The Blonde Leading The Blind - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: In this episode, Karen doesn't want to get glasses because she thinks they make her look old. However, in a previous episode (S1E9) we see that she actually already wears glasses. In a scene where Jack asks her to read his script, she quickly puts on a pair of reading glasses.

A Little Christmas Queer - S8-E9

Continuity mistake: Shortly after arriving at their mother's house, Will's brother, Sam, nervously excuses himself from a conversation with Grace. "Excuse me," he says, "I have to go get a ladder. There's a couple of bulbs out in front, and now it just says 'Happy Ho-days.'" However, exterior shots of the front of the house show no holiday lights whatsoever.

No Sex 'N' The City - S6-E19

Character mistake: When talking to Will on the phone, Grace misuses the term "pied-à-terre" (which means "apartment" in French) instead of "pas de deux" (a dance for two) while describing the delicate and complex nature of a relationship between two gay men. When Will points out her error, she says she knows what pied-à-terre means because she took Spanish in high school. However, in season 1, episode 20 ("Saving Grace"), Grace correctly and easily used the term pied-à-terre while showing her sample book to a potential client.

The Finale - S8-E23

Continuity mistake: In Will and Grace's apartment, as Jack stands up to announce his news about Beverley, Will and Grace are cutting slices of cake and putting them on plates. In the next wide shot Karen (who is sitting on the sofa, away from them) had a plate with a slice of cake and a napkin, before Grace had even handed Jack any plates! (00:21:00)

Whatever Happened to Baby Gin? - S8-E22

Continuity mistake: When Karen is sitting with her sister Gin at the table in the bar, throughout the whole scene Gin's black purse and the bar menu she has continually change places. In some shots she holds the menu and the black purse is on the table. In some shots the menu is on the table and the purse is on her lap. And in some shots both items are on the table. (00:05:45)

Partners 'n' Crime - S8-E21

Buy Buy Baby - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Will and Jack are with George Takei before he goes on Jack-Talk, Will is holding his George doll box. When Jack walks over and says "So listen, George...", Will puts his left hand in his pocket. As Jack continues to say "...now the network asked...", Will now holds the doll box with both hands instantly. (00:15:25)

Buy Buy Baby - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Jack is presenting Jack-Talk and welcomes George Takei, and then Amber-Louise tells him that George got pushed back to tomorrows show, the pencils in the silver pot on Jack's desk continually change their arrangement between each shot. (00:06:05)

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?
