Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: After it is explained that without Dave, Sam is unfocused, you see that he has dug holes just about everywhere. However, after that scene, all the holes disappear.

Schoolworld - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: When Gus gets locked out of the school after recess, he asks SAL to open the hallway door. He looks up at the clock, and the time on it is 10.46.05 (then goes up to 10.46.08 by the end of the shot). A few seconds later, the time changes to 18.46.16, then 10.46.17, then 10.45.18.

Suggested correction: He does, but this is simply a mistake Menlo makes as a character. And it is not a 'character mistake'; I can see many people making a very simple mistake like this while playing hopscotch. I know I probably have as a kid. Also, he lands on an 8 square, not a 10 square.

The Secret Life of Grotke - S4-E32

Plot hole: In the scene where T.J. and his pals are trying to find the password to the building, they are using a cup telephone. When the man talks, they can hear him, but when the kids talk, the men on the other side can't hear them.

Good Ole T.J. - S4-E40

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Gretchen says she's short on money, so she can't get a chocolate milk, just a white milk. But, when T.J. walks by with his food, Gretchen has a chocolate milk, such is evident from the brown carton.

Suggested correction: Gretchen tells the lunch lady that because she is one penny short, she will swap the chocolate milk (in her hand) for a regular. She puts the milk on her tray and walks off screen. Then, when T.J. walks past her, the camera pans over to Gretchen watching T.J. with that same chocolate milk on her tray she is holding. Gretchen got distracted by T.J.'s encounter with the lunch lady and stopped to watch him, but she was still going to swap the chocolate milk for a regular later on.

Beyond a Reasonable Scout - S5-E3

Other mistake: Phil the Scout ties a rope to Mikey's see-saw end's handle to lower Gus down without hurting him. Couldn't Mikey just climb off and hold the see-saw down with his hands and lowered Gus's end down slowly?

Big Ol' Mikey - S5-E6

Other mistake: When Gretchen tells Mikey, "I'd be happy to help with matters of enunciation and syntax, of course," the soles of Gretchen's shoes are brown, as they should be, but then they turn white mid-shot. The next time we see Gretchen, they are brown again.

Lawson and His Crew (2) - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: After Vince discovers that Mrs. Finster's new cactus is missing from the windowsill, we see that Swinger Girl has it with her, on top of the roof of the school. However, when the shot changes to the new group (With Lawson, Skeenz, Kurts, Menlow, and Randall) Swinger Girl is suddenly standing right next to them. There was not enough time for her to have climbed down from the roof.

Theodore J. 'T.J.' Detweiler: Never kid a kid who hasn't had his recess.
