TV Edits/Alterations

The following items from the second third of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story were not on the TV version of this episode:

• The scene where Quagmire, still chained to the hotel bed (from when the cleaning lady left him there), turns on a porno movie so he can arouse himself to the point where he's able to use his penis to call 911.
• The old style intermission with the characters talking over it.
• Brian and Stewie arriving in San Francisco, and the "ThunderCats" cut-away.
• The episode on the TV version ends with an announcer asking viewers rhetorical questions about the episode's events. The last line is, "Will younger viewers get this Soap reference?" It is, in fact, a parody of the 70's soap opera comedy Soap, including the family fighting on the couch.

Notes

• The episode is named for the song And Bingo Was His Name-o.
• Peter parodies Spider-Man and Batman in this episode.
• On Peter and Lois's trip to Las egas they see the Jew Man Group, a parody of the Blue Man Group playing the Jewish Hava Nagilah.
• The banner of the Wanna - Bang- Oh! says Quagmire's Cross-Cuntry Tour (after Brian points out that Quagmire's spelling of "country" is missing an "o").
• Stewie says when boarding the Wanna-Bang-Oh! "You heard Mr. Syphilis were going to California". Syphilis is an STD reffering to the joke of Quagmire being a sex addict.
• In the desert Stewie and Brian think they see a Dr. Pepper soda mahine and race to it only to find it's a mirage and actually a RC Cola Machine
• Lois asks Crhis who the women are in Sex in the City and Crhis lists Carry, Miranda, Samantha and Scrappy-Doo, the nephew of Scooby-Doo. Then he guessed Bosley, Tootie and Sheena Easton.
• This episode features the first reference to Brian's future girlfriend. In this we just see Stewie look at a cable bill to which Brian responds rather sheepishly saying that its for a friend
