Family Guy

A Fish Out of Water - S3-E10

Factual error: When Meg and Lois are in the back of a police car they escape by opening the back doors and getting away. The rear doors of a police car can only open from the outside, for obvious reasons and this escape could not be possible.

Ocean's Three and a Half - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: Before Dr. Hartman delivers Bonnie's baby, he removes a small wheelchair and places it on a cabinet next to him. After delivering the baby, he makes a funny remark about Paula Poundstone, and then he hands the baby to Bonnie. Notice that the wheelchair and the cabinet are no longer present.

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: Just after the guests have found Muriel, there is a shot from outside the manor where we can see Quagmire's car at the back of the rest of the cars. But in the next overview shot of the manor, Quagmire's car is now in front of a red car. (00:29:30)

Back to the Pilot - S10-E5

Character mistake: After Stewie and Brian go to tell the past versions of themselves not to tell 1999 Brian about 9/11, Stewie then finds out that Brian then told 1999 Brian to write the Harry Potter novels. This would have been impossible because the first Harry Potter novel was published in 1997, 2 years before the time period Stewie and Brian arrive in. (00:16:35)

Fecal Matters - S19-E10

Continuity mistake: When Meg, as X-Men's Quicksilver, starts to spite her whole family at the speed of light at the beginning of the episode - just after Chris sneezed in front of everybody - she initially throws his hat away from him, but in the next shot when she gets back on her seat, Chris' hat returns resting to his head.

Space Cadet - S11-E9

Revealing mistake: When Chris is giving them a tour of the shuttle, they are standing up normal. When they take off, they are still standing straight up. The shuttle goes straight up. You would be on your back at take off. They would never be able to stand straight up.

Continuity mistake: At the adult education centre we see an establishing shot showing the building and that it is night time. When we see the classroom there is beautiful sunshine beaming in through the window. (00:04:20)

Death Lives - S3-E6

Other mistake: When Peter is dumped into the sea, a ship appears on the right hand side of the screen. However, the ship just appears randomly, it doesn't sail in to the shot, one frame its open water and the next frame it's there. (00:10:20)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: While everyone is in the secret room Peter finds a blue book on the desk and picks it up to read. Peter's holding this book in his hands when he asks Consuela what happened, and just as Consuela tells him about her nephew, we see another blue book on the desk beside Peter. There should be only one blue book - the one in Peter's hands. (00:20:40)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: The interior layout of the dining room is visible in many shots, specifically the wall and windows behind the arm chair at the head of the table. After Stephanie is murdered, when Mort shouts to run for their lives, the crowd exits the dining room and they turn right, then everyone runs for the double front doors, opposite the staircase. This means the windows behind the arm chair at the head of the table are at the back of the house, but later when they capture Tom behind that chair, the shot moves backwards through the window and it's now at the front of the house, beside the double front doors. (00:10:50 - 00:37:30)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When Muriel disappears after she's been accused, everybody rushes back up the secret passageway stairs to find her, and in the first shot facing the group there's a large green desk pad on the desk, but in the next shot that desk pad has vanished (and it reappears when they split into groups). (00:21:55)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When Joe concludes that Stephanie was in the wrong place at the wrong time, the dining room table is still set with plates, wine glasses, etc, but then Joe tells everyone to look around for more clues, and in the next overhead shot as they all exit the dining room the table is bare. (00:15:55)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lois and Peter pack their suitcases and leave the room, as Lois walks down the hall she stops at Diane's open door. In this first shot from the hall there are double doors and a blank wall opposite Diane's open door, but in the next shot from inside Diane's room there's a painting hanging on the wall opposite her door.

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein - S3-E22

Peter Griffin: You better watch who you're calling a child Lois. Because if I'm a child then you know what that makes you? A paedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert.

Trivia: A Quahog is another name for a clam, thus all the jokes and places in town (like the drunken clam bar) the show makes reference about.

Answer: Mort is Jewish, and Walt Disney was said to be antisemitic. So it would make sense in a Disney universe all the inhabitants would share his supposed beliefs.
