 * Peter flying in the car is a reference to Top Gun, as is the music. (MacFarlane)
 * Quagmire's co-pilot is a reference to 'Return of the Jedi'' (MacFarlane)
 * Mayor West being told about the plane crash is a reference to George Bush's reaction after being told about the 9/11 attacks, as MacFarlane comments, "he didn't act so quick." (MacFarlane)
 * The gag of Tom Tucker showing clips of the how the crash could of been is a reference to local news and how, in MacFarlane's words, "how irresponsible it is." (MacFarlane)
 * Several of the slaps given to the woman by the man were cut out. (Goodman) (MacFarlane)
 * The scene of Peter's penis was censored on Fox. It is because of a famous crotch shot of Britney Spears getting out of the car. (Goodman)
 * The "three weeks later" rabbit pictures is a reference to the movie Babe. (MacFarlane)
 * The name of the person ringing the Griffins when it is for Quagmire was changed, as broadcasting standards objected to the original one. (MacFarlane)(Goodman)

 * The sketch showing a faux beginning to family guy as a comedy show is a reference to Will and Grace. (MacFarlane)
 * The joke about Quagmire becoming Joe's "nappy changer" was cut from television airing, as they weren't allowed to make a "poop joke". (MacFarlane)

 * Hugh Heffner provided his own voice for the episode. (MacFarlane)
 * The scene of Heffner and Quagmire talking has a slight echo, as noted by MacFarlane, as it was recorded in Heffner's Den, so Patrick Clark matched the echo sound from Heffner's voice so it would show when Quagmire was talking. (MacFarlane)
 * Music from Airplane! is again featured when Quagmire is guiding the plane down. (MacFarlane)
 * The ending of the episode is a reference to the credits from the end of Little House on the Prairie (MacFarlane)

Inclusion of censorship details
Does it REALLY have to be mentioned that FOX censored the penis? All television shows (except for pornographic channels maybe) do that, penises, tits and vaginas are blurred on television all the time. I personally think it's too obvious to mention. It's as obvious as mentioning if the word fuck is bleeped out on television. Though it might be worth mentioning that the penis is shown on the DVD, but having the statement that FOX blurred the penis alone is in my opinion just stating the obvious.

 * You do have a point, but some people might not be aware such things are not broadcast on television. I'm open to disussion on this. Qst (talk) 18:34, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * We don't include everything that "some people" are unaware of. If you won't object I will remove this fact later today, since I still find it too obvious. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 17:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I do object. However obvious it may be to you and I, not everyone is aware of these things, and it essentially removing valuable info. Qst (talk) 17:18, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You might have a point, but still we don't include everything that some people might be unaware of, if we did big articles like this would be crowded with everything people are unaware of. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 17:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest we wait for a third opinion on this matter, as we can't seem to agree. Once I've done a little more work to the article and this is resolved, and send it off to GAC. — Qst (talk) 17:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This article is now ready to be sent to GAC, but I will not nominate it until this is sorted out. I'll try to seek a third opinion on this via IRC. Qst (talk) 12:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that a third opinion is needed. We simply don't seem to agree on this. I disagree with you and you disagree with me, we need someone else to join this discussion. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 14:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I asked edgarde to join the discussion, now we have to wait and see. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 14:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the invitation. Let me first declare my prejudice: I am avoiding episode articles these days because almost all have notability issues.


 * I mostly agree with TheBlazikenMaster that the differences between different broadcasts and media releases resemble the sort of trivia that is better suited to TV.com and Family Guy Wiki. However, the article Criticism of Family Guy suggests to me that Family Guy often pushes the contemporary limits of what can be shown on TV, so issues of censorship may be more notable on FG than other shows. A bit of notice in secondary sources (beyond TV show review sources) would establish notability. Lacking that, information about the Producer's discussion with Standards & Practices over a particular scene would make these details acceptable to me. Lacking that, I'm ambivalent.


 * Sorry not to give a more decisive answer. The "disturbing elements" review is a start on establishing notability on censorship issues from secondary sources, but I would strongly recommend including more if any can be found. That said, information verified by a primary source (such as a DVD commentary) does not need to be removed immediately. As long as Qst (whose style I don't wish to cramp since a talent for pushing episode articles to GA status is well-demonstrated) is improving the article I would choose to err on the side of inclusion for the time being. That is my suggestion. / edg ☺ ☭ 13:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input. Is everyone okay if I nominate this at GAC now? Qst (talk) 18:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, but whether or not the fact about blurred penis should be there is still under discussion. But that's just a small issue, that shouldn't stop the article from being good. I believe a lot of articles get featured while there are unsolved discussions on the talk page. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Quagmire Speaking Thai
When Quagmire yells something in Thai to the escaping women, is that real or just gibberish? If it's real, what is he saying? JDS2005 (talk) 05:30, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Is Stewie giving oral sex to Brian?
- During the "Will & Grace"-style bumper, it appears that Stewie is performing fellatio on Brian; can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, should it be mentioned in the Notes section —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.123.186 (talk) 00:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Delisted Good Article status
Removed. The article does not meet criterion for Good article status:


 * The plot section has no references . Per good article criterion, good articles need to be "Factually accurate and verifiable: (a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout;


 * The plot section goes into unnecessary detail, rather than providing a summary. Per good article criterion, good articles need to “stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail.”
