Trivia:

The Nominees for Best original Score in a Porno Film are Ron Jones, Walter Murphy, and John Williams. The first two are music conductors on Family guy. Walter Murphy created the Main Title Music and both did episode music. John Williams is a reference to film score composer John Williams who is known for always being nominated, if not winning the major awards for composing film scores.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the episode "Brian does Hollywood", as Lois, Peter, and Stewie wait for the "Kids Say..." auditions, Peter's clothes change from a blue suit, to a grey suit, and then to his normal clothing.

Quotes:

Stewie Griffin:Easy! Massage the scalp. You're washing a baby's hair, not scrubbing vomit off your Christmas dress, you holiday drunk.

Good Episode, Incredibly Stupid and Offensive Joke

This is a good episode, Brian directing porn is a great premise and all in all it's pretty funny. The joke about Sharon Tate is absolutely shameful however and should never have been written, produced, televised or released on DVD.

There are a couple of stupid, offensive jokes in season 3 - the one about Jonbenet Ramsey is also woeful - but this joke almost ruins the entire season, even the entire series for me. Doesn't Seth Macfarlane have a conscience? Doesn't he monitor the writing in his own show? That joke should never have made it out of the writing room. Family Guy has always been inconsistent but jokes like this don't sit with the style, wit and humour the show is loved for.
