Continuity mistake: Lois is wearing a green dress when peter is looking at her from the stage, but she's wearing a blue dress throughout the scene.
Continuity mistake: After the "Lint" scene, Meg's glasses disappear.
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.
