[edit] Sources

Title and prod. code given at [1]. Expected air date comes from List of Family Guy episodes, presumably by counting enough Sundays from the advertised season premiere. Expected plot content from an ad on FOX in which Peter Griffin promises a new TV station with all the swear words intact, and then some FCC agents bust into his house and say PTV is getting shut down. (UTC)

[edit] template

Is there a template that says "This article is about an episode that has not yet aired but is expected to air in the near future." ? ShutterBugTrekker 23:09, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Strange updates

What's with adding ##### to the pages? I'm reverting even though it also removes some other lines, as I don't trust updates from someone that looks like they're trying to do subtle vandalism. If you'd like to say why you're doing it, feel free. Alanhwiki 04:36, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Osama Bin Laden Scene

I removed the section which claimed that the opening scene with Osama Bin Laden was produced using actual studio bloopers. If any reference to this can be found then by all means put it back in, but to be honest it sounds completely false, especially when you consider that Bin Laden's bloopers include mentions of a guy bringing a sick note to escape a suicide bombing. Somehow it doesn't seem plausible that Seth MacFarlane would make this comment when not in-character. Csymeonides 09:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opening Scenes

The scenes with Stewie at the beginning are listed twice in this article - in the beginning of the summary and in the "cultural references". Should we take out one of these? This obviously shouldn't be listed twice. --S-man 07:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead and do it yourself - be bold! Nuge talk 19:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

This page gets Vandilized so many times, its not even funny. I was the one to originally expand this article. Two people keep switching from splitting the article into 3 Acts to without the 3 acts. Some else also keeps adding terms such as team rocket and a character subsiding in Tokyo Japan. It makes no sense and it has to stop! Coolguy1368 15:31 30 July 2006

Random kids cartoon character's names keep appearing throughout the article for not reason and are hidden in sentence. This article should be locked and fixed asap.

I agree. Someone with the power to, lock it! Lord Sephiroth22:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Same. I just removed an error stating "many people think second half season 4 is season 5." at the very end of the article. I mean, honestly! Bonekhan 03:56, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistakes...

When Officer Reeses reaches to get the chocolate, he reaches to the guy with the peanut butter, not the guy with the chocolate.--Finest1 22:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

If you freeze frame and look very carefully you can see a chocolate bar sticking out of the peanut butter jar, so this is not actually a mistake. Matteboy2001 22:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

A False mistake is Brian on his knees, if you watch carefully he gets down onto his knees before the camera change.75.82.207.192 04:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup?

Maybe someone can do this, but "Douchebags" and how its only on the DVD is mentioned 3 or 4 times throughout the article, for pretty much the same reason every time. Someone might clean this up, maybe? A Jorb Well Done 07:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cultural refrences

apart from reverting the hideous vandalism, I tried to concentrate all the cultural refrences in one section. also I deleted the part about the devil horns (in the ozzy section) as:
1. It is not a refrence itself, but serves as a background to a rock concert. and
2. A link to it, and the remark that is drawn wrong is hardly relevant. (true as it may be)

also, about the "naked" girl in the bottom left corner of the ozzy concert. if it was done on purpose, a citation is needed, otherwise it's hardly considered a goof, as it looks more like she is wearing a strapless shirt, than is actually naked. anyway, it's deleted for now.

[edit] small question

Whats the deal with the scrambled/fried eggs?

I don't have the episode with subtitles, and I might just don't get the joke, but it sounds more like a goof than a refrence to me.

[edit] TV's Funniest Moments

I just got done watching a show on FOX called "TV's Funniest Moments", and apparently, it was organized by a certain "Museum of Television and Radio", or something like that. Anyway, the song that Peter, Brian, and Stewie sing was labeled as the second funniest moment on television. Should this be included?Leprechaun Gamer 02:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This talk page is in mess.

I mean it, I see comments from 2005 in middle of this page. And some from 2006 comes below some comments from 2007. Someone should fix that. 13:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I cleaned it up. -- TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 22:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opening tricycle sequence`1

I thought that it was a reference to Bobby's World? Socby19 (talk) 23:10, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naked Gun references

Should it be noted that the opening sequence, which the article states to be a reference to the Naked Gun films, is ultimately a reference to the titles of the TV series Police Squad! on which the films are based? -- Pennyforth (talk) 13:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meg's first grade play.

In my opinion, Meg's first grade play is a reference to the movie The butterfly effect, where there is a similar scene with Robin Hood and his princess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.87.106.85 (talk) 15:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately you have to provide more than just your opinion to get this to be included in the article. See also: WP:OR TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 22:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Why don't we let him give us chapter number or timecode for The Butterfly Effect? Something along the lines of "Chapter 12" or "time index 47:42" ShutterBugTrekker (talk) 23:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I like the idea, but I'm afraid that's not enough. Because you see Wikipedia needs reliable sources. This is not a place for consequences. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 00:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
