Continuity mistake: Just after Patrick 'kisses' his imaginary girlfriend goodbye and tells Brian to look after her, Brian switches position on the couch. In the first shot he is sitting on a crack between couch pillows, but in the next shot he is sitting in the middle of the centre pillow. (00:13:50)

Continuity mistake: When Peter goes back in time the first time, we see him and Cleveland slapping hands around the pool, we see that the pool is significantly shorter than in the scene where we first see Lois.
Continuity mistake: At the bottom of the stairs there is a picture of Peter and Lois, and the song "So Long, Farwell" starts.

Continuity mistake: When the family is in the traffic jam there's a shot from the front of the car, and in the next shot from the backseat of the car, Peter's face (glasses and part of nose) is reflected in the rear view mirror. However, there's no rear view mirror in the first front shot or shots following backseat shot.
Other mistake: The 'KISS' logo above Kiss's stage isn't actually held up by anything.

Continuity mistake: The position of the hole on the leg of Meg's pants changes. In the scene where Meg is putting the mouse traps around Joe, the hole is on the right side.

This happens again throughout the episode. (00:10:55 - 00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: When Stewie is golfing and spots Brian in disguise, Stewie has a putter. When Stewie realizes that it is Brian and goes after him he is holding a chipper.
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.
