Weenie Tot Lovers & Other Strangers - S5-E18
Revealing mistake: When Peg opens the last weenie tot box, notice that only a ticket falls out. Meaning all the boxes had no tots in them just tickets.

Married... with Children (1987)
Plot hole: Al can't eat because his mouth is numb. So they go ahead and eat. Al can eat after the novocaine wears off and Peg can put leftovers in the fridge. They all act like Al can't eat for days and there won't be any food left.

Revealing mistake: Kelly is standing by the clock on the stairs. You can see Al and Peg's shadow on the wall waiting for Kelly to come up the steps, so they can come down. (00:02:59)

Married... with Children (1987)
Plot hole: In this episode Al is about to break Puggy Weaver's record. Peg decides to bowl and scores a perfect score of 300. Problem is Peg is a horrible bowler, as seen in season 2 episode 9. She never bowls with Al or even enjoys bowling, so this episode really makes no sense.

Suggested correction: This is not a plot hole, but a plot point. Yes, Peg is a horrible bowler, but it's typical Al Bundy luck that his wife would be able to put together a perfect game no matter how unlikely.
So this one and only episode she scores a perfect game? Highly unlikely. Oh and she's wearing a long evening dress too which would make it difficult to bowl. So this episode makes no sense.
It makes perfect sense. In the world of the show, the universe is out to screw Al over. The worst that can possibly happen to him will happen no matter how unlikely.
It is a comedy, so having all those "strikes" against her, she still managed to bowl a perfect game - leaving Al hopeless and hapless.

Master the Possibilities - S2-E16
Factual error: Buck may have got a credit card in the mail but Al would've got jail time for credit card fraud considering he signed Buck Bundy on all the receipts.

Dead Men Don't Do Aerobics - S4-E2
Other mistake: Jim Jupiter stays with Peg for a week. 6 days later he's shown heavier than he was before. You don't gain that much weight in 6 days.

Other mistake: Depending on the season the Bundys' address is 9764 Jeopardy Lane. Season 4 the address is 9674. But in the opening credits when Steve is shown on his porch the address is 9674. (00:00:20)

So This is How Sinatra Felt - S6-E12

Master the Possibilities - S2-E16
Factual error: A credit card company doesn't send random cards to just anyone. One comes for Buck. First of all you need a social security number, proof of income etc. And looking at what Al and Peg bought, it's an unlimited card.

Suggested correction: Decades ago (including the 1980s when this show aired), credit cards were sometimes sent to almost anyone - or "anything", such as a family's dog. People used to joke about actually getting a credit card for their cats, dogs, infant children, etc. Credit card representatives also went on campuses to lure "unemployed" students into getting credit cards by offering a free gift. They hoped college students would buy what they wanted or needed and parents would bail them out (pay the bills).
Suggested correction: It should be pointed out that credit card companies, especially in the past, do send out random cards (and offers). They buy customer information from stores from various sources, like warranty cards. People who have received credit cards for their pets (which has happened) have often filled out warranty cards with their pets' name but the rest of the information is the person's.
And some of the "less than honest" recipients of unsolicited credit cards were able to use the cards practically immediately, so went on shopping sprees and charged thousands of dollars for whatever they wanted with no intention of paying or being identified. And not all college students had parents that would bail them out, resulting in huge losses. It took a while, but the credit card companies learned from their mistakes and made drastic changes to avoid getting ripped-off in the future.
