Continuity mistake: When Chris tells Meg not to rake the two leaves because they are his friends, one leaf is brown and the other is yellow. After Meg picks them up and crushes them, they're both brown.
Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
