Double Date - S1-E12

Other mistake: When Rory and Lane get caught at the movies, Lorelai said she will not lie to Mrs. Kim because she has to respect that Mrs. Kim doesn't want Lane to do something. In reality, Lane is allowed to do things Mrs. Kim would not approve of all the time i.e. Listening to ungodly music, eating pizza, wearing different clothes.

Concert Interruptus - S1-E13

Visible crew/equipment: While Rory has the girls over to work on the debate, when Lorelai and Rory walk into the living room with the Pop-Tarts, just as Lorelai tells them about going to the Bangles concert we can see filming equipment at the left side of the screen. (00:23:45)

That Damn Donna Reed - S1-E14

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai takes the ice bucket into the kitchen trying to evade Emily's questions about Luke, just as Emily tells her that Luke is always around when Lorelai's in trouble, on the glass cabinet there's a visible reflection of the boom operator moving around, while holding the boom. (00:39:10)

That Damn Donna Reed - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai and Luke are in Luke's Diner to choose the color for the walls, Luke turns around the 'closed'-sign on the door. In this shot the venetian blind at the door is quite messed-up; partly closed, partly opened. In the following shot, where all the people are standing outside Luke's Diner looking through the windows, the venetian blind is orderly and completely opened.

That Damn Donna Reed - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: In the first scene when Dean brings pizza and they are discussing about Donna Reed, in one shot Lorelai is opening the pizza box and she and Rory take a piece and start eating while they are talking. In the following shot, the piece of pizza in Lorelai's hand is gone and Rory takes a piece from the box - you can see that the pizza is complete again.

The Breakup, Part 2 - S1-E17

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai and Rory are in the kitchen talking about the to-do list, the camera is visible in the reflection on the microwave. You can see the cameraman's hand rotating the control to move the camera as Lorelai sits down. (00:07:20)

The Breakup, Part 2 - S1-E17

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai and Rory are trying to get to Luke's they wind up in the alley, and in the next shot inside Luke's we can see the reflection of the moving camera on the glass door, behind the guy wearing a blue check flannel vest. (00:11:50)

Emily In Wonderland - S1-E19

Emily: Well, uh, Rory, I don't think I wore the right shoes for the grand tour. Why don't we just drive?
Rory: You can borrow some of my mom's shoes.
Emily: Oh, no, I don't think so. Rory hold on a minute.
Rory: Grandma, you will be missing the true Stars Hollow experience if you don't walk. Trust me.
Emily: All right, but I won't wear anything with rhinestones or zebra stripes or anything that has batteries or that sings or make animal noises or moves on its own.

Trivia: In some episodes, Rory speaks Spanish (e.g when she is talking to her grandmother's maid). She speaks very poorly, typical "school-Spanish". This is just acting; Spanish is actually Alexis Bledel's first language. Her mother is from Mexico and her father is from Argentina.

Show generally

Question: Does Lane live with both her parents? I've heard her talk about "parents" in plural but I've never seen her father, nor heard anyone talk about him. Anyone who knows?

Answer: Yes, Lane lives with both her parents. Her father does live with them, but he was only seen in the Netflix revival.
