Continuity mistake: When Adam gets angry at Joan in the art room because of the camera, his half-made sculpture is sitting on the desk. When he grabs his bag toward the end of the scene, he accidentally knocks it over, unbalancing it. But in the next shot it's balanced again, then suddenly it's unbalanced. This happens several times between shots, and can even be seen in one shot before he knocks it over.
Joan of Arcadia (2003)
Starring: Mary Steenburgen, Joe Mantegna, Jason Ritter, Amber Tamblyn
Continuity mistake: When the motor is launched towards Friedman and Glynis at the end of the episode, Friedman dives out of the way, but between shots, his position changes a lot. In the long shot you can see that he dives clear of it, but when Ms. Lischaek knocks into Glynis, Friedman is only just jumping out of the way and is still in shot.
Continuity mistake: In the previous episode 'Back to the Garden', Helen asks Joan what she can remember from the night of Kevin's accident and Joan says she was watching The Nutty Professor when she heard her mom scream. In this episode, in one of the flashbacks Joan and Luke are watching The Three Stooges when Helen screams.
Trivia: When the Girardis are debating over what to watch for movie night, Will suggests one of the Godfather films. Joe Mantegna previously had a supporting role in The Godfather Part III.
Grace Polk: It's the one advantage to being universally despised: you get to say whatever you want.
Joan: I just want to be who I am and not who everyone else wants me to be.
Joan: Great, so ask Isaac Newton to the prom.
Luke: Sure, if he was a girl... and alive.
