Pharaoh Bob - S2-E12

Factual error: The history teacher who gives King Bob the idea about the pyramids says, "After over 4,000 years, we still know their names: Ramses...Amenhotep." But Amenhotep never built a pyramid, he built great complexes. No pyramids.

The Hypnotist - S2-E13

Character mistake: When the kids are walking through the hallway, on the magician's poster, it says that he does Bar Mitzvahs. But the 'z' is missing, so it says Bar Mitvahs.

Mama's Girl - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When Spinelli goes to sit with the other kids at lunch, there is a kid in a red shirt sitting behind T.J, eating his lunch with his spoon. When Spinelli slaps her tray away from her, this kid's right arm is now suddenly resting next to his tray, and his spoon disappears from his hand. He then changes the position of his body and hands, and in the next shot, he's back to his original position.

Mama's Girl - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: After Miss Grotke avoids the mud puddle, a kid says, "Spinelli just called Miss Grotke Mama!" In this shot, Ashley Q is near the left side of the screen, Ashley B is near the right, and the other two Ashleys are nowhere to be seen. In the next shot, all four Ashleys are suddenly shown together, laughing.

Omega Kids - S2-E16

Factual error: In the beginning, when everything on the playground is swamped out, there is a see-saw in the front of the playground doors. It is never ever seen again in an episode of Recess. For example, in "The Great Jungle Gym Standoff", Ms. Finster comes out those doors and asks T.J. what he is doing.

Dance Lessons - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: In Mikey's flashback, when Mikey's father enters the house, he is not wearing an undershirt. Two shots later, he is wearing a blue undershirt under his collared shirt (either that, or his skin is miscoloured), which disappears in the next shot. His belt buckle also changes from dark blue to light blue, and his necklace changes design when little Mikey jumps on him.

Dance Lessons - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: At the dance class, when Mademoiselle asks where the new girl (Spinelli) is, the girls point to the curtains, and there is a shot of the curtains with a door on the right side of them. Later on, Mikey enters the class through that door, which is now on the opposite side of the curtains.

Principal for a Day - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: When TJ makes the morning announcements, in the first scene of the classroom we see a boy in a blue hat sitting in the back row. After TJ says that the kids can refuse to answer a teacher, the same kid is suddenly sitting in the second row so he can slap hands with someone in the first row.
