Continuity mistake: When Stewie is in his room talking to Rupert and himself out loud about Janet we see that Rupert is on the left side of Stewie's pillow. When the camera pans over to Brian who overhears Stewie's musings, after Brian makes fun of Stewie the camera pans back and Rupert is gone. There is also a quick tete-a-tete on the color of Janet's eyes and the final shot is on Stewie and his crib and yet no Rupert to be found. (00:07:20)

Continuity mistake: When Peter is throwing the disks and then shooting them, you see the door is closed. In the next shot it is open and you can see the inside of the house. Then in the next shot, it is open again. (00:16:10)
Continuity mistake: When Meg is waiting for Lois outside the hooters, she has a watch on her wrist. When she is talking with Lois, it just disappears after a couple of shots and we don't see it again. (00:11:10)
Continuity mistake: When Brian says "You can't just ignore these years", the front cover of his magazine is different from how it was in previous shots. (00:14:55)
A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: When Joe is pretending to have broken his legs, Quagmire is holding Joe's wheelchair with both hands, but in the next shot, he is only holding it with one hand as he has a beer in the other hand. (00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: When Peter is improvising in the bank, the bag of money disappears in one shot. (00:17:30)

From Method to Madness - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: When we first see the sign outside the Quahog institute of performing arts, it has a cartoon take on the comedy and tragedy masks in the corners. In the left hand corner is a black mask with big ears and a smile and on the right is a white mask with a frown. Later on, the black mask has the frown and the white mask has the big ears and smile and the 3rd time you see the sign it has changed back again.

To Live and Die in Dixie - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: When Peter and Brian are escaping from the locals in their car, they go over a ridge. They freeze in midair and a voice says "those Griffin boys..." and the screen goes black. Then, in the next shot, the whole landscape is different. Even though the angle of the shot is different, that doesn't account for the disappearance of Chris and Sam or the colour-change of the sky. (00:14:40)
Continuity mistake: When Peter and Lois kiss and make up at the end, Tricia and the press run up to them. As they arrive there is no-one behind Tricia, but in the next shot there are three people behind her. (00:21:15)
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.
