One If By Clam, Two If By Sea - S3-E4

Factual error: Brian touches the oven handle and gets burned. Not possible. Oven door handles do not get hot.

Continuity mistake: During the song number when Mr Weed arrives, Stewie has a solo part as he starts to backwards crawl up the stairs. In one shot, he climbs up to the third step, but when the camera changes angles he is only on the second step.
The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: When Meg is given the note in class by Neil saying "I Want You" the letters become much smaller in the second shot as she turns to look at him.
Continuity mistake: When Stewie is thrown from the swing and lands in another little girl's stroller, the inside is suddenly much larger after Stewie lands in it when the camera changes angles to how big it was when he was flying towards it. It suddenly has enough room for Stewie to be lying beside the girl with room to spare while she is still in the center, when it was barely big enough for her alone before he landed.
Other mistake: When Stewie asks if the sheep is being "baashful", the animation of the duck nearest the camera keeps repeating. Watch carefully and you will see 2 bits of grain moving backwards and forwards in a horizontal motion. (00:00:35)

Continuity mistake: At the start we see Peter eating at the table and there is no-one to his left. Camera changes and a man in a red shirt has appeared. (00:01:40)
The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1
Other mistake: During the scene at the rehab clinic when Brian is jogging, Peter asks if he wants to go "mess with the pregnant teens across the lake." Brian says no because "Group therapy, two o'clock." However, the sky looks as if the sun is about to rise or just set. The time cannot be anywhere close to 2:00, neither AM nor PM.
Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington - S3-E3
Factual error: Neither the Lincoln Memorial nor the Washington Monument are visible from the East Front of the Capitol. Furthermore, the Lincoln Memorial is shown as being northeast of the Capitol, when in fact it is due west.
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.
