Correction: Perhaps the music we hear is simply from a trailer for Titanic, followed by the ninety minute film which gave Will so much trouble.

Correction: That's just a turn of phrase - she may well have dozed off sporadically but to all intents and purposes she got no sleep.

The Buying Game - S1-E8

Corrected entry: When Jack goes back to Karen's place for the last time to tell her that he no longer wants to massage her, he says "I took an oath in front of God and my mother, I'm here, I'm Queer get used to it." But his mother doesn't know that he's gay until they mention it in "Homo for the Holidays" in Season 2. (00:19:15)

FernyBoy

Correction: He doesn't mean he stated it to his mother directly, it is like swearing on someone's soul or grave, you don't actually place your hand on anything. It is just a figure of speech.

Rlvlk

Correction: In one of the shots of Jack from behind, you can see his hand removing the napkin from his shirt and placing it on the table.

Acting Out - S2-E14

Corrected entry: When Jack is first talking to Sally at NBC, she is wearing a red hat with a brim. Later on when Will comes to the office she is wearing a dark purple turban. This is caused by a deleted scene. (00:13:25 - 00:14:40)

Hamster

Correction: There is a scene with Grace in between these shots, and Sally has plenty of time to change her hat.

pinkwafer

Correction: She does fall before she catches it- but this is because she trips trying to catch it, and then the weight of the pumpkin adds to her own momentum.

Crazy in Love - S3-E13

Corrected entry: At one point, Karen tells Jack that she had her mother committed, which doesn't make any sense because in the next season, in "Someplace Old, Something New", Suzanne Pleshette debuts as Karen's Mother, Lois Whitley, and we learn that Karen was estranged from Lois due to Lois' con artist ways.

Correction: Yes, Karen was estranged from her mother due to her con artist ways. She didn't want her friends to know her mom was a con artist and that she had helped her, so it's quite possible she just made up the commitment part to explain why none of them ever saw or heard of her mother.

Sex, Losers and Videotape - S5-E20

Corrected entry: Season 5, Episode "Sex, Losers and Videotape." Grace is trying her darndest to make a sexy video to send to Leo - why? He's working on a viral outbreak in sub-saharan Africa, and he told Grace in an earlier episode "these people don't have running water." Doesn't make sense that his precious cargo of food and medicine would include a VCR, even if electricity is on hand.

JustJudy

Correction: Given that Grace is not all that smart and has previously shown very little understanding of how poor conditions are for Leo (in "Fagmalion Part Two: Attack of the Clones") she might not realise that he won't be able to watch the video. Alternatively, if she had, she could easily have sent him the camcorder as well, which would allow him to watch it. Either way it's not a mistake.

Shay

Correction: Grace quickly picks up the scattered dishes right before she opens the door.

Bacon & Eggs - S5-E2

Corrected entry: Season 5, Episode "Bacon and Eggs." After multiple rejections, Grace finally decides to call Leo. She pulls his business card out of her wallet, presumably to look up his number, but barely glances at the card as she dials. (This would be plausible if she memorized his number, but if so, why pull the card out?)

JustJudy

Correction: She was looking through all the cards to see if there was anyone worth dating. when she saw his card she pulled to ponder whether to date him, not to find his number.

Gypsies, Tramps and Weed - S3-E7

Corrected entry: Will's mum sends over a collar belonging to his old dog, Daisy, who he apparently thought he would have for the rest of his life, and he was really upset when she died (while he was at college). But in "The Truth About Will And Dogs" (Season 1) Grace is trying to persuade him that they should get a dog together, and Will states that he doesn't like dogs.

Correction: That's WHY he doesn't like dogs: Daisy dying broke his heart and he never wants to go through that again.

Season 6 generally

Corrected entry: At the end of the episode (6-3), Will's mother finds a video in his apartment whose title she describes as "Splendor in the Grass, with the G-R missing." The only problem is that "Splendor in the Ass" really is the title of a pornographic film, but it's a straight film - not a gay one like Will would own. (I looked it up on the Internet, I swear.)

DavidK93

Correction: "Splendor in the Ass", if you look on search engines, is also a title of a gay video/DVD. If you include Gay in your search along with the title you will probably find it.

Dan Moat

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode 'Cheaters, part 2' Karen and Jack are tailing Stan. Every time Driver starts the car quickly they fall forwards off their seats, but this wouldn't happen in real life. The sudden forward motion would make them fall backwards into their seats.

Shay

Correction: They are both thrown back in their seats first, and in an attempt to sit straight again, push foward. When the limo slows down, they are thrown foward and onto the floor.

Karen: Good Lord. I can't believe I'm at a public pool. Why doesn't somebody just pee directly on me?

Election - S2-E2

Trivia: In the scene where the they are having a tenants meeting, the woman on the sofa tells Will that someone "stole" her umbrella, she says it's similar to the one Tim Kaiser has, and Tim Kaiser happens to be the show producer's name.

Fanilow - S6-E10

Question: Will and the others are in line to buy Barry Manilow tickets when the box office opens at 6:00 a.m. the next morning (it is established that the episode takes place before midnight) and at one point Rudy states that the show is "tomorrow night." My question: is it common in New York for a fairly popular performer to sell tickets only on the day of the show? I live in Southern California and I can't think of a single time I've heard of a concert headliner selling tickets less than a month before the show.

JustJudy

Chosen answer: I'm not from New York so I can't speak for them, but in Chicago it has happened before. not very often though but I do recall it happening. I have also seen no tickets sold prior to the show at all, it was just first come first served the night of the show. That is very uncommon though.
