Other mistake: Having thought that the kids were in trouble, or away when Jason and Maggie go away for the weekend, they call the next door neighbor to check on them and have them call them back at the hotel that they are staying, but they did not give a phone number to be called. A few minutes later, they call the police as there was no answer - and Maggie says "Jason, you didn't even give them a number to call us back" - but they didn't give the number to the neighbor, and the police would more than likely have it for caller ID reasons.
Growing Pains (1985)
1 other mistake in season 1 - chronological order
Starring: Kirk Cameron, Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns, Jeremy Miller
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Jason is holding the newspaper. He starts to hand it to Maggie, the shot changes, and she is already holding the paper.
Kate: I don't eat anything with a face.
Dwight: Well, I cut it off.
Trivia: In one episode when Jason and Maggie are arguing, one of the kids comes in and said "Have you seen dad?" - and Mike responds with "Tall guy, good hair, looks like a talk show host?" - the next person comes in and asks if they have seen mom, and Mike said "Blonde, pretty, looks like Donna Devorona?" (who was an Olympian at that time). Jason (Alan Thicke) used to have a talk show in Canada called Thick of the Night, and Joanna Kerns is the sister of Olympian Donna Devorona.
