Notes

• Joe shoots Charlton Heston accidentally when the safety on his firearm is off.
• According to the Family Guy Volume 2 DVD in a featurette about the show’s politically incorrect humor, Seth MacFarlane cites this episode as the one that solidifed Glenn Quagmire’s character as a (to quote MacFarlane), “heartless sex hound” (cf. the scene after he has sex with the social worker, she asks, “Glenn, honey, I have a question for you: what do you do for a living?” to which Quagmire [and, with a split screen effect, Seth speaking in Quagmire’s voice on the DVD featurette] replies, “Hey, I got a question for you too: why are you still here?”)
• Lois points out that Peter’s idea is esoteric; he believes it means delicious. Esoteric actually means something which is recognized by a select few, i.e., a rather specific cultural reference.
• As of now, this is the only time Meg ever laughs like Peter.

This article contains a trivia section. ... Etymology Esoteric is an adjective originating during Hellenic Greece under the domain of the Roman Empire; it comes from the Greek esôterikos, from esôtero, the comparative form of esô: within. It is a word meaning anything that is inner and occult, a latinate word meaning hidden (from which...

Censorship

In the syndicated version:

• The Who’s the Boss? floats scene, the Mona tree bark on the age spots comment is cut out.
• At the child agency, the scene between Lois and Chris talking about where babies come from is cut out.

Cultural references

• Actor Charlton Heston chooses the winning parade theme by shooting pigeons who have suggestions for parade themes tied to their legs. This is a reference to the fact that Heston was president of the National Rifle Association at the time, and a strong supporter of gun ownership. His line “Let my pigeons go!” is a parody of his line “Let my people go,” from the film The Ten Commandments.
• Peter’s parade theme is “The Episode of Who’s the Boss? where Tony sees Angela naked in the shower.” Who’s the Boss? was an ABC sitcom, lasting from 1984 until 1992, starring Tony Danza and Judith Light. The episode in question was the second episode of the sitcom, titled “Briefless Encounter.”
• Stewie’s letter blocks spell “REDRUM,” or “MURDER” backwards, a reference to the 1980 horror film The Shining.
• After watching Peter dance, Stewie exclaims “Michael Flatley must be turning over in his grave” before noting that Flatley is still alive and marking him down in a murder list. Flatley is the creator and star of the Irish stepdancing production Lord of the Dance.
• Brian reads a magazine called BONE that features a lay-out similar to that of TIME.
• In a cutaway, Quagmire tries to guess a woman’s astrological sign. After two incorrect guesses, he says “Well, I know you’re not a Virgo”, causing the woman to punch him. Virgo is generally associated with purity and virginity. On the floor, Quagmire says “From down here, you look like a Pisces,” a reference to the vagina’s supposed resemblance to a Vesica Piscis.
• Rod Serling, former host of The Twilight Zone, appears in the episode to give a typical exposition seen on the show. The neighborhood strife is similar to the episode “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.”
• Under Meg’s encouragement, Stewie says he is “cuckoo for crack,” a reference to the slogan “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.”
• When Stewie says “My God, I’ve been adopted by a Benetton ad!”, this refers to Benetton Group clothing advertisements that had people of many cultures in them.
• Stewie asks his foster parents for pancakes in Spanish, French and impromptu Swahili.
• After Stewie encourages infighting between his foster siblings, the Indian boy is derogatively called “Gandhi,” referring to Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, and the Chinese girl “Mulan,” referring to the Chinese folk character Hua Mulan and the Walt Disney character Mulan.
• In the end credits, while Stewie is coming down from his pancake addiction, he is haunted by a vision of himself crawling on the ceiling. This is a parody of a scene in the 1996 film Trainspotting.
• Peter Griffin says, "Yeah, and she said we were in league with some guy named Stan", to which Bonnie replies, "I actually said Satan, it was a typo." This references a similar typo on the "In League With Satan" album of black metal band Venom,

Goofs

• The contestants from Spooner Street are already on the stage when the award winners are announced.
• When all the women are in the van, Lois mistakenly refers to Bonnie Swanson as “Debbie.” (The series one episode guide also refers to Bonnie as Debbie in her first appearance, “A Hero Sits Next Door.”)
• At the end of the episode, after Brian says that “some mysteries are better left unsolved,” Bonnie says “Peter’s got a point,” referring to Brian as “Peter.” (Though it's possible that Bonnie can’t imagine Brian talking.)
• During the scene where Peter and Lois confront their neighbors about how Stewie was taken away, if you look while Lois is talking, the Griffins’ station wagon is blue, but when it shows the rest of the neighbors and any other scene containing the car, it is the usual color, red.

“A Hero Sits Next Door” is an episode of Family Guy from season one. ...
