Family Guy Viewer Mail #1 - S3-E21
Corrected entry: In the genie part, when Peter wishes he had no bones he is still talking, but if he wished for no bones he wouldn't have a skull to talk.
logan crewsStewie, Chris & Brian's Excellent Adventure - S13-E7
Corrected entry: When the Titanic hits the iceberg you can see damage well above the waterline. As most people already know, the damage was well bellow the waterline which is why it sank. (00:15:30)
DrLoomis1978Correction: The phrase "tip of the iceberg" exists for a reason. Yes there's damage above the waterline too, but the critical damage was below it, that's just not shown onscreen.
Jon Sandys
Also, the actual Titanic suffered damage above the water line, making the scene very accurate.
SsiscoolOcean's Three and a Half - S7-E7
Corrected entry: When Lois asks Brian where Peter is, he tells her that Peter, Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland went to rob her dad. There's no way Brian would have known this as he wasn't in the room when they were discussing the plan.
Correction: So much time passes that Brian had plenty of time and ways to find out. Peter could have even told Brian he's leaving to go rob his father-in-law since we don't see them leaving.
Bishop73Corrected entry: In some episodes, the word 'fictitious' in the credits disclaimer at the end is spelled 'ficticious'.
BlibbetyblipStewie Goes for a Drive - S10-E4
Corrected entry: As it starts to rain, Stewie gets stabbed by a random stranger. Later on the bus, and when he gets off, there's no evidence of the stabbing.
Movie NutCorrection: This was done as a joke and a call back to an earlier joke where Stewie says "at least it's not raining" and then gets stabbed. The effects aren't permanent, just like all the times Peter's been mortally wounded only to appear normal in the next scene.
Bishop73And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1
Corrected entry: When Diane Simmons is shot by an anonymous gunman, she is on the ground. However, when the gunman is revealed to be Stewie, he is on the roof and the position of the gun he used is completely horizontal, putting the gun in an impossible position to shoot Diane. (00:47:30 - 00:48:20)
Casual PersonCorrection: We never see Stewie shoot the gun. And the shot of Stewie's horizontal gun was after Diane was shot and fell off the cliff. Plenty of time for Stewie to set the butt of the gun back down into the horizontal position.
Bishop73Corrected entry: When Peter first has a piano in his bar, it's an upright model commonly seen in bars. The next night, it's a full sized Grand Piano. Given the width of the stairs, the size of the doorways, it seems unlikely to have been put down there without a considerable amount of effort.
Movie NutCorrection: The whole area was transformed, a stage, extra lighting, etc. So, yes, a considerable amount of effort was done. Lois was excited to perform and conceivably hired a bunch of professionals to fix the area up (who are more than capable of bringing a piano down stairs and setting it up).
Corrected entry: In this episode, Lois is a model. Throughout the whole series, she has short hair but in this one, she has it up in a ponytail. Her hair isn't long enough for the hairstyle shown at the party.
amycamille1975Correction: She could have been wearing hair extensions.
MasterOfAllCorrected entry: When Chris says goodbye when Lois and Peter are getting on the boat, the sea in the background 'jolts'. (00:02:20)
Correction: The sea never jolts, it just drifts normally, like any part of the sea would.
Casual PersonCorrected entry: During the chicken fight, one of the clones blows one of the cloning machines up. However, seconds later, they are both intact. (00:04:45)
Correction: It was only the interior of the machine that got blown up after one of the Peter clones threw one of the chicken clones into the machine, whilst the exterior of the machine remained fine. In fact, it can be noticed that the broken glass is shown from when one of the Peter clones threw one of the chicken clones into the machine just as the explosion that destroys the facility occurs.
Casual PersonRoad to the North Pole - S9-E7
Corrected entry: At the end of the episode, as the camera zooms away from the house, Santa, his sleigh and reindeer are sitting on top of the house the entire time. However, he flies in from the right of the screen and towards the viewer.
Correction: Santa was never on top of the house, that was just the Griffins' Christmas decorations of Santa and the reindeer on their roof.
Casual PersonCorrected entry: When KISS is shown on stage, Paul (The singer, also known as Starchild) has the star over his left eye. Paul always has the star over his right eye. Watch any video of KISS in makeup.
SsiscoolCorrection: Paul's star is always on his right eye. It may just look like it is wrong since it's on the left side of the screen, but because he's facing forward, that his his right side. You can see when he and Gene turn their back in disgust that the Star is on the right hand side (since now the viewer and he are "facing" the same way).
Corrected entry: The upstairs in Peter's house has slanted walls, but everyone's bedrooms have straight walls.
amycamille1975Correction: Walls are several inches thick (or more) because there is space for the structural supports of the house inside them, also room for wiring, plumbing, insulation, etc. Just because a wall is slanted on one side does not mean it can't be straight on the other.
PhixiusRoad to the Multiverse - S8-E1
Corrected entry: When Brian and Stewie are in the universe without religion, Brian asks what happened to the art of the Renaissance and they go to the Sistine Chapel to see that John Hinkley decorated the ceiling. Why is there a Sistine Chapel in a world with no religion?
Captain DefenestratorCorrection: It's not a world with no religion whatsoever; Stewie simply described it in a world without Christianity. The Sistine Chapel could still exist, but not necessarily as a building with any religious significance, or possibly representing a different faith.
zendaddy621Corrected entry: When the family are at the school play, Brian suggests that it's possibly too soon for a musical about the tragic story of Terri Schaivo, implying that it's the first time the play has been done. However, Stewie (who is playing an electrical plug) meets Jared, who has been the plug every year for three years.
Purple_GirlCorrection: It's highly unlikely Brian keeps track of what play the young elementary students are putting on. This is Stewie's first year of involvement and therefore Brian's first year of awareness. He's making the observation for the first time because he just found out about the play for the first time.
PhixiusCorrected entry: In the scene where Brian and Lois are talking in the bedroom, you can see that they both sleep in two separate beds. However, in a different scene when Lois is riding on top of Peter in the bedroom, you can see there is only one double bed inside the room.
Correction: While married, Lois and Brian sleep in separate beds, which were specifically acquired for the purpose. When Lois is married to Peter, they share a bed. There's no telling how much time passes between shots and it's not that hard to move some furniture around.
PhixiusBarely Legal - S5-E8
Corrected entry: In the scene when Brian and Stewie are fighting over saying "Cool Whip", Stewie spits out hair, however if you look Stewie actually never took a bite out of the pie.
Correction: He most certainly did take a bite. Less than a second after Stewie spread a bit of Cool Whip on his piece of pie, he very quickly scoops out a piece and eats it.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Peter gets Chris a bullfrog you see him walk through the door on the right but when Peter tries to get the bullfrog out the window the door is replaced by the window.
Correction: The door does not move, we are just viewing the scene from a different angle.
MasterOfAllDeath Lives - S3-E6
Corrected entry: When Peter is in the van with Cleveland, Cleveland's voice is slow and how it normally is, except it shouldn't be. In another episode, Peter recounted that Cleveland was an auctioneer and was hit with an antique which made his voice slow.
curiouskidCorrection: Being a caller at an auction is a skill that needs to be learned. Since Cleveland originally spoke slowly, it's more likely that he began to speak faster once trained as an auctioneer, but the antique hitting him made him revert to his normal slow speaking voice.
rswarriorCorrected entry: As Lois sprays the Oval Office with machine-gun fire, she hits all the Presidential portraits with bullets, but fixates on George W. Bush's, shredding it to pieces. A few scenes later, the GWB portrait is shown with just a few holes in it, hardly shredded.
Correction: As stated at the end of the episode it was only a simulation almost like a dream. Due to the programming of the simulation there could have been a flaw that caused the picture to fix itself.
