Continuity mistake: When Stewie jumps off the side of the hot air balloon, he has no rope attached to his ankle. Next shot they show him hanging from the hot air balloon from a rope tied to his ankle.
Continuity mistake: At the Founding Father Restaurant, Stewie is drawing on a treasure map in red crayon and Peter takes it. In the next scene, where Peter shows the map to Quagmire and Joe at the Clam, the red crayon mark is no longer there.
Continuity mistake: In the episode "FOX-y Lady" (7-10) it was established that Quagmire was 61 years old. In this episode, Quagmire stated to Meg he was bullied in 1986 and a flashback shows that he was a teenager. So how could Quagmire have been bullied in 1986 as a teenager if he should have been in his 30's at this time? (00:12:15)
Continuity mistake: In episode 6, right before Brian's death when Stewie decides to go back inside the house to get his knee pads, he stops right before he enters the house. In this episode, when the same sequence is displayed along with Stewie (from the future) returning to that time, his former self never stops before entering the building. (00:18:40)
Continuity mistake: Peter's boss tells him to put on his helmet. He reaches behind him and out of nowhere, a red helmet appears in his hand.

Continuity mistake: At the Clam, when Peter mentions it was smart to wait out the thunderstorm, it is the middle of the day, but when Peter runs out of the Clam to go find Stewie, about 45 seconds later, it is suddenly sunset. (00:03:50 - 00:04:35)
Continuity mistake: When Joe, Peter, and Quagmire are sitting at the table in the bar, Joe takes off his sock and shoe to show them his foot. Cleveland comes in and Joe puts his leg back down and instantly has his sock and shoe back on.
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.
