Helen's Job - S2-E13

Factual error: After Mr. Roper stirs Jack's batter, Jack pours it into the cake pan and then opens the oven, leaving plenty of batter residue inside the mixing bowl, which a professional chef student would never do.

Boy Meets Dummy - S6-E9

Factual error: In this episode, Jack asks Felipe how he can bring Mr. Angelino to The Apartment, in which he answers "We took the Santa Monica freeway to the Cloverfield exit." The Cloverfield exit is in reality, a good 2 miles or so from the beach (2 other exits are much closer to beach than this). Yet throughout the series, it is implied that The Apartment is very close to the beach (3 blocks is stated by Jack in a much earlier episode). Why a far exit for a beach-area apartment?

Suggested correction: Correcting my own entry: I just recently saw this episode for the first time in a long time. Felipe actually says the "Centinela" exit (not "Cloverfield"). Technically this even adds to the mistake as it is one exit even FURTHER from the beach area apartment. Now 3 miles away exiting (instead of 2 as previously submitted).

Jack, Be Quick - S8-E1

Factual error: Jack takes Cheryl's phone off the hook and puts it down, but while the two are talking throughout the two-minute scene, the phone does not make the loud annoying buzzes that occur after 30 seconds or so from the phone being off the hook (which happened back in the years the show aired).

Up in the Air - S6-E25

Revealing mistake: During Jack's dance scene, the old lady that he dances with spins away from him and knocks off a man's toupee. The actress was supposed to knock it off as she went by, but it's obvious that she misses and instead quickly reaches over to snatch it off his head instead.

Mate for Each Other - S6-E26

Trivia: In the episode where Janet asks Jack if she's a bad kisser, take a look at Janet when he kisses her. Jack unexpectedly slip Janet his tongue (which surprises the audience as well) and that throws Janet off and shocks her. Her surprised face is not acting, and was really surprised he did that. You'll also notice that when they part, she can't keep a straight face.

Suggested correction: This does not happen, their kiss is closed and for 2 seconds and Janet doesn't ask about her kissing. She says before the kiss when they have few mishaps trying to kiss before the final kiss that no-one has ever picked her kissing before and his response was, "Just shut up and kiss me!" She responds, "Okay fine!" Then they kiss, mouth closed just lips.

A Man About the House - S1-E1

Question: I never understood the meaning of the dialogue in a scene with the Ropers in the first episode. Stanley says to Helen something like "Too bad you're not from India - you'd be sacred there." Helen then comes back by saying "and contented." What did both of these phrases mean?

Answer: Mr. Roper was basically comparing Mrs. Roper to a cow, which is a sacred and highly revered animal among Hindus; Mrs. Roper's retort meant that she wasn't happy with her marriage or current station in life, so she'd be happier as a cow in India.
