Airport '07 - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When we first see Peter lounging on the front lawn with his feet in the baby pool, there is water that has spilled out of the pool onto the lawn, but in the next shot, the spilled water is gone. (00:02:15)

Boys Do Cry - S5-E15

Factual error: When Brian fires his pistol in the air, eventually killing the Super Devil, we hear six gunshots, each followed the distinct clink of the ejected cartridge hitting the ground. Trouble is, Brian is firing a revolver, which does not eject the cartridge after the bullet is fired. Only automatics do that.

Airport '07 - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Peter is backing up and sees the airplane fuel there is a tank near the ladder and the hose is hooked up to it but when Peter walks up to it to plug it into the truck the tanker is way farther away.

Meet The Quagmires - S5-E18

Other mistake: Peter goes back in time and sees Lois at age 18. Death says everyone will see Peter as being 18 too. Problem: Lois and Peter aren't the same age. In later episodes, Lois reveals she's 2 years older than Peter so Peter should be 16 when he meets Lois.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: When Peter, Quagmire and Cleveland become cops because Joe trains them and they are all at Peter's, Joe has binoculars and is looking across the street and saying he is watching his wife Bonnie in her house. In just about every episode it is stated that Joe and Bonnie's house is right next to Peter's. So why is he looking across the street when their house is next to Peter's?

Stewie Loves Lois - S5-E1

Audio problem: When Peter is telling the guys about the doctor visit, he starts crying and knocks his beer glass off the table. It makes the sound of glass shattering, but the glass on the floor isn't broken at all.

Lois: Hello?
Peter: I can't take the trash out today, I'm working late at the office.
Lois: The caller ID says you're calling from the kitchen. In fact I can see you.
Peter: [Edging sideways.] OK, can you see me now?
Lois: No.
Peter: Now I am at the office.

Business Guy - S8-E9

Question: In the episode, Peter threatens to fire Lois, and she responds with "you wouldn't" and Peter then replies with "Oh really, does the name Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?" which in turn makes Lois go wide eyed and reply with "OK, I'll behave" and Peter then goes on to add "Yes you will" Can anyone explain this joke if it is a joke to comprehend?

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.
