Family Guy Viewer Mail #1 - S3-E21
Corrected entry: In the genie part, when Peter wishes he had no bones he is still talking, but if he wished for no bones he wouldn't have a skull to talk.
Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother? - S3-E14
Corrected entry: The end credits for this episode feature Peter rapping the lyrics to the theme tune.
Correction: Kind of obvious - not really trivia.
Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington - S3-E3
Corrected entry: There's a weird character between Chris and Meg at breakfast and a high chair without Stewie. In the next few cuts we see Stewie magically in his high chair. (00:10:20)
Corrected entry: Stewie's rendition of Rocket Man is very similar to William Shatner's version at the 1978 Science Fiction Film Awards.
Correction: So similar in fact, that it is the whole reason they had Stewie doing it in the first place. The sequence is a spoof of William Shatner's performance. Pointing out jokes in the show cannot be classed as trivia.
Death Lives - S3-E6
Corrected entry: When Peter is in the van with Cleveland, Cleveland's voice is slow and how it normally is, except it shouldn't be. In another episode, Peter recounted that Cleveland was an auctioneer and was hit with an antique which made his voice slow.
Correction: Being a caller at an auction is a skill that needs to be learned. Since Cleveland originally spoke slowly, it's more likely that he began to speak faster once trained as an auctioneer, but the antique hitting him made him revert to his normal slow speaking voice.
Death Lives - S3-E6
Corrected entry: In the flashback scene where Peter meets Lois' father, Peter openly farts in anxiety. However, it was discovered in the previous season, when Peter gets his breast examined, that Peter had gas for the first time when he was 30. In this season, it is noted that Peter and Lois have been married for 17 years, and that Peter is 42. That would make Peter at most 25 when he first meets his father-in-law to be, 5 years before he first experienced passing gas.
Correction: It's doubtful that Peter really farted for the first time at age 30. He makes a lot of immature jokes and was probably kidding about this. If you took this seriously, you'd have to take a lot of the other outrageous things in the show seriously, too.
Corrected entry: When KISS is shown on stage, Paul (The singer, also known as Starchild) has the star over his left eye. Paul always has the star over his right eye. Watch any video of KISS in makeup.
Correction: Paul's star is always on his right eye. It may just look like it is wrong since it's on the left side of the screen, but because he's facing forward, that his his right side. You can see when he and Gene turn their back in disgust that the Star is on the right hand side (since now the viewer and he are "facing" the same way).
Corrected entry: Lois refers to Gene Simmons by the name Chaim Witz, and they both say they knew each other and had sex together before Gene became famous. But the name "Chaim Witz" was the name Gene used in Israel as a child. According to his autobiography, when he came to New York as an eight-year-old, his name was changed to Gene Klein, and he never used the name "Chaim" in the US. Lois could not have known him when he went by the name Chaim Witz, and could certainly not have had sex with him at the time.
Correction: He couldn't have told her his birth name? Perhaps she preferred it to Gene Klein, or was showing off her detailed knowledge of Simmons early life.
Stuck Together, Torn Apart - S3-E19
Corrected entry: In this episode, Peter goes on a date with Jennifer Love Hewitt, but on some copies of the the DVD case, it says he goes on a date with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Correction: This is a mistake on the DVD cover, and is not a movie mistake.
To Live and Die in Dixie - S3-E12
Corrected entry: A mistake in the subtitles: As Stewie yells, 'I've got blisters on me fingers.' after singing 'My big old fat ass baby', the subtitles read: "Imitates John Lennon." It is widely argued, but McCartney and Starr claim that it was Starr who said that, after a particularly vigorous rehearsal for Beatles song, 'Helter Skelter'.
Correction: You've missed the point of Stewie's actions - he is imitating John Lennon (whose voice is completely different to Ringo's) regardless of who said the line in real life.
Brian Does Hollywood (2) - S3-E2
Corrected entry: In the action scene at the beginning, Stewie is shooting a helicopter and it blows up, making Stewie fall through a glass-top building. We see him fall through from the inside of the building, but the helicopter is nowhere in sight.
Correction: Fairly obvious that this scene is happening in Stewie's imagination. The rules don't apply.
Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother? - S3-E14
Corrected entry: When Brian is reading the diary of Nate Griffin, there is an entry about a new colt that farted on him while he was grooming. The entry refers to the colt as 'she' many times. A colt is a young male horse - they should use the term 'filly'.
Correction: We can assume that since Nate is Peter's relative, that they are both complete idiots and he would not know the difference, which is why it is written this way deliberately. Besides, this is a character's mistake, not the show's mistake.
The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8
Corrected entry: When Peter pretends to play the keyboard in the toy store, a man takes exception to it. When the Griffins are back in the parking lot, the man has spray painted the word "Phony" on their station wagon. The man just met Peter two minutes earlier, how would he know which vehicle to spray paint? (00:01:20 - 00:02:15)
Correction: If you watch the very first episode (I Never Met the Dead Man) you can see the phony guy, working on a new toy at the toy factory, where Peter also works. So they probably know each other from work.
Death Lives - S3-E6
Corrected entry: In a flashback scene with Quagmire urging Peter to get some shore leave, Quagmire is actually seen naked from the waist down, but he has no 'equipment' of any kind. He's genderless. (00:14:25)
Correction: Actually, his left leg is slightly ahead of his right, which is just enough (by cartoon standards) to censor out naughty bits.
Corrected entry: Chris loses his trademark earring in this series, except in the title scene and in photos or anything that has been in previous series.
Correction: This is not true. In the episode Lethal Weapons (On Disc 1 of the Season 3 DVD Set), as the family is in the car on the way to church, Chris' earring is visible.
The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1
Corrected entry: Joe's legs are supposed to be paralyzed due to an accident. However, when he and Brian are fighting the midgets in the Sunday School for drug trafficking, he manages to kick one of them.
Correction: He actually spins the wheelchair around, and his leg swings out, kicking the midget.
Corrected entry: If Stewie was mutated because Lois smoked pot when she was pregnant with him, then why was Stewie's potential brother as smart as him?
The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1
Corrected entry: When Peter catches up to Brian in the golf cart at the rehab facility, Brian is seen wearing a track suit with a headband and holding hand weights. Peter convinces him to go mess with the pregnant teens across the lake and in the row boat over Brian is still wearing the tracksuit and headband. However, when we see them enter a room where the pregnant teens are he has obviously taken off the tracksuit and headband and is just seen wearing his dog collar.
The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1
Corrected entry: In the scene where Brian and Joe bust the "Sunday school drug ring," the two get in a brawl with a group of drug-running midgets. Joe throws his nightstick at one drug-runner, punches a second, but kicks the third drug-runner, despite the fact that Joe is a paraplegic.
Correction: Already submitted and corrected. He swings his chair around so violently his legs come flying up due to the centrifugal force. He doesn't move them himself.
Stuck Together, Torn Apart - S3-E19
Corrected entry: This episode explains that Stewie's head became that weird shape from banging it on the roof. But in earlier episodes showing his birth, his head has always been that shape.
Correction: It's a cutaway scene. Most of these did not happen in the Family Guy "world" but meant as jokes for the story.
Correction: That's the whole point. It wasn't supposed to be realistic or logical.
