Trivia:

A gag was animated that involved "The Newlywed Game", featuring the biblical figures Mary and Joseph (the human parents of Jesus Christ). Bob Eubanks actually came in and did the voice of his character for the gag, but quickly pulled out after realizing the nature of the joke (he had just finished work on a "Christian Workout Video").

Goofs:

Continuity: In "Little Griffins" when Peter and Quagmire are approaching Lois in the school playground, the shot changes from a high-angle to a medium, and Peter and Quagmire switch positions.
