Talk:The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz/Archive 1

Untitled
I removed the reference to The Simpsons. I think it's clear they both were just working from the same material (the Father, the Son, and the Holy ________) Alanhwiki 22:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Stewie's joke about the crucifix in the kitchen ("A bleeding, half-naked Jew...) didn't air on FOX, just Adult Swim. Should this be a note?


 * Probably. Or a "Controversies" section if it offended anyone. Cromulent Kwyjibo 16:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The introdcution says that the title was a take on Roman Catholic liturgy, but it appears totally familiar to me and I am protestant. Don't most christian churches make use of that phrase in one way or another?

"In a deleted scene on the Region 4 volume 4 DVD release, Stewie talks to Brian about the Anime series Ojamajo Doremi, thinking that it's like a kids' version of Sex and the City. This is possibly a reference to a lolicon-esque comment made about the show by Al Kahn." Shinanigins! This sounds way out there to me Conan-san 23:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

The Goofs section doesn't appear needed. Peter could have embarassed his father without his father being there. 67.182.10.151 07:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Commentary stuff

 * Gary Cole provided the voice for Bill Lumbergh. (Goodman)
 * Danny Smith believes has written all of the episodes which featured Francis, the first one being "Holy Crap". (Goodman) (Smith)
 * Peter is shown watching Jaws 5, which MacFarlane describes as "one of his favourite gags they've ever done on the show". (MacFarlane)
 * Stewie saying about the cross not helping to make people want to eat their food at the dinner table was removed from televised broadcasting. (Goodman)
 * A reference to Desperate Housewives is made by Stewie. Goodman comments it was a "risky gag" about Stewie saying about Desperate Housewives about viewers turning over to the competition. (Goodman)
 * When the doctor informs the Griffins about Stewie being exposed to holy-water, there was originally intended to be a joke about Peter saying "I'm sorry, but if another person says taint today, I am going to bust a nut." (Purdum)
 * Peter having a flashback to people living in Lois' stomach originally said "inner city immigrants that used to be Puerto-Rican immigrants" but it had to be altered. (MacFarlane)
 * John Veiner provided the different voice tones when Peter is being told by a TV narrator about what is broadcasting later. (Goodman)
 * When Lois leaves Stewie in the glass box to answer the phone, Stewie exclains "finish the job, woman! It smells like New Orleans in here". The script for this episode was written a long time before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. The gag is a reference to many New Orleans streets that apparently have that fragrance (Purdum), although it wasn't intended to be involved with the events of Hurricane Katrina. (Goodman)(MacFarlane)
 * Peter is shown describing Jesus in a similar manner to that of Quantam Leap. (MacFarlane)
 * A Happy Days reference is made in the episode. (Goodman) (MacFarlane)
 * The scene of Peter using the load-announcer was is a reference to an short animation scene that used to be shown on Sesame Street, only this time Peter uses a toy of Stewie's, whereas a pinball was used in the SS gag. (MacFarlane)
 * Originally, the Fonzie statue in Peter's church was on a cross in a way similar to how Jesus is shown on a crucifix, but it was rejected. (MacFarlane)
 * A scene in the episode was made where the congregation sing the Happy Days theme tune, however, the Family Guy producers could not obtain rights to the song. (Smith) (MacFarlane)
 * Peter stuttering on the word "Wrong" is a reference to Fonzie from Happy Days who wasn't able to say that in an episode. (Goodman) (MacFarlane) (Purdum) (Sheridan)
 * The show could not get Henry Winkler or Gary Marshall to appear, so they created the Madonna-libel script which "they deemed to be quite funny (Smith)".
 * Although the show were unable to get the right to the Happy Days theme music, from season 1 of Happy Days, the theme song was Rock Around the Clock, so the show used that. (Goodman)
