Trivia: When this show first went into syndication, a market in New England declined to pick it up, thinking it wouldn't be popular with their demographics. They ended up providing the show for free with the agreement that the market would end up paying for the broadcasting rights if the show reached a certain ratings threshold.

Life of the Party - S2-E18

Deliberate mistake: When everyone is doing the Urkel Dance on the rooftop, Steve is instructing everyone on how the dance goes since they have never done it before, but there are sections of the dance where he is not telling them what to do, but it is still perfectly choreographed.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The Winslows' front porch as seen from inside their house features a lattice wall with vines and furniture. However, establishing shots of the house show no such features.

The Crash Course - S2-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When Urkel throws the baseball at the lamp, the shadow of the boom mic can be seen moving from right to left on the wall that the closet door is on, and then moves back in the opposite direction until it is pulled out of view as Carl screams "What happened!?" (00:22:22)

In a Jam - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: When Eddie punches Bull in the gut and Bull curls over, you can see the squared edges of the padding the actor is wearing under his shirt to soften the blow.
