The Case of the Missing Blonde - S5-E21

Plot hole: After being stuck inside the phone booth, the police officer arrests Larry for vandalism after Larry breaks the glass in the phone booth. In a real-world situation, an officer would most likely let someone go without arrest if the person got stuck inside like that (declaring an emergency) and couldn't get out without breaking the glass.

The Not-So-Great Imposter - S5-E9

Plot hole: All these characters (the bookie, policemen, the sister, the husband) were after David Miller and all come to attack Jack in some way (thinking Jack is David Miller). However, a big city like LA most likely has several David Millers so why would they all assume this David Miller is the one they're looking for? So even though Jack's name could have been David Miller, how would everyone think he is the one they're looking for?

Suggested correction: These are questions, not plot holes. First, Jack and the restaurant are in Santa Monica, not LA. At the time, Santa Monica had a population of around 88,000. While the article was printed in the LA Times, there wouldn't be a lot of famous, professional chefs, working/living in Santa Monica named David Miller.

Mistakes

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.

Trivia

Trivia: Once the first season with Terri started, Cindy no longer had "Snow" mentioned as her last name for the remainder of the episodes she was in (possibly due to the fact that this was the first season that started without Suzanne Somers completely and the producers wanted to retire the "Snow" surname altogether).

Questions

Show generally

Question: In the second episode Chrissy's mother comes to visit. In future episodes her father comes to visit - who is an actual "father" (i.e. priest). Aren't priests forbidden to be married?

ckbyers

Answer: He's not a Catholic priest. He's a pastor, with the title Reverend, at a community church who chooses to wear a clerical collar. Some people still address pastors as "Father" though. I'm not sure of his religious denomination, but most pastors can marry.

Bishop73

Answer: Yes Pastors can marry... I was asking for Priests since his collar appears to be that of a Catholic descent.

Some protestant pastors wear the clerical collar as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_collar.
