A Long Walk To Pittsburgh (1) - S4-E16

Character mistake: After learning that Topanga will be moving to Pittsburgh, Cory tries to rationalize their desire to be together for the rest of their lives despite still being so young by comparing their relationship to that of Romeo and Juliet, thinking they turned out OK. Shortly thereafter, he is shown reading the book in his backyard and explains the situation to Mr. Feeny, who advises him to skip to the end to find out what happens to their relationship, much to Cory's dismay. The problem is that Cory already learned the fate of Romeo and Juliet in Mr. Feeny's class in the first episode of the series. He was even dismissive over the idea of a man killing himself over a woman.

Chick Like Me - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: When Alan is saying "It's a miracle bra, honey, get a camera," his left hand is resting on the table. When the shot changes, his left hand is suddenly resting on his right arm. (00:08:00)

Wheels - S4-E14

Trivia: The actor who plays the judge in Cory's hearing is Dan Lauria, who played the father to Ben Savage's brother Fred on The Wonder Years.

Wheels - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: During Cory's birthday dinner, when Shawn is saying "No biggie," Alan can be seen raising a fork to his mouth. When the shot changes, his arm is in his lap. (00:08:23)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Establishing shots of the Matthews' house show the doorknob on the exterior of their front door to be on the left-hand side, but shots from inside the house show it to be on the right-hand side.

B & B's B'n B - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When Eric is suggesting to Mr. Feeny that they go out and look for women, some shots show Feeny gripping his wine glass, while other shots show his hands down on the table with the glass several inches away.

B & B's B'n B - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Timmer picks up the mini vase, just before Cory tells him to put it down, you can see he is the only one touching it. When the shot changes, Mr. Timmer and his wife are both holding onto it. Cory also instantly has his left arm raised and index finger pointed at the Timmers.

B & B's B'n B - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When the bartender fills up the mug of root beer, after the foam settles, the mug is a little more than half full. When Mr. Feeny hands the mug to Eric, it is suddenly filled closer to the top.

An Affair to Forget - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Eric is performing his one-man show, he states in the intro that he was born on June 24, 1978. However, in the season 1 episode "It's a Wonderful Night," Eric fails his test to get his driver's license. That episode takes place during the middle of the school year, but if Eric was born in late June, he would have had to wait until after, or at the least the very end of the school year to try and get his license, as the minimum age in Pennsylvania for obtaining a driver's license is sixteen.

Sixteen Candles and Four-Hundred-Pound Men - S4-E9

Factual error: The match between Vader and Jake the Snake is supposed to be taking place in Philadelphia, presumably the Spectrum, but the establishing shot of the building is actually the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California.

Dangerous Secret - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Topanga walks away upset from Cory, she closes her locker in such away that the bottom half of it is not flush with the frame. Moments later when Cory and Shawn are talking, the locker is fully closed.

Dangerous Secret - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Feeny hands Cory the CD, Cory holds it between both hands. When the shot changes, he is holding it with only his right hand, while his left arm appears to be folded around his abdomen.

Dangerous Secret - S4-E8

Other mistake: When Cory throws the CD out of his bedroom window, if you listen closely, you can hear the CD land in a soft terrain. However, the next day at school, Mr. Feeny pulls the CD out of his suit pocket and says that it sailed through his living room window and landed on his walnut credenza. If the CD managed to make all the way into Feeny's house, then the sound of it landing would not be audible.

Janitor Dad - S4-E6

Deliberate mistake: Chet comes home from his first day as school janitor brandishing a paycheck, which impresses his wife and in turn changes Shawn's mind about Chet working at the school. Being that it was Chet's first day on the job, there's no way he would already have received a paycheck. Even if it was payday, his employment would have begun on the first day of the next pay period.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The age gap between Eric and Cory decreases as the series progresses. At the start of the show, Cory is in 6th grade and Eric is a high school sophomore, meaning they are four years apart, give or take a few months. By season 3, Cory is in 9th grade (confirmed by dialogue mentioning that Shawn, who is in the same grade as Cory, is 15 years old), and Eric is a senior, leading to an age gap of three years. The first episode of season 4 takes place a couple months after the end of season 3, with Eric and Cory returning from a summer Road Trip, but just two episodes later, Cory mentions that he is in 11th grade, while Eric is still barely out of high school, leading to an age gap of two years.

Fishing for Virna - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: When Virna is standing in the doorway of the trailer, her left arm is touching the curtains near the door. When the shot changes, her arm is instantly down at her side.

I Ain't Gonna Spray Lettuce No More - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of this episode, Cory asks Alan for money for his class photo. When Alan asks what grade Cory is in now, Cory says 11th. However, at the end of the previous season, Cory had just finished 9th grade (he and Shawn are both 15) and he spent his summer traveling the country with Eric. He should be in 10th grade, not 11th. This is further complicated later in the season, when he turns 16 and gets his driver's license. If he was in 11th grade, he would have already turned 16 and gone through driver's ed.

You Can Go Home Again - S4-E1

Factual error: In this episode, Eric and Cory stop in Pottstown, Pennsylvania on their way back to Philadelphia. Cory protests, reasoning that stopping there is pointless because they are only three hours from home. Pottstown is roughly 40 miles from Philadelphia. It certainly wouldn't take three hours to get to one location from the other under normal driving conditions.

Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Dylan is asking Topanga out, his locks of hair alternate between being by his face and behind his ear.
