10 Changes Family Guy Hoped You Wouldn't Notice

10. Lois Griffin Used To Have Blonde Hair

When it comes to the iconic Griffin family who find themselves at the centre of Seth MacFarlane's hilariously dark animated world, the team behind the show did a brilliant job in making each personality feel distinct and unique both internally and externally.

However, you may be surprised to hear that one character's signature locks very nearly looked entirely different coming into the show's first season. Late in the day, the decision was made to alter Lois' hair colour to the red that we've come to expect from the character after all these years. Before this alteration, the matriarch of the Griffin household was set to be sporting luscious blonde locks instead.

It's worth noting that Lois' ginger wig in the pilot episode is much less deep in colour as it would grow to be in later episodes. This change is also evident in the fact that Chris' hair is also blonde, despite nobody else in his family boasting the same colour of mane. Turns out he was going to take after his mother, but they just decided to leave him be upon shifting Lois from blonde bombshell to fiery red-head.
