GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Plot, "...but was captured by a white Cleveland", "a white Cleveland"? In the Production section, "...this wasn't one imposed" ---> "...this was not one imposed", per here. Same section, "Hitler" ---> "Adolf Hitler", makes sense to have it like that.
Check.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Throughout the article, please link "Chris Sheridan" to its correspondence article, as at the moment it stands out as disambiguation. In the Cultural references section, "Hot for Teacher" needs quotation marks, as it is a song. Same section, the second repetition of "Singin' in the Rain" needs to be italicized if you're talking about the film.
Check.
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
~~In Reference 3 "The Dallas Morning News" needs to be italicized, since it's a newspaper. Ref. 14 is missing Publisher info.~~
Check.

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

C. It contains no original research:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
~~File:Panic Room (Family Guy).png needs a lower resolution.~~

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Reason for move

On the back cover of Family Guy: Volume Four Disc Three this episode is credited as "The Griffin Family History" not "Untitled Griffin Family History" and I found it very odd and confusing at the same time so I moved it to it's proper title as it's credited on the DVD and probably most commonly known by but if its to be moved back whatever I just thought the proper and credited title was better then some weird title.
