TRIVIA

Jerry Seinfeld was a big fan of the show, and wanted to do a voice. So he was offered to play the part of Turkey #4. But Seinfeld's people objected to having him play such a small role and wouldn't allow him to do the show.
The diner that the boys take Starvin' Marvin to is called King Jimmy's Buffet. James I was King of England when the Pilgrims first came to the Atlantic coast and settled there. It is believed the Pilgrims and Indians enjoyed a buffet of native foods once they made peace.
There are many "Star Trek" (1966) references throughout the series, including: The episode where the children are stuck on a bus begins with a boy in a red "security officer" uniform getting killed. In the episode where Kyle has a crush on a home-schooled girl, they have a discussion about love that is almost word-for-word a scene from the Star Trek episode "Gamesters of Triskelion". In "Roger Ebert should Lay Off the Fatty Foods", the latin phrase above the entrance to the planetarium roughly translates to "Beam me up, Scotty". in "Cartoon Wars", part two, the incomplete code the fox network president gives to pull the "Family Guy" episode, starts off the same as the destruct sequence code for the Enterprise in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" as given by Captain James T. Kirk. In episode "Starvin'Marvin'in Space", the alien planet is called Ceti Alpha VI, the same name of a planet in "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan".
