Episode Notes
“Brian & Stewie” was seen by 7.688 million viewers
“Brian & Stewie” is being promoted as Family Guy's 150th episode even though it is actually the 143rd episode to air.
It is however, the 150th episode to be produced.
A twenty minute Family Guy musical special followed “Brian & Stewie” as part of “FOX Rocks”, a musical element that flowed through all three of FOX's Sunday shows.
“Brian & Stewie” was touted as being the first episode with no cutaways or flashbacks, however
“Family Guy Viewer Mail #1” is technically the first one to claim that title.
Granted the formats for the episodes are different,
“Brian & Stewie” being one continuous story and
“Mail” being 3 short stories contained in one episode but none of the three stories contained any flashbacks or cutaways.
