Cultural references

  • The short-lived 2005 NBC series Three Wishes is spoofed in a cutaway sequence. The mention of Sears in that sequence is a reference to the heavy involvement Sears rival J.C. Penney had with the series.
  • 97.1 WQHG, the talk radio station that briefly employs Brian and Stewie is based on 97.1 KLSX, a Los Angeles station with a similar format.
  • "Weenie and The Butt", the morning team at WQHG, could be seen as a parody of the syndicated Don and Mike program (a la "Bill and Marty" on The Simpsons).
  • "Dingo and The Baby", the on-air name of Brian and Stewie's program, is a reference to the Azaria Chamberlain disappearance.
  • Tom and Peter watch the film Chicken Little.
