The Courtship of Stewie's Father/Notes/Trivia
Family Guy Wiki, your fan-created Family Guy resource.
Notes
- Stewie actually calls Peter “Dad” in this episode.
- According to the DVD commentary, all the laughing by Peter and Stewie in the part where they drown Lois in the stationwagon, hitchhike to (what is assumed to be) a McDonalds, and (inexplicably) are home on the couch was done by Seth MacFarlane himself (as opposed to being recycled from earlier episodes), which left him sweating and exhausted from going through with it.
- Meg had one line in this episode and only appears once when she says to Lois, “Is Chris still doing chores for that disgusting old man?”
Censorship
- In the scene where Peter rescues Stewie from “It’s a Tiny World” and Ahmed the guard goes after them, Peter’s line to distract him, “Hey, look over there! There’s a woman learning!” was cut on the FOX version, presumably because it would cause offense to Muslims. The Adult Swim and DVD versions have the line intact.
- Some of Quagmire’s obscene gestures (particularly when he points to his crotch, mimes sticking his hand into a vagina [which the people on the DVD commentary pointed out as one of the gestures that got cut] and humps a plunger) in his story of how he had sex with the hot homeless twins was replaced with an extended shot of Peter covering Stewie’s ears on the FOX version.
- According to DVD commentary, there were more scenes in the subplot of Chris doing chores for Herbert the Pedophile to pay off the broken window, but FOX Standards rejected them due to Herbert’s morally questionable character (also mentioned was that Herbert the Pedophile was originally supposed to be the school bus driver when they were first creating the character). Some of the missing scenes mentioned was a scene where Herbert offers Chris a pill he claims is Tylenol and tells Chris to lie face down on the couch and a scene where Herbert gives Chris his own work uniform, which turns out to be a leather bondage harness.
