TRIVIA

A joke about John Ritter's role in "8 Simple Rules... for Dating My Teenage Daughter" (2002) was deleted from this episode because the writers found one of their own jokes too distasteful to broadcast, due to his death. It was replaced with a joke about George Lopez (I).
WILHELM SCREAM: During the car chase through the mall. As the priests, who are chasing Peter and Lois, swerve and nearly hit the piano player in the mall.
In the opening scene, Peter lists 29 shows that have been canceled by FOX after short runs in the last few years. Not only is this a joke at how FOX cannot keep many shows around (Peter says that "Family Guy" itself was canceled to make room for these "terrific shows"), but the last mentioned, "Greg the Bunny" (2002), is a reference to a short lived show starring Seth Green, the voice of Chris Griffin on "Family Guy". Also, "That '80s Show" (2002), another show mentioned, ran a few episodes and was based on "That '70s Show" (1998), which stars Mila Kunis, the voice of Meg Griffin. Peter also mentions "The Tick" (2001), where Patrick Warburton, who voices Joe Swanson, played the title character, and "Titus" (2000), in which Alex Borstein, who voices Lois Griffin, made an appearance during one episode.
The license plate of Brian's car is "Bri-Dog".
