NOTES (8)
ADD NOTES-
The FOX network was very hesitant to air this show, even though a Jewish Rabbi claimed it was fine. The reason FOX was so nervous to air this episode was because of it's content of Peter trying to convert Chris into Judaism.
-
Even though this aired as a season three episode, it was produced in season two, and is on the Season 2 DVD set in the UK.
-
The woman that Lois sits next to in the Synagogue is modelled on Alex Borstein, the voice of Lois and most other female characters in Family Guy
-
When this episode first aired on [Adult Swim], they introduced the episode as Family Guy-- but then started airing an episode of "The Big O." After about a minute or so, they stopped airing the episode, told the audience they were kidding, and then aired the correct episode of Family Guy.
-
When FOX showed this episode on December 10th 2004, the scene where Lois asks Quagmire for his keys was edited so it doesn't imply Quagmire is pleasuring himself.
-
In the TBS version, the alternate lyric is sung while the closed-captioning displays the original.
-
This episode has aired on Cartoon Network with one edit: During Peter's "I Need A Jew" song, the line "Even though they killed our Lord" was changed to "I don't think they killed our Lord". The Family Guy DVD has both the original line and the alternate line, but CN was asked to use the alternate.
-
Originally unaired, this episode first aired in the U.S. on November 6th, 2003 on the Cartoon Network's [adult swim]. It was subsequently shown on its parent network FOX on December 10th, 2004.

The scene where Sinbad is voted funnier than Stewie is a reference to Star Search, where Ellen DeGeneres lost to Sinbad. -
The Picture Of Dorian Gray

Transformers
Peter: Optimus Prime is jewish?

-
The Graduate
Almost the entire end of this episode is taken straight from the 1967 movie "The Graduate," which was also parodied in "Wayne's World 2," starting when Lois runs out of gas while driving Quagmire's car up to the point where Lois, Peter, and Chris board the bus. Lois also fends off the angry Jews chasing them with a Star of David, and bars the door with it, while in "The Graduate," Dustin Hoffman used a cross for the same thing.
