10 mistakes in season 6 - chronological order

(16 votes)

Reese Comes Home - S6-E1

Plot hole: If Reese had gone AWOL on his mission, he'd be sent to jail upon returning to America, or at least arrested for using false ID to join the army in the first place.

Pearl Harbor - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: Lois and Jessica enter the house after coming back from going to a musical. As Lois comes through the door her purse slips off her shoulder and she catches it around her elbow. In the next shot a second later, the purse is back up on her shoulder. (00:16:00)

Lois Battles Jamie - S6-E8

Other mistake: When Reese lights the fuse for the fireworks, Malcolm says the fuse is timed for 20 seconds. When the diving board collapses on Reese, it is around 30 seconds after the fuse is lit before the fireworks start.

Living Will - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: In Season 2: Episode 15, when Francis and a group of people are volunteering at the Lucky Aid, Craig mentions to them that he might've accidentally mailed the marked inventory numbers to his mother. However, in this episode, Craig has never seen or interacted with his mother because his father told him when he was a child that she passed away.

No Motorcycles - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: Francis calls Hal out to the driveway where two motorcycles are parked. In the first camera shot the motorcycles are parked side by side with the front wheels turned in the same direction. All subsequent shots of the motorcycles in the driveway show them in a different position, one angled behind the other, with the front wheels turned in opposite directions.

Opening theme song: Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the question? You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big. You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big. Life is unfair.
