    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In "The Story on Page One", the cover of the TV Guide featuring the likeness of 'Luke Perry' says in the bottom right corner, "If you can read this Family Guy is on the air". The gag reflects on the ever-uncertain airing of the show by Fox due to its content each week, and the writers in the second season often thought they would lose their jobs any day while in production.
    • Goofs
      The Dean, reading off the transcript, states that Meg's name has only three letters. Peter and Lois go along with this observation. However "Meg" is only her nickname. As already established in previous episodes, (including one that showed a copy of her birth certificate)"Megan" is her actual name and would also be the name listed on her transcript.
    • Quotes

      [Stewie is electronically controlling Chris and is waiting outside the hardware store while Chris goes inside]

      Stewie Griffin: All right, now walk up to the counter.

      [Chris does]

      Stewie Griffin: That's it, ring the bell!

      [he does]

      Shopkeep: Well, hi there.

      Stewie Griffin: Good day, shopkeep.

      Chris Griffin: [parroting] Good day, shopkeep. I require a hand-operated buzzsaw capable of cutting through a human sternum.

      Shopkeep: What?

      Stewie Griffin: It's for a school project. I'm... some sort of student sent here for... oh, blast, what the devil do they study? Uh, Latin class!

      Shopkeep: Uh, sorry, kid, I can't sell power tools to minors.

      Chris Griffin: Now, look here, you gourd-bellied codpiece! Allow me to purchase the provisions I demand or I shall transform your blue collar into a red one and - who the deuce are you? No, I don't have any spare change. Where the hell would I keep it, in my diaper? Get out of here, you hobo!... Oh, bloody hell, is this thing still on?

      Shopkeep: [stares in confusion]

    This one definitely shows its age, but if you're older like myself, you'll find all these references understandable and even funny.

    Rest in peace, Luke Perry.
