A Man's Teeth Are Not His Own - S2-E13
Corrected entry: Rob is in the middle of eating a sandwich. You can't break a tooth on a sandwich unless it's frozen, cement, glass or made of ice.

The Great Petrie Fortune - S5-E6
Corrected entry: If Rob was just 12 or 13 when he last saw his grandfather (that's what they said in this episode, also he never called his grandfather ever from what it looks like) then his grandfather wouldn't know that he has been working on a TV program. (He started working on the Alan Brady show when he was 20, not before).
Correction: First of all, it is Rob's great-uncle, not his grandfather. And what makes you think he wouldn't know? Off the top of my head, I can think of a dozen ways he could have known. He was watching the show and saw Rob's name in the credits. His brother called him to brag about his grandson. He read a magazine article about television comedy writers. Etc. Etc.

The Ballad of the Betty Lou - S3-E9
Corrected entry: Laura tells coast guard that their number is 636-9970. Which also happens to be their zip code - the "69970" in case anyone was wondering.
Correction: There is no 69970 zip code in the U.S. If there was, it would probably be in or near Nebraska not New York. New York zip codes range from 00501 to 14925.
Not real-life zip code. In the show, it was stated that their zip code was the same as their phone number.

The Blonde-Haired Brunette - S1-E2
Corrected entry: In the 1st episode there are about 20 pictures behind the writers desk. Next episode... Gone, replaced with a giant bookshelf and a bunch of scripts. The bookshelf was behind the couch in the 1st episode.
Correction: So they got a new bookshelf between episodes. Or they moved it from another, unseen part of the room.
I fixed it.
Correction: Rob specifically said he broke the tooth on a chicken bone that was in the sandwich.
Now, how did the bone get in the sandwich in the first place? Also, there was no blood either.
Liz Blue 1970
The bone got in there because someone was sloppy preparing the chicken. Why would there be blood? The tooth only has blood vessels in the innermost part (the pulp). You would only bleed if the tooth was completely knocked out. I know this from personal experience. I happened to have a broken tooth just this week (weakened from an old filling). This is at least the third time this has happened to me. Never had any bleeding.
