The Story on Page One/Notes/Trivia

• The TV Guide Peter sees, featuring Luke Perry on the cover, reads “If you can read this, Family Guy is on the air.”
• The family watches a fictitional sitcom called Sherry and the Anus, whose ending credits list real life Family Guy writers and directors as producers of the show-within-a-show.
• This episode is one of the few times that a character is shown with nipples.
• When Neil, the newspaper editor, takes out his retainer and speaks, he sounds like Stan Smith from another Seth MacFarlane show, American Dad. However, this show was created years after the Family Guy episode aired and is probably a coincidence based on Seth McFarlane’s portrayal of both characters.

• In the scene where Meg hands her story for the newspaper to Peter and Brian, the magazine that Peter looks at has a yellow triangle in the bottom left-hand corner with words that read, "IF YOU CAN READ THIS FAMILY GUY IS ON THE AIR." Ironically, the magazine is never in the scene until Peter notices it.
