And the Wiener is... - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: At the football game, the row of people behind the Griffins disappear in one shot, and reappear in the next, with not enough time for them to have all moved away, and all moved back. (00:07:10)

Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Weed is crying about losing his job, we see a view of a long line of trees in the window behind him. The camera switches to a close-up of Peter. When it zooms out again, the trees on the right of Mr. Weed are missing.

Suggested correction: I watched this part of the episode twice and no trees are missing in the window behind Mr. Weed after the close-up on Peter. Actually, Mr. Weed's head is covering part of the window where you can't see the trees on the right when he's lying on the table, but when he gets up you can see all the trees.

And the Wiener is... - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When the flag team first walks out to the field, they are all in a straight line. Next time they are in two seperate lines with Meg at the head. Also, the girl with the head brace moves to the front when she is seen in the back. There is not enough time for them to move into the lines. (00:06:50)

The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Brian is looking at board games. Before he spots his favourite (in the wide shot), there is a game of Snakes & Ladders to the left of Chinese Checkers. In the close-up, S&L is gone, and CC has moved up closer to Brian. (00:00:50)

And the Wiener is... - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: As Stewie is about to eat his brisket (just before he throws it at Meg) he is cutting part of it off. Just as he cuts through the shot cuts and you can see the brisket is now back in one whole piece. You can also see the mashed potatoes change from white to green.

Lethal Weapons - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the family are singing an African song, they all point their arms up to the ceiling yet in the next shot, Lois's arms are immediately cupped and pointed downwards - you don't see her moving her arms to that position.

The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Brian is giving his speech at the end, it shows two policemen. The one on the left has a brown drink and the one on the right has a yellow drink. But in the next shot, the one on the right has a yellow drink and the one on the left has a clear drink. (00:21:05)

Underage Peter - S14-E14

Plot hole: They're in the Clam complaining that they can't drink when they make the revelation that Brian can because he's technically 56. But Quagmire should be able to drink, as in a much earlier episode, he's revealed to be over 60.

Suggested correction: Quagmire considers the rest of them to be his best friends. He isn't drinking because they can't drink. He is complaining because since his friends can't drink - he won't drink, so he is still pissed.

It's still a plot hole considering Quagmire's age. I think the writers messed up big time.

You make a good point, but it's awkward to be that one person who is drinking while surrounded by people who can't. So, I understand the correction that was submitted above. Because his friends are not drinking, he now feels that he can't.

It's 100% a mistake. Quagmire simply would buy them alcohol the same way Brian did when they realized he could.

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.
