Das Boob - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The art show is supposed to take place at the Zelman gallery and inside there is a sign that says that, but the establishing shot shows that the name is the Phyllis Kind gallery.

Whose Mom is It Anyway? - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the episode, Will is pouring some wine. First, he pours a full glass and hands it to Grace, then he begins to pour another glass that obviously already has wine in it. He then hands this to Grace and takes an empty glass from her to fill, which he already filled (there is no sign that she already drank the wine in the glass). (00:01:55)

Whose Mom is It Anyway? - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Will and his date are having dinner at Will's flat, will pours his date a glass of wine into an empty glass that the date is holding out. When the shot changes the date is holding a full glass near his chest, and when the shot changes again, Will is still filling it up.

To Serve and Disinfect - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: After Grace plays Karen's adult video, Karen drops her compact, and powder spills all out of it onto the table. In following shots the powder on the desk changes position and vanishes. In addition the compact case also moves too, and when Karen dropped it onto the table it snapped shut but in a following shot it is open again. (00:50:00)

To Serve and Disinfect - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The level of vodka in the bottle that Karen grabs from the sill changes, from after she pours some into the pencil pot (in this shot it is nearly half empty) to when she leaves (it is now nearly full up to the top.) (00:51:00 - 00:52:05)

Homo for the Holidays - S2-E7

Plot hole: Will and Jack are out on the patio talking about the first time they met at a party (implying in college) and how Jack convinced Will to come out, but in S1E6 Jack talks about Will's favorite book in elementary school. I am re-watching the show now, and I am sure they have a conversation about hanging out as kids. Makes no sense. Time 1 is season 1 and time 2 is for Season 2. (00:06:33 - 00:13:10)

Suggested correction: I just re-watched the scene you referenced from Season 1. Jack is talking to Grace and is throwing out random Will trivia. He never said he knew Will in elementary school, just that he knows what Will's favorite book was when he was in elementary school. There is no plot hole with this statement.

Homo for the Holidays - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jack is lying on the table, with the huge bowl on his face, the position of the boxes behind him on the table changes a few times. In one shot they're half hanging off of the table, in the next shot they're fully on the table etc. (01:08:15)

Homo for the Holidays - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Grace is preparing the food for the thanksgiving dinner, she unwraps the plastic wrapping from the bowl of cranberries, and scrunches it into a ball. In the next shot she holds it and it is unwrapped and not a ball anymore. (01:10:25)

Karen: Gosh, I don't think that I've ever been stressed out. Why would I be? I've got practically no responsibilities, my job's a breeze and I've got a killer rack! Good morning!

Grandpa Jack - S9-E4

Question: This is a question without a knowable answer. But I wonder if anyone has thoughts as to why we hear nothing of Elliot's mother? Jack and Elliot are estranged. Elliot's mother, Bonnie (originally played by Rosie O'Donnell), acknowledged to Jack that she is a lesbian in the original run of the series. So, when Elliot marries a conservative woman, moves to Texas, and makes plans to send his gay son to a gay conversion camp, where is Bonnie in all of this?
