Production order
- This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.
This is a list of Family Guy episodes in order of production code (aka the order in which episodes were produced).
Notes:
- Any episode that was a holdover for the next broadcast season will be styled like this for clarity.
- Season 3 and Season 7 (or broadcast Season 8) are the only seasons to fully air all their episodes in the broadcast season.
- In Season 6, seasons would start being ahead by one season due to broadcast Season 7 being the 6ACX episode holdovers that were delayed due to the 2007 Writer's Strike. As such, starting from Season 6,
- Starting in Season 10, the episodes would get a new production code. For Seasons 1-9, their production code was styled as #(number of season)ACX#(episode number). Season 10 onwards would have their production code styled as (letter in the alphabet)ACX#(episode number). In this code style, letters like G, I and O are skipped over.
- Also, to keep things straight for what production season we're on, seasons that use this code will have they corresponding production season it means.
