Graduation - S5-E24

Audio problem: When Mr. Feeny is reading off the names of all the graduates, you can hear reverb in his voice to indicate that he is speaking into a microphone. The problem is there is no microphone in front of him. You can see Eric holding the microphone next to him and singing into it, with no audio. If that microphone is turned off, then Feeny's voice should not be amplified. If the microphone is on, then we should also hear Eric as he is singing. (00:19:38 - 00:20:56)

Suggested correction: When the Sergeant tells Jerry to open the cell (00:18:20), Jerry reaches to his left side to retrieve keys from his duty belt (there is no "sound effect of jingling keys"). And keys were visible dangling from Jerry's duty belt when he told Philip to calm his wife (00:17:10). Secondly, the jail cell door does indeed have an old-style keyhole (00:18:30).

Episode #3.3 - S3-E3

Audio problem: In a conversation with Colin, Zoë says "What is the point of it being able to do all this stuff if we can't see the results?" The camera then cuts away from her face, she continues "We need to find out who [name I won't embarrass myself by misspelling] is talking to." This line has been dubbed in, as it is said while the actress' face is off-screen and in a completely different tone of voice. (00:35:30)
