Across whole show

During the opening theme you can see in the background when Lois and Peter are singing on the piano that there is a stereo and three pictures of Stewie, Meg and Chris in the background. However, during episodes the piano is in one room and the stereo and pictures are in the room where they watch TV by the staircase. [Whilst living in my house I've moved different things from one room to another. My computer was in my back room & is now in the front room.]
Edit
In the new season, in the episode where Lois goes to jail for shoplifting, the family is visiting Lois in jail where she is wearing orange prison garb. In the next scene where Peter is helping Lois escape, he puts Lois' head in his mouth with her body hanging outside it. She is now wearing her normal uniform of green top and beige pants. Yes, its a cartoon, but she should still be wearing the orange. [It is possible she put her normal clothes on under the jumpsuit. A prisoner in Houston escaped by having regular clothes under his jumpsuit and taking it off before he walked out.]
Edit
Season 4 "Patriot Games": The family stays shortly in a British apartment, however the plug sockets displayed are US standard, not UK. [There are places around the UK that have US standard plug sockets.]
Edit
In the episode when Bryan goes on The Bachelorette, when Quagmire and Brooke are in the hot tub, Brooke passes out after drinking the champagne that Quagmire put a drug in. You hear the sound of her hitting the ground a moment early, before you see it. [The sound is her falling, not her hitting the ground.]

"Brian Goes Back to College" - Season 4, Episode 18: If you look at the handicapped teacher in the wheelchair, you can see that the keyboard on his wheelchair's arm only has four rows of five buttons, making twenty in all - not enough for every letter of the alphabet. [Maybe there are only twenty or so keys to save space. On many PDA keyboards there are special buttons you can hold (i.e. Ctrl, Alt) that allow you to access another keyboard (maybe there are 2 symbols on each key). A full size keyboard would take up a lot of space on a wheel chair.]
Edit
Catholic baptism does not involve total immersion. (Series 4: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz). [This is a character mistake at best. Peter's father is a bit more extreme than most (after all he has called the Pope "soft") and since he's in a hurry to get Stewie baptized he makes a mistake. Besides a baptizing done by a layperson would usually require that a priest performs a conditional baptizing at a later point, so even if he did it wrong it would still be valid if the intention was to have it redone by a priest later.]

Series 4 episode 13 Jungle Love: Stewie goes to the airport after seeing a bad film; he puts his shoes through the tray and walks through the detector. He keeps walking and doesn't pick up his shoes but moments later on the plane, they are back on. [It's not moments later; you don't board the plane immediately after going through the security checkpoint. Stewie obviously realized that he was missing his shoes and went back to get them, in the time that passed while he was waiting to board the plane.]

In the episode No Chris Left Behind. When Peter has the fight with the chicken in the part where they are on the overpass and the chicken lands on the truck then, the truck is driving away from the overpass but Peter doesn't move in the next shot it shows Peter on the same overpass but the truck the chicken was riding on again drives under the same overpass Peter is on with the chicken on the same truck. [No. The truck does move. Peter runs quickly ahead (faster than the truck) to another overpass, which the truck goes under, and peter jumps off, with the joke being that Peter somehow overtook the truck. It's also not in the episode "No Chris Left Behind", it's in the episode "Da Boom".]

In the episode "No Chris Left Behind," when Peter and Lois are talking about Chris in the kitchen, Peter spots the chicken and then the chicken crashes through the window. After a few shots of fighting, they then both crash through the same window, but the break in the window from the chicken is missing. [That was not the same window. The chicken came in through the back kitchen window but Peter and the Chicken went back out through the front living room window.]
Edit
In the episode "No Chris Left Behind", Peter has three fights with the chicken. Just before the first fight the chicken tells Peter to pick up a coupon notice. In that one shot, you can see the chicken's head shows the man inside, but in any other scene with the chicken, his head is covered. [The chicken is just a chicken, it's not a man in a suit.]
Edit Corrected by Nick Bylsma
In some episodes, the word 'fictitious' in the credits disclaimer is spelled 'ficticious'. [Family Guy doesn't have disclaimers - South Park does.]
Edit Corrected by Jeimi
In the opening titles, as the Griffins are dancing up the stairs, Lois is nowhere near Stewie, but in the next shot, she is holding him. [This is the introduction to the show. It is not supposed to have continuity. Why would a regular family have showgirls and an enormous staircase either?]
Edit Corrected by Gary O'Reilly
In all the scenes where Peter wrecks Cleveland's house and Cleveland is in the bath, the tub always slides easily out of the house with Cleveland in it and onto the ground. There are no pipes or any kind of plumbing visible on the bathroom floor where the tub should have been connected. [Not true. You can see the pipes that would connect to the faucet and drain coming out of the floor next to the toilet.]

Brian: Portrait of a Dog (series 1)

When Brian is putting in his eyedrops, notice his buckle on his collar. In the next shot, we see Brian's reflection in the mirror, but the buckle is not flipped. [It does flip if you look carefully.]

The Son Also Draws (series 1)

When the Fonz appears to Peter in a spiritual vision, Peter asks him if he has ever gotten any sexual diseases since he has been with so many women. The Fonz replies: "Herpes twice. And the clap." There is no cure for herpes so you can only get it once and keep it. [(a) There is more than one type of herpes. (b) Fonz is an idiot, and could easily believe that when his herpes went into remission he was 'cured', only to believe himself reinfected when he had another outbreak.]
Edit
When The Griffins leave to New York in their car the order in the back is Chris, Stewie then Meg, but in the next shot it's Meg, Stewie then Chris. [Some time has passed between those two shots since they are now in the countryside. Therefore we don't know if the family stopped for a toilet break or something where they would have changed place.]

A Hero Sits Next Door (series 1)

When Everyone is at Joe's House he is working at the BBQ and he flips a burger over onto his hand (or a bun but I'm not sure) Then just before the camera shoots over to Peter the burger in Joe's hand disappears into thin air. [When Joe puts the burger in his hand he flips it up to his right. In normal speed you can see he flips it over his shoulder, but because of the very fast transition to Peter it makes it look that the burger has disappeared into thin air.]
Edit

Mind over Murder (series 1)

When Peter builds the bar downstairs, and Lois sings for the first time the wall that lines the stairs is solid. When she has a stage and curtain backdrop, suddenly there is a door where Stewie is in the jolly jumper. [This door could have been added when the stage was built. There is no time frame given from the building of the bar to this point.]
Edit
When Stewie's chatting up 'Misti', the equation he writes on his napkin changes between shots. [The equation ( 1 1/2a 3=1/8 )stays the same throughout.]
Edit Corrected by Starchild Time

Chitty Chitty Death Bang (series 1)

When Lois has the flashback of her making Meg's cake, things continuously move or disappear in between shots. [First, this is far too vague. What "things" are moving or disappearing? Second, it's a narrative flashback - Lois's impression of what happened. The normal rules don't apply.]
