Notes

• The beginning where the family watches Little House on the Prairie (with the entire family playing pranks on their blind daughter) is cut from the FOX version, but appears on the Adult Swim and DVD version.
• The strip club in this episode is called "The Fuzzy Clam", which is a euphemism for a woman's genitalia.
• The Evil Monkey in Chris' closet makes his second appearance in this episode. His first was in "Dammit Janet!".
• This is the last episode where Cleveland Jr. has any speaking lines. He is last seen running off, apparently never to return. (Save for one cameo appearance later)
• Quagmire's foot fetish is revealed in this episode.

Cultural references

• When Chris, Meg, Peter, and Brian talk at the same time, they stop talking and then say "Ruth Bader Ginsburg" to try and trick each other. It doesn't work.
• Stewie uses Brian’s books to create papier-mâché replicas of the houseboat from the 1960s campy detective show Surfside 6 and the fort from the post-Civil War-era sitcom F Troop, another 1960s show.
• Quagmire's license plate reading "Bushman" is a reference to the "Seinfeld" episode where Kramer gets a license plate that reads, "Assman".
• Stewie mentions that one of Brian’s books is by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. Brian is seen reading Dostoevsky in the future episode “Ready, Willing, and Disabled.”
• When Cleveland Jr. plays with a stick he says “I’m Daniel Boone,” an American pioneer. When the stick breaks in half he says “I’m Pat Boone. ‘Gonna have a Christmas special with Andy Williams.” Pat Boone and Andy Williams are both pop singers who reached their commercial peaks in the 1950s.
• When Peter suggests the world may have been created just for him, a cutaway shows Christof, who controlled the artificial world of the 1998 film The Truman Show.
• Cleveland suggests that the sitcom Fish should be put before the television series CHiPs as a good marketing strategy.
• Peter calls part of the evening the “magic hour; the day’s not quite gone, the night’s not quite here and somewhere Scott Baio is plowing a woman he doesn’t love.” This is a reference to the Happy Days actor’s multiple, short-term relationships.
• Peter tries to teach Chris how to eat an Oreo, a reference to famous commercials of the cookie brand.
• Lois brings Brian some of Peter’s books, which include Mr. T by Mr. T, an autobiography of The A-Team star; T and Me by George Peppard, an actor who co-starred with Mr. T on The A-Team and For the Last Time, I’m Not Mr. T by Ving Rhames, an African-American actor with a physique like that of Mr. T. With the exception of "Mr. T by Mr. T", all of these books are fictitious.
• When Peter says "Freeze Frame", and he breaks the fourth wall, it is a reference to Saved by the Bell. The main character, Zack Morris, had the same ability. At the end of the aside, he urges the viewer to leave, as he is going to "do stuff" to Lois while she is frozen, something that never would have happened on a wholesome daytime show like Saved by the Bell.
• When encouraging himself to fight his perceived illness, Stewie tells himself “do not go gentle into that good night.” He first attributes the quote to singer-songwriter Bob Dylan but then corrects himself; it was written by poet Dylan Thomas.
• A cutaway parodies the 1960s campy science fiction series Lost in Space, mocking the ways in which the father and leader of the expedition send his children off with strange characters on dangerous missions.
• Cleveland Jr. sings a jingle for Honeycomb breakfast cereal
• Peter asks Cleveland Jr. to call him Mr. Drummond, a character from the 1980s sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, who adopted two African-American children. He later asks Jr. to call him Mr. Papadopoulos, the adopted white father of an African-American child on another 1980s show Webster.
• Paddy has a secret tunnel “like on Hogan's Heroes,” referring to the secret escape hatch of the characters on the 1960s POW camp sitcom.
• The beach scene featuring Chris and Quagmire parodies the clothing, music and nonsensical catch phrases of 1960s Beach Party films aimed at teenagers.
• Quagmire asks, “Are we in Tianenmen, because I see a square?” This puns on the Tian'anmen Square, the Beijing plaza that was the site of a famous 1989 crackdown on political dissent, and the use of the term square for an uncool person.
• After Peter tosses Cleveland Jr. a golf ball, he begins kicking it with his feet, singing “I’m Pelé,” a reference to the Brazilian soccer player best known by that nickname.
• Peter used perfume from Calvin Klein to lure Cleveland Jr.
