Let's Go To The Videotape - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: The conversation Tim and the others have at the hardware store becomes a lot different when Jill sees the (supposedly) same conversation on videotape. First of all, Tim's remark the "Jill's speech was so boring" has become "Jill's speech was so DULL". Secondly, Eddie's entire tale on how his wife wanted to change the fabric in the sun room is missing from the tape. And third, when Tim is talking about Jill's psychology studies, the expression "these terms" has become "these USELESS terms".

Some Like It Hot Rod - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: When the hot rod is back in the garage covered in "snow" - look at the color of the car, along with the door when the door is open. There is plastic on the inside of the door (probably to get all of the snow off so quickly) and the color of the hot rod is a lighter shade of blue then normal.

A House Divided - S4-E18

Other mistake: Heidi turns off the gas, saying that the shutoff valve has to be moved perpendicular to the pipe to shut off the gas, which is correct. But Heidi actually moves it parallel to the pipe, which turns on the gas.

Talk To Me - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: When Jill drops the ball down the vent, there are 4 more balls in the stand. When she drops the second ball, there are only 2 balls in the stand, not 3.

Talk To Me - S4-E20

Visible crew/equipment: When Tim is singing the blues with Wilson who is playing the harmonica, as they finish the scene, you can see the shadow of the camera rising above the fence as the shot goes up.

Tool Time After Dark (2) - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: When Tim goes outside to talk to Wilson, the distinct three-looped straw he used is still standing in his antacid bottle. When he comes back inside, the bottle is on the table where it was, but the straw has disappeared.

Sisters And Brothers - S4-E24

Continuity mistake: In the opening segment, as Heidi hands Tim his hot-air gun, he takes it with both hands, then lets go with his left so he's only holding the gun in his right hand. The angle changes, and Tim is once again holding the gun with both hands, before he once again removes his left hand.

Al: Say, do you think they call it a nail gun because it shoots nails?
