Character mistake: When Ryan is recreating the chess game he and Mandy played, he has the chessboard setup incorrectly. He has the dark square on the lower right corner when it should be the white square. He was a junior grand master and would know better, especially since he had the board set up correctly when they were playing.

Question: Does this show have the "record" for most times they recast a main character? There's been 2 Ryans, 3 Boyds (not counting them as twins), 2 Kristins, 2 Mandys, and 2 Carol Larabees. I know there's countless shows with 1 or 2 recasts, but what other shows come close?

Continuity mistake: When Jim gets up to leave after being denied a loan, he doesn't open the door before turning around when Mike talks about co-signing. When it cuts to Jim as he says "forget it", the door is now opened, but closed the next time we see it.

Continuity mistake: The clip of Mandy meeting Kim K the news shows is different than what we originally saw. For example, originally Mandy yells "I'm going to give Kim Kardashian a hug. I rule!" But on the news it's "I'm going to give Kim Kardashian a hug, you guys."

Continuity mistake: The sandwich Mike makes changes after he cuts it, you can tell the lettuce is different. And in the last shot, the sandwich flips in his hand; he was holding it so the lettuce was on the bottom and in the last shot it's on top.

Trivia: When Vanessa is about to go outside to shoot arrows with Eve, Mike (Tim Allen) tells her to aim low so she doesn't shoot over the fence or she'll hit the "weird dude always giving me advice." He then covers his mouth with his hand. A reference to Wilson on Tim Allen's show "Home Improvement" and how the fence always covered the lower half of his face.

Gameday Forecast: Showers - S6-E2
Trivia: Ed states that everyone has to do what they did last year during the Broncos/Chargers game since the Broncos won that game and then ended up winning the Super Bowl. In this episode, which aired before the actual 2016 Broncos home game against the Chargers, it's implied the Broncos won (and a good sign they'll win the Super Bowl again.) The Broncos did beat the Chargers at home, however, they failed to make the playoffs.

Helen Potts - S4-E12
Trivia: In this episode, Patricia Richardson guest stars as Helen Potts. She played Tim Allen's wife on "Home Improvement", and there are plenty of inside jokes to reference "Home Improvement." Then, at the end, Jonathan Taylor Thomas appears as Helen's son, Randy and another joke ensues about how he looks familiar. Jonathan Taylor Thomas played Randy on "Home Improvement" and had already appeared several times in "Last Man Standing" playing John Baker, whom Mike already knows.
