(7 votes)

Bowl Me Over - S1-E21

Corrected entry: When the family arrives home from the bowling alley, it is dark and pouring rain. After the kids go to bed, Carl and Harriet go to the kitchen and talk. If you look out the windows, it's daylight.

Correction: It's not daylight. There is low lighting to convey street lights at night. The same lighting can be seen later on in better view when the Winslows open the backdoor as they return from their second bowling outing.

Two-Income Family - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When Eddie comes down the stairs to ask his father again about wanting new shoes, his father says no. Eddie goes back up the stairs. Next scene, Carl walks to the kitchen, and Eddie is sitting at the counter.

Correction: There are 2 stairs that lead upstairs and downstairs. One in the kitchen and one in the living room.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: From the outside of the house, you can see the staircase and door are to the far left of the house. But from inside the house, you have a fireplace and the staircase to the right of the door. So you know it's not the same house they use in the show.

Show generally

Question: In the mistakes section it mentions that Richie's mother, Rachel, and the Winslow's younger daughter, Judy, disappeared without a trace. Was there ever any explanation?

Answer: It is said that as Steve Urkel became a more popular character on the show, Judy became less important to the storylines, plus either her or her parents were demanding more money, causing her to be removed from the show entirely.

Answer: No. Call it "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome". A character is written off the show without any explanation at all.

Answer: She disappeared because Judy and Steve's actors, Jaimee Foxworth and Jaleel White, didn't get along with each other.
