The Wikipedia article on Lost says Family Guy referenced Lost in some episode or other.

Does anyone know how that reference was executed?

In Fast Times at Buddy Cianci High, Mrs. Clifton wins the lottery. The winning numbers were 4, 8 …

In The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire, Peter’s wedding gift to Quagmire is a big foot with four fingers and a sandal. That _might_ reference the giant foot from the last episcode from the second season.

Or it might just have been the foot of the Statue of Liberty, as Peter said it was in dialogue. I don’t watch Lost with any regularity, but I do watch Family Guy, and I’m pretty sure Quagmire’s wedding precedes the end of the 2006 tv season by a few months.

Isn’t The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire the episode where Quagmire has an affair with Loretta, not the episode where Quagmire gets married?

I’ve seen every episode of FG and I know there’s never been an episode that included a foot with four fingers.

Might someone be mistakenly remembering the Cast Away reference?

The foot of the Statue of Liberty was in _I Take Thee Quagmire_, and I think was more there so they could do a Planet of the Apes joke with Adam West later in the episode.

What about when the four guys (Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe) are stuck on an island and get caught having an orgy by a passing ship? Was there a _Lost_ reference in that episode?

Per the [List of references to Lost in popular culture](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_references_to_Lost_in_popular_culture):

> [@Wiki-geek](#):
>
> In the Family Guy episode “Petergeist”, Peter and Lois watch Lost along with Statler and Waldorf, who are sitting in a balcony. They comment that the show has the right name because they “couldn’t follow any of it” and burst into laughter.

Peter: [chuckles] They don’t like most things.
