Family Guy: Brian Griffin's House of Payne

When Lois reads Brian’s pilot script, she falls in love with it and insists that he meet with network executives to pitch it.
The execs respond positively, and the initial casting session goes well with Elijah Wood (guest-voicing as himself) auditioning for the lead role.
But when the suits insist that Brian hire James Woods (guest-voicing as himself) and change the entire concept, Brian finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place.

Meanwhile, Chris and Meg seriously injure Stewie and try to cover it up

Episode Goofs
During the cold opening with Stewie, the ships in space don't match the radar images of ships in groups of threes in triangle formations.

When Chris sneaks into Meg's room to read her diary we see a small blue dresser with a vase in the hallway along the same wall as Meg's door, but when Meg opens the door to discover Chris, the dresser has moved to the wall directly opposite Meg's door and has changed color to plain wood.

When we see Chris sneaking into Meg's room, the dresser on the right has a blue hat and small cabinet on top but when Meg screams 'Chris what are you doing', suddenly there's a TV on the dresser as well.



Cultural References
This episode's title “Brian Griffin's House of Payne” is a take off of the title of the sitcom “Tyler Perry's House of Payne” (2006-)
