    • When the FBI agent informs Lois that the robber knows where they are and she says "what?" you'll see that it's daytime outside for a second and then night - time again.
    • If you watch closely during the party scene when one of the FBI agents is calling the Griffins to warn them about the escaped convict, you can see Quagmire running past him sporting a foam dome hat and a bra.
    • Meg incorrectly calls the raccoon which is constantly attacking Peter a rodent. Raccoons are not rodents.
    • When the bank robber who just escaped prison is interviewed about his plans and he replies, "Yeah, I'm gonna go bang my girlfriend, and then I'm gonna kill Chris Griffin!", Stewie's remark, "Good lord! Can they really say 'bang my girlfriend' on TV?", is a not so subtle commentary aimed at what the censors could and could not allow on network television in terms of language and content. Ironically, the repeats of this episode on Fox bleeped out the word "bang" in the line said by the robber.

TJ Hooker starred William Shatner in the title role, "tough-as-nails" veteran police officer Sgt. T.J. Hooker who hated the criminal element with a passion.
