Just curious if anyone knew how in the Family Guy episode Da Boom at the end
with the Dallas shower scene, they made the actors lips match the "new"
dialog.

Thanks

please elaborate the program's contents a bit more, who was in shower
and what was going on before?

To me a "Dallas shower scene" also alludes to Bobby Ewing in DALLAS.
This was a cheap tv showbiz trick to cover incontinuity
(discontinuity?) of real life death of Barbara del Geddes as Miss
Ellie and/or whatever, it was a very popular serial drama in the circa
1970s-1980s-- a hook was "who shot J.R. (Larry Hagaman as celebrated
villain)? because everybody in the show had a motive. Does the toon go
"that far back" with humorous references ?

It actually is the Bobby Ewing in DALLAS shower scene but hey make
references to "Family Guy" and the close-ups show their lips moving and they
are in sync with the dialog (not the original dialog, but the new dialog).
The actors are the age they were when the shot was originally filmed (not
the age they are now).

Just curious how this was done.

No, they've just held together very well. As the Captain said, the
entire scene was re-shot. And to the observant eye, some aging is
quite apparent.

Also keep in mind, that episode was probably recorded in 1999.

There were only 13 years between the two filmings.

But they went back in time first, right? McFarlane's a stickler for
detail I've heard.
