Wouldn't it be appropriate to mention this was the last episode completed before the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike? Presuming this lasts more than a week or two, this should have some effect on subsequent episodes. / edg ☺ ☭ 07:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't think this was the last episode made before the strike. These episodes are made well in advance. If you listen to the DVD commentaries the staff are already talking about episodes that haven't come out yet.
I just watched the episode and the two American Dad characters only had one line each. It seems to me that the true definition would be a cameo appearance rather than a full-blown crossover. JesseMeza 02:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Little Orphan Millie, Death Picks Cotton, and Lois Kills Stewie aired right after each other, and each one involved people not actually dying. Little Orphan Millie had Kirk and Luann, Death Picks Cotton had Cotton Hill (although he later died), and Lois Kills Stewie had Cleveland Brown and Stewie Griffin. Anyone else think this strange? mrholybrain 's talk 03:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
The part invovling the merman reminded me of the Futurama epidsode The_Deep_South_(Futurama), where Fry says, "why couldnt you be the other kind of mermaid, the one with the fish part on top." JohnDLG 05:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
When Joe is handing out fliers, he goes to the lair of Superman and the maid from 'Believe It Or Not, Joe's Walking On Air' answers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.138.131 ( talk) 06:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Is that maid supposed to be Latina? She doesn't alot like one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.87.214 ( talk) 00:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Isn't that drawing Stewie showed to Peter a reference to the cutback from Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey where Peter and Lois make fun of Stewie's drawing?
Should be some mention of the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes bit after the power goes out -- it was the funniest scene in the parts of the episode that I happened to see... AnonMoos 12:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
From the Cultural references section:
"Peter closes Stewie's eyes after his death, a reference to The Boondock Saints."
Somebody closing the eyes of a dead person is a common scene in many movies and TV shows. Was there something specific in the way this was done in Boondock Saints to distinguish it from every other movie has used it? And was that same distinction made in this episode? -- ΨΦorg 07:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
It looks like the note section has been deleted from the article on this episode. Why is that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjurbeck ( talk • contribs) 23:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Image:Lois vs stewie.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

An explanation of my editing of the goofs section. There are clearly 3 issues/disagreements about how FG episode pages should be handled, and they are 1. Cultural References 2. Trivia and 3. Goofs.
I'll make my case on goofs here. I might feel goofs are pointless to include at all and just serve to clutter reasonable info on these pages, but for the moment I'll concede that they might have use. However, using the goofs sections to identify every perceived tiny error for every single episode is cruft, non-notable, and cluttering. It makes it harder to get actual useful info from the page.
In the case of an animated show, the potential for "goofs" is limitless. On this list, there are goofs over the position of characters in frames, where bullets holes appear, how sound is synced up. These "goofs" are common if not totally expected in cartoony animation and the identification of every single one simply doesn't come across as notable or encyclopedic.
If I see a goof that deals with a plot point or is some other way significant to the events of the episode, then I'll leave it in. Goofs on things like which way an elbow is sticking or how it is "impossible" for Joe to do things because he is paraplegic will be removed. It has to be accepted that FG is a cartoon, is a joke, isn't real life or takes place in a real world. Gwynand ( talk) 20:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I just saw this article say that Willem Dafoe guest starred in this episode as himself. Now I definitely saw Dafoe, but I'm positive that he was played by a common voice double like almost all celebrities are on these shows. Besides, I never saw him mentioned for the guest stars of this episode. Maybe you can tell me after checking the credits if anyone has access to them, because I don't; not now anyway. Immblueversion ( talk) 15:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
A little off topic but Dafoe's page says that he voiced himself in the episode. Should that be removed until it can be verified? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.199.129 ( talk) 16:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
By all means, keep the information up about how this episode was merged with the previous episode and aired as an hour-long episode, but I must ask something. I did not watch that episode when it aired as an hour-long episode and, as such, I do not know what was changed, if anything was changed at all. Could you tell me? Immblueversion ( talk) 23:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Agreeing with everything said above about the cleaning up of the 'goofs' section, I have removed it completely. The one 'goof' mentioned is very small, if true, completely irrelevant to the article and above all unreferenced. DanTheShrew ( talk) 08:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I just came across a Broadcasting & Cable report saying that a rerun of the episode on Sunday night was the highest-rated program that night on Fox, even beating the new episode of The Simpsons that night! Fox.com does confirm that this episode did rerun last night, but Eggerton of BroadcastingCable.com misidentified that airing as the "season finale" -- Andrewlp1991 ( talk) 04:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Wasn't Derek a Neo-Nazi rather than a white supremacist? That's what I took of it, since they had Swasticas and insulted Jews. Preceding unsigned comment added by Montaced ( talk • contribs) 21:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Should we mention the musical number that was cut from the TV version for time? 208.67.166.146 ( talk) 17:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I think Family Guy jumped the shark after airing " The Juice Is Loose". But these two episodes are classics.
Kinda weird that this article has no Plot summary section, even though almost all other episodes have it and this one is about two episodes so you'd think there is enough to write about. I guess it's familiarization to a certain article layout. -- 82.171.13.139 ( talk) 19:03, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
I think this article would be better in the two bits Stewie Kills Lois and Lois Kills Stewie. This is the only article I've seen anywhere in which the two episodes share an article and I think this would be much better in two articles, though I would be willing to accept a compromise of the two episodes sharing an article name, but being clearly separate on the page (an extended disambiguation page, if you like).-- 90.217.236.77 ( talk) 16:03, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Since the article describes two parts with their own titles, why am I feeling that the current title for Wikipedia is... awkward? Should it be "Season 6, Episodes 4 and 5 (Family Guy)" or "Season 6, Episodes 4 and 5"? -- George Ho ( talk) 20:25, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
According to this interview, Willem Dafoe says that it was not actually him in this episode. He claims to "not know the show" and he only saw his scene after the fact when someone told him to find it. I am going to edit the article accordingly. DarthBinky ( talk) 19:24, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
