Other mistake: When Dick is up in the tree fort, the aliens are looking at him through their hand binoculars, but the image is taken from the same height as Dick. However, since he is higher than they are, they would be seeing him at an angle. The view as seen would be impossible unless they were at the same height as he was.

Suggested correction: What the camera shows is for the audience. It's not meant to be a POV shot of what the three are seeing.

Dick Puts the Id in Cupid - S5-E11
Other mistake: While talking to his therapist, Dick tells her that one of the mishaps that he caused in his relationship with Mary was showing up to a fundraiser naked. While true, this doesn't happen until Episode 13 (Rutherford Beauty) - two episodes later. This was due to the fact that most of Season 5 was aired out of production order.

Suggested correction: The show was produced in the right order, so this isn't a mistake. Being aired out of order isn't a mistake of the show. It should be noted that for each of the 6 season, episodes were constantly aired out of order.

Dick Is From Mars, Sally Is From Venus - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: In this episode Dick decides that Tommy has to go to school, but in 1-2 "Post Nasal Dick" Tommy already goes to school.

Suggested correction: That's just because these episodes were aired out of order of their production. "Dick Is From Mars, Sally Is From Venus" was the 2nd episode produced (production code 102) while "Post Nasal Dick" was the 5th episode produced (production code 105).

The Thing That Wouldn't Die (2) - S6-E20
Corrected entry: At the end of the show the aliens leave and Dick chops Mary's neck to supposedly help her forget he ever existed. However, what about all the others? It makes no sense to make Mary forget them when everyone else would still remember them. How could she explain not knowing Dick when she would invariably have his stuff around or hear others talking about them?
