The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: When Stewie has kidnapped that bully he holds a weapon in front of the bully's face. When Lois comes in he puts it down, but in a full shot of the room it has disappeared. (00:19:30)
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)
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.
Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: When the family is eating dinner and discussing Brian's community service, Stewie's meal goes from breaded chicken to meatloaf in between shots.
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)
Stuck Together, Torn Apart - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: When Peter goes to see his ex-girlfriend, she says she never washed her hand and takes off her right glove to show a black hand. It is like this right up until Peter leaves. She then turns around and the hands have switched colours. (00:10:00)
From Method to Madness - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: In Stewie's first acting class, the chairs all the children are sitting on are blue but after Stewie has done his scene and he is talking to Olivia about her comment, the chairs are orange. (00:06:20 - 00:08:20)
To Live and Die in Dixie - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: When we first see the Bumblescum General Store, there are two guys on the porch; one sweeping and one sitting, but shortly afterwards, the guy sitting is gone, even though there was no time for him to have moved. (00:08:05)
Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: After Pearl dies, Brian rubs her cheek, but in the next shot, his hands (paws) are nowhere near her cheek. (00:20:35)
From Method to Madness - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: When we first see Stewie at drama class, there is a girl with pigtails behind Olivia, but when we next see Olivia, there is a black boy behind her.
Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: When we first see Brian at the Laser Rock Show, he is sitting next to a white shirted guy, but in the next shot, he is next to a blue shirted guy. (00:04:25)
Ready, Willing, and Disabled - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When Peter is complaining to Brian about Joe doing the cereal ad, the position of the remote changes between shots. (00:14:15)
Continuity mistake: Pay attention to the items behind the police auctioneer. In the first couple of shots we see a statue of a knight on a horse to the left of the auctioneer. When the camera cuts to Peter, and then cuts back, the statue is gone. The statue is then back in the next shot. (00:03:20)
The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: At school, when Neil is wearing the shirt that shows him and Meg, himself on the shirt has black hair at first. After Meg yells at him, he has orange hair on the shirt.
Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When Peter goes to Mr. Weed's office for skipping work to go to a baseball game, he has a piece of paper in his right hand. When the shot changes, however, the paper is in his left hand.
Continuity mistake: When Gene Simmons points the microphone at Lois, she is surrounded by people with Kiss make-up on. In the next shot, when she says "Is that it?", she is surrounded by a different group of people, one of whom is not wearing make-up. (00:12:40)
From Method to Madness - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: When the Griffins are dining with the nudists, the leaves on the corn in the middle of the table change colour. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When the guys are all playing cards, Peter has a low amount of blue chips. In all the different shots, Peter goes from having no chips to having a lot. The pile is low in the above shots and high when it is close up on Peter.
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.
