Long-term jobs held

For a fictional character in a comedy series, his most important jobs are those that affect the continuity of the show. Thus, Peter's job one summer in 1970s as a towel boy at Cherrywood is important because there he met Lois Pewterschmidt, his future wife (as seen in flashbacks in the episodes "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater" and "Death Lives").

In or before 1977, Peter started working at the Happy Go-Lucky Toy factory. Flashbacks in "One If By Clam, Two If By Sea" imply that his employment there was continuous through 1984 to the "present day," which is after the time frame of the first episode of the series. There were interruptions in Peter's employment there during the first two seasons of the show but he always returned (so it's possible there were also interruptions before). With the factory being torn down in the episode "Mr. Saturday Knight," it does not appear possible that Peter will work there again. In that episode, Peter had three different jobs in the actual storyline: he was a human hand drier, a transvestite prostitute and a Renaissance faire jouster (the latter job constituted a significant portion of the episode).

From "Jungle Love" forward, Peter works at the Pawtucket Brewery. On his first day of work, he was demoted to the shipping department due to his massive drinking problem, with a "ward of the state" as his supervisor. In "Hell Comes to Quahog," Peter was laid off from the brewery as several small businesses in Quahog were closed by the Superstore USA. In the later episode "Whistle While Your Wife Works," Peter was back at the brewery without any comment (though the end of "Hell Comes to Quahog" implies that with the destruction of Superstore USA, business in Quahog went back to normal), and enlisted his wife's help to get him caught up with his work.

Since many jobs seen in cutaway scenes referred to by Peter show him interacting with fictitious characters, or even not being human, and most show Peter at the same age as he appears in the show normally, it is not possible to establish continuity between these and his regular career story. It is unlikely that the writers intend these cutaways to be a strict part of his biography, since they are not usually mentioned again after being mentioned for one cutaway joke.

Jobs not affecting continuity

In "Da Boom", Peter was Mayor of New Quahog in the aftermath of a Y2K nuclear apocalypse. However, since it appears to be a hallucination of Victoria Principal, and since that part of the episode is not relevant to continuity, neither is Peter's job in that episode . And in Family Guy Viewer Mail #1, Peter appears as a wealthy stockbroker who gave up women when he was a child. Likewise, this does not effect continuity. Da Boom is an episode from the second season of the FOX animated television series Family Guy. ...

Blurring the distinction between fiction and the fiction in the show-within-a-show, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is book-ended by segments about the premiere party attended by Peter Griffin, who plays Peter Griffin in the movie. In answer to Tricia Takanawa's question as to what jobs he's had between the 2001 cancellation of Family Guy and Untold Story, three flashbacks show Peter as: a Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, a firefighter, an astronaut. In the first two of those jobs Peter thought he "could just go in the suit, like the astronauts."
