Notes

• This is the second Family Guy episode that Carrot Top has made an appearance in. In “The Son Also Draws” they employed a parody character named “Carrot Scalp” to make a play on an Indian name. (This character was voiced by Seth Green.)
• The fully completed Indian skeleton is the same as the one dug up when Joe and Peter break ground in a park in “Ready, Willing, and Disabled.”

Cut Scenes

The following scenes were cut from the TV version due to time constraints (and in one case, content reasons), but included in the DVD:

• When Chris is cowering in bed over the upcoming storm, Peter calms him down by telling him that the storm will pass if they can name off the worst things that can happen to a child (i.e., swallowing a razor blade, getting shot in the face, having a mosquito bite on top of a scab).
• Peter commenting that the revelation of the spirit world exit being in Meg’s butt is weirder than having Bob Costas bathe with him, followed by a cutaway of Bob Costas [fully clothed (according to DVD commentary, Costas was supposed to be naked too, but the censors objected)] getting in the tub with Peter and doing color commentary on the bath he’s taking.
• After the Griffin house vanishes into thin air, Herbert the Pervert and the tree monster (who battled each other as they plunged to their presumed death in a previous sequence) climb out of the hole where the house once stood. Herbert and the tree monster make up for fighting and Herbert invites the monster to his house for tea and cookies, then asks the tree monster if he’s a “giving tree” or a “receiving tree” (according to DVD commentary, this was cut because Standards and Practices objected to it being a homosexual intercourse joke).
• An extended version of the scene where Brian finds out that Peter wasn’t wearing the Indian skull as an athletic cup (with Chris adding that his old Scoutmaster greeted him that way) where Peter says that Brian grabbing his crotch was more awkward than having a threesome where the girl doesn’t show up, followed by a cutaway of Peter and an unnamed man waiting in bed for the girl.
• The following sequence is featured in the collection of deleted scenes shown in the Family Guy Volume 4 Region 1 DVD set. Instead of Peter’s head popping out of Meg’s butt after Stewie says “Have you lost your mind?” when Lois urges Stewie to exit the spirit world through there, Stewie says, “That’s about as likely as anyone recognizing the 1980 cast of Saturday Night Live!” It then goes to a cutaway of a (rather inaccurate) depiction of the 1980-1981 season opening of SNL, listing the three female repertory players of that season (Denny Dillon, Gail Matthius—spelled “Mathius,” and Ann Risley), two of the four featured players from that season [Yvonne Hudson (the first black female featured player on SNL) and Patrick Weathers], musical guest Jack Bruce and Friends (who actually were musical guest for a season six episode of SNL hosted by Ray Sharkey), and a fictional host named Scott Colomby. n in the Family Guy Volume 4 Region 1 DVD set.
