As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When Cory is telling Topanga that he wants to be sure Wile E. Coyote will be all right, you can see a single piece of popcorn on the right side of the microwave stand in the background. When the camera switches back to Cory after Topanga assures him he's always all right, the piece of popcorn is now gone. The amount of popcorn on Cory's shirt also decreases in both aforementioned shots. (00:02:15)

As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When the noir version of Shawn is asking Topanga what she's running from, the pot of coffee is next to his left arm near the edge of his side of the bar, and the coffee mug is slightly to the left of the crease in the bartop. When the shot changes after she asks him what he means, the mug is now directly over the crease, and the pot is in the center of the bar between the two of them. (00:06:53)

As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When Cory enters the noir world and uncovers Topanga's corpse, you can see her left hand is draped over her stomach. After the noir version of Cory confesses to the murder, the cloth covering her body is now suddenly covering more of her torso, including the left hand. (00:17:53 - 00:19:15)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The age gap between Eric and Cory decreases as the series progresses. At the start of the show, Cory is in 6th grade and Eric is a high school sophomore, meaning they are four years apart, give or take a few months. By season 3, Cory is in 9th grade (confirmed by dialogue mentioning that Shawn, who is in the same grade as Cory, is 15 years old), and Eric is a senior, leading to an age gap of three years. The first episode of season 4 takes place a couple months after the end of season 3, with Eric and Cory returning from a summer Road Trip, but just two episodes later, Cory mentions that he is in 11th grade, while Eric is still barely out of high school, leading to an age gap of two years.

Me and Mr. Joad - S2-E4

Mr. Feeny: I realise that all you 7th-graders are delicate, adolescent flowers, just beginning your high school blooming. And so I say this with utmost sensitivity: take this test, or die!

Show generally

Question: Topanga said in one episode that she has a weird middle name, did she ever say what it is?

Answer: Topanga's middle name is never specified. Considering her sister's name is Nebula Stop-the-war Lawrence, Topanga's is probably something equally unusual.
