She is also wearing dark red lipstick instead of none at all.
Brian Does Hollywood (2) - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: As Peter and Lois take Stewie to the hotel, as we first see Peter, he has on a blue suit. The next scene we see him, he has on a black suit. Then, as they get called in the room, he has his usual on: green pants and a white shirt. (00:06:05)
Continuity mistake: When Peter is calling for people to fight Lois, he is standing next to a sign that says "Fight the ass kicking housewife" and has metal rings at the top. When it moves to a closer shot, a hyphen has appeared between "ass" and "kicking". Then, after the space where the commercial break would have been, the sign now says "$10.00" and there are no metal rings. Finally, in the next shot, the sign says "Fight the..." and has metal rings on top. (00:06:55)
A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: When Peter is driving, Quagmire is sitting beside him and Cleveland and Joe are in the back seat. Joe has brown hair and he's wearing a gray knit hat and a light coat with a gray fur collar. When Quagmire is sticking his body out of the car door and yelling "Whooooooa! Whoooooooa!", look at "Joe" in the back seat. Joe doesn't look like Joe in this shot. He's wearing a Santa hat and a brown coat just like Quagmire's, and a bit of his hair is also black like Quagmire's, instead of brown. (00:05:30)

To Live and Die in Dixie - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: When Lois is on the phone to the FBI agent, the phone switches from being an old fashioned circular dial phone, to being a keypad phone. (00:16:45)
Continuity mistake: At the bottom of the stairs there is a picture of Peter and Lois, and the song "So Long, Farwell" starts. The kids start singing and you can see in the backround the picture is gone then comes back when the kids are going back up the stairs. Not only that, look closely at the picture of Stewie, you will see it has grown. (00:04:20)
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.
Continuity mistake: When Peter is pretending to be a man-eating tree, there is more of a shadow on the tree in the first shot than in the shot right after he spits out 'Dan Rather'. (00:05:50)

Continuity mistake: Just before Peter enters the tunnel in his new car, the white line in the middle of the road is blotchy and not continuous.

One If By Clam, Two If By Sea - S3-E4
Other mistake: After the hurricane passes, Peter acts like he's been impaled by a wooden plank. He pulls it out as if it was attached to his right side. However, the way the metal on the clasp was bent, the only way the wooden plank could've been positioned that way is if the metal was over his shoulder.
The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Brian is saying that his family has it all wrong about his drugs, Lois is holding Stewie. In the very next shot of his family from the front, Stewie is standing on the ground, without any time for him to climb down. (00:15:10)
