Other mistake: The guys all go water skiing, towing the boat behind Peter's car. After Quagmire gets his penis bitten off the scene cuts to the hospital parking lot. Quagmire's car is parked next to Peter's. There would be no reason to go home and get his car instead of going directly to the hospital. (00:07:15)
Plot hole: When Stewie and Brian are at the diner Stewie says he negotiated a deal with the mob by telling them he convinced Mort to give him his flash drive with the info to put the mobsters in prison. When they actually meet, Stewie tells the mob guys the flash drive is "his" and that he bought the coverage. Then he says his address is on the drive so they can mail it back to him. The mob guys didn't realise Stewie lied about whose flash drive it really was. (00:15:40 - 00:19:00)
Don't Be a Dickens at Christmas - S16-E9
Continuity mistake: Peter gets Lois a lawn chair. It vanishes from sight when Peter gives Meg her radio.
Crimes and Meg's Demeanor - S16-E8
Continuity mistake: Peter and Meg are in a Greek week. There is a stair close to the front door while we see Peter's drinking. In the next shot, when Peter and Meg are leaving, the stairs disappear.
Other mistake: When Stewie and Brian are riding on the train, Stewie tells Brian, "It's nice that the locals act as their own train crossings." They are seated on the left side of the train and looking out their window at this time. As the train passes, we can see the only person standing there is on the right side of the train. Neither Stewie or Brian could have seen him from the direction they were looking. (00:14:10)
'Family Guy' Through the Years - S16-E16
Factual error: When the guys enter the disco in the 1973 segment, "A Fifth of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy is heard playing; that song was recorded and released in 1976.
'Family Guy' Through the Years - S16-E16
Factual error: In the scene at the Disco, Peter and Quagmire both transpose "Viet Cong" but with "Donkey Kong." However, the segment is supposed to be taking place in 1973, meanwhile "Donkey Kong" wasn't released until 1981.
Crimes and Meg's Demeanor - S16-E8
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of this episode Peter is talking to Meg about her senior year in high school. This makes no sense considering she turned 18 in season 10, which was released in 2012.
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.
