From Muppet Wiki

Family Guy is an animated television series aimed at adult/older teen audiences on FOX revolving around an overweight Rhode Island man named Peter Griffin and his family: wife Lois, daughter Meg, oldest son Chris, youngest son Stewie (a baby bent on world domination), and talking dog Brian.

The show contains many pop culture references and spoofs. The Muppet Show and Sesame Street are among the television shows that have been mentioned.

Visual Mentions

Picture Episode Description
"I Never Met The Dead Man" Stewie has a "Bond Villain" moment talking to Ernie on his Sesame Street phone.
"Mind Over Murder" Peter watches "Homicide: Life on Sesame Street", a parody of the crime drama series Homicide: Life on the Street, featuring Ernie and Bert as lovers with Bert as a cop, which references the famous rumor. The show is "brought to you by the letter H," and contains a passing reference to "Hooper's."
"I Am Peter Hear Me Roar" A chef walks out of a kitchen holding a bunch of pies and blurts out "Ten...banana cream PIESSSS!" until he gets run over by Lois fighting with another woman in a reference to the Number Song Series on Sesame Street.
"A Picture is Worth A Thousand Bucks" When checking into a hotel in New York, Peter asks if there are any bellhops at the hotel that are "rats like in the Muppets", alluding to The Great Muppet Caper.

Meg tries her bird calls in Central Park and Big Bird responds, acting like a tough New Yorker.
"Brian Does Hollywood" Stewie holds a Kermit doll hostage for foiling his world domination plans and demands him to respond. Stewie takes out a Miss Piggy doll and tries to coerce an answer by threatening to make love to her.
Family Guy Viewer Mail #1 Peter and Brian watch The Count on Sesame Street and Peter inquires as to whether or not there has been an episode in which The Count has "killed somebody and then sucked their blood for sustenance." Brian says there has never been such an episode.
"Petarded" Prostitutes come into Cleveland's house and are being counted by a children's chorus. This is a direct reference to the counting inserts on Sesame Street, most notably the Baker Films.
Model Misbehavior Stewie has an argument on his Sesame Street phone with Grover. Cookie Monster is seen in a rehabilitation clinic, being treated for his addiction to cookies. In a later scene, he is encountered in a women's bathroom stall, trying to heat up a spoonful of cookie dough with a lighter.
"Jungle Love" Peter has a flashback to when he was an assistant to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, showing Peter morphed into a Beaker design and meeping. Bunsen laughs and remarks "Agreed, Peter".
"The Father, the Son and the Holy Fonz" Stewie has been confined to a plastic ball after having been infected with contaminated holy water. In one scene he says, "You would not believe the morning I had," and the scene cuts to the Pinball Number Count sequence from Sesame Street, with Stewie-in-the-ball replacing the pinball. The music is exactly the same, and so is the sequence, almost frame for frame.
"Deep Throats" Brian and Stewie meet with the mysterious Deep Throat. Deep Throat, seen standing in the shadow, is actually Kermit. When Brian realises who he is, Kermit gasps and runs away while flailing his arms yelling "Yaaaay!" (as he normally did when introducing guest stars on The Muppet Show). After he leaves Stewie turns to Brian and asks "What is his appeal?"

Note: Frank Welker provided the voice of Kermit the Frog in this scene. He also did Baby Kermit in Muppet Babies and adult Kermit in Little Muppet Monsters.
"Peterotica" Lois' mother Barbara Pewterschmidt gives media mogul Ted Turner a bath with his Sesame Street toys, Elmo, Telly, and Ernie.
"Petergeist" Lois recalls when Peter built a "balcony," which is immediately seen to be Statler and Waldorf's balcony on the Griffins' living room wall.
"Stewie Loves Lois" Kermit greets an unwelcome visitor to the Louisiana swamps.
"Mother Tucker" One scene begins with Lois, Meg and Chris watching a discussion show called "Round Table." The panelists are Al Michaels, Harold Ramis, Ray Romano and Kermit the Frog - all of whom get their voices mixed up with one another.
"The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou" Stewie believes he has cancer, and Brian tells him to wait and see the results. Stewie mentions that Jim Henson had a "wait and see attitude" and now we have wrong-sounding Muppets. Then we cut to a parody with Kermit and the Swedish Chef backstage of The Muppet Show. Kermit has a really deep voice and the Swedish Chef has an American accent and a lisp. They talk how the Chef can make something for Kermit to eat. "You want some spaghetti? That's, like, my specialty and junk," says the Chef. Kermit slowly says "Yay" and waves his arms. At the end, just before the closing credits, Kermit and the Swedish Chef reappear one last time and comment on the scene. Fozzie Bear walks in and says in a deep African-American voice, "Wocka wocka... who wants to hear a funny-ass joke?"
"Believe it or Not, Joe's Walking on Air" Using computer graphics, Dr. Hartman shows Joe what he'd look like with legs from a variety of donors, including Big Bird.
"Baby Not on Board" After Stewie is left home during a family vacation, Peter suggests that they head home before he gets hurt, like when Fozzie went to Saudi Arabia. This cues a scene of Fozzie performing a monologue in front of an angry crowd of Saudi Ariabians. "It's good to worship Allah because I used to worship Some-ah! Wocka wocka!" In a direct reference to The Muppet Movie, Fozzie begins to tell another joke: "I once knew a guy who was so Arab..." He's cut off by an Arab wielding a sword, asking how Arab was he. Fozzie tugs at his tie and remarks, "Uh, he was so Arab, that everybody liked him, and there was nothing funny about him at all."
"Not All Dogs Go To Heaven" Adam West and Rob Lowe appear at the end of the episode, where it is revealed that the Family Guy universe exists in their bedroom lamp. The set is designed after Ernie and Bert's bedroom.
"Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show" During the Family Guy special, a series of "lost" auditions are shown to the audience featuring well-known actors auditioning for inappropriate or out-of-character roles. One of them includes a crude Kermit puppet auditioning for the Tom Hanks role in Philadelphia. The puppet ad-libs by introducing John Denver at the end of his script. The director says he gets the job because it's the gayest thing he's ever seen. Kermit frowns in disgust, accompanied by a Sesame Street-esque music tag.
"Jerome is the New Black" Peter, Joe and Quagmire are thinking about how much they miss Cleveland, and Peter compares it to Statler without Waldorf. An image of Statler without Waldorf on the balcony is shown, giving a good comment on a Muppet show sketch.
"Something Something Something Dark Side" In an episode-length parody of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Chris Griffin (in the role of Luke Skywalker) is warned by Peter (playing Hans Solo) that there are snow monsters around. Chris dismisses this, but suddenly a snow monster, resembling Cookie Monster with horns, pops up and yells "Cookie!" before knocking out Chris. Later when Chris attempts to escape, he confronts the monster again and cuts off his arm using his lightsaber. The monster cries, "Me was going to ask you to snow monster ball, but now forget it!" and runs off sobbing.

See what happens is they got this plane, right, crashes into the island. And all the people, right, they got no idea where they are, no idea. What they do is each week the show, shows you a little bit about what's going on with the island, but they also go back in time and show you what the people were doing before the plane crashed. Shows you your histories, very clever, very clever show. Very clever."
