to slide down the pole, the gun is once again a shotgun.
Continuity mistake: When Peter and Lois kiss and make up at the end, Tricia and the press run up to them. As they arrive there is no-one behind Tricia, but in the next shot there are three people behind her. (00:21:15)
If I'm Dyin' I'm Lyin' - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the scene that parodies "Good Times" and the "JJ" character says the infamous line "Dy-NO-Mite!" as he comes home, his mother has a coffee mug but his father doesn't. In the next shot, they both have mugs.
If I'm Dyin' I'm Lyin' - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Peter, Anne Frank, and a group of people (presumably Anne Frank's family) are hiding from the Nazis, Anne Frank and her family look over to discover Peter munching crisps. In the next shot, Anne Frank's family look somewhat different, in fact they are a different group of people entirely. (00:06:40)
If I'm Dyin' I'm Lyin' - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: When one of the Gumbels is holding a pencil in his mouth and nodding repeatedly, the shaft of the pencil moves with his mouth, but the tip of the pencil (protruding from his hand) stays still. (00:17:35)
Other mistake: In the scene where Einstein is stealing Smith's theory, when Einstein pulls the metal bars down, they should land on Smith's head, but Smith inexplicably moves forward and the bars land on his back.
He's Too Sexy for His Fat - S2-E17
Revealing mistake: When Peter is in the grocery store talking to the Beautiful Peoples Club member, at one point Peter tilts his head, and his glasses disappear.
Continuity mistake: The length of the antennae on the remote control on the back of Chris's head constantly changes between shots.
If I'm Dyin' I'm Lyin' - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Peter says "There's gotta be an explanation for all this" the background is mirrored. (00:20:10)
Continuity mistake: When Diane Simmons is announcing that she will play Anna, the five little pictures behind her change between shots. (00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: In 'Wasted Talent', near the end of the Chumba-Wumba song about Joe being in the wheelchair, the Chumba-Wumbas wheel Joe till he is about 15 yards away from the gate. Then as the shot cuts, Joe and the Chumba-Wumbas are standing right next to the gate. How did this happen? Nobody moved him. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: When Peter drinks the water after having all the dehydrated meals, he expands. Then in the next 'shot' he is much bigger, even though there is no time for him to have expanded further. (00:09:05)
Plot hole: As evidenced by the big bar room shootout, even if they couldn't die in this episode, wounds would still show up on your body (if shot with a gun, there would still be a hole). So, when Peter jumped off the building, when he hit the ground he should have been reduced to a fleshy puddle, even if he weren't dead.
Continuity mistake: When Stewie is just about to fly into the fan in the Griffin's living room, having just attached the antennae to Chris, a green balloon appears on his back with the other three balloons.
Continuity mistake: When Stewie has been picked up by Lois and is being kissed by her, Brian freaks out. When you first see Stewie and Lois, Stewie's hands are on her shirt, next shot, they're on her arms. (00:19:40)
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.
