The Kiss Seen Around the World/Notes/Trivia

Notes

• The bully who picks on Stewie, Charlie, is reading a magazine called Bully Weekly with an article called “Wedgie Tips.”
• The Mass Media Murderer is also the robber in the convenience store in “To Love and Die in Dixie” who threatens Chris.
• When the man comes to warn Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons of the Mass Media Murderer, he says he is wielding a “high-powered rifle.” However, the Murderer is using a pistol in the next scene.
• During a news broadcast, Tom Tucker mentions the loss of Betsy LeBeau to Fred Johnson in a school board race. LeBeau was mentioned as a candidate for school board in the past episode “Running Mates.”
• This episode reveals that Meg is allergic to peanuts.
• The episode’s title is inconsistently written: “Round” is used on the back-cover of the first disc Volume 2 Season 3 DVD Boxed Set (Region 1), on the DVD menu, and on the TV Guide Channel in some regions, while “Around” appears on FOX's Family Guy site. The phrase being parodied by the title is often written with the word “’round” with an apostrophe, which appears to have engendered the confusion.
• This episode takes place on December 29, 2000 because it's Mary Tyler Moore's 64th birthday.

Trivia

• The line “dismembered Baltic hooker” is “dismembered Spanish hooker” in the closed captions.
• Approximately 40 seconds into the episode, when Peter and Brian are commenting on the Toy Disc guns, one of the toy boxes on the shelf behind them has a symbol on the lid which could be the 'all seeing eye' of the Illuminati.
