Recess

Schoolworld - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: The door to Miss Grotke's classroom opens inward throughout the episode. However, when SAL mimics Principal Prickly and tells all the teachers to report to his office, Miss Grotke leaves the classroom, and the door now opens outward. Then, when the kids look outside the classroom, the door has completely vanished.

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.

The Big Prank - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When TJ's friends climb on the jungle gym to try and take TJ's place, we see that Gretchen is the last one up and there is no-one on the bars behind her. But in the next long shot, Mikey is right behind her. Then when it shows a close-up of them, Mikey is gone again; then he reappears a moment later.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Across the show, the number of kids in a class/what kids are in which class varies. For example, in "The Great Can Drive", the Ashleys are in Ms. Furley's class. However, in almost every other episode besides this one, the Ashleys are all in Ms. Grotke's class, and the exception are a couple of episodes in which 2 Ashleys are in Ms. Grotke's class, and the other 2 Ashleys are in another class (which is not specified by name), making a serious consistency error.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, as Gus' dad walks away, the A/C duct goes way down the hallway, and one side is halfway in one tile and the other side is halfway on another tile. When Gus is talking, the duct is much shorter, and the whole duct is contained in one tile.

Good Luck Charm - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene where Spinelli shows off her jump roping skills, the two Ashleys swinging the rope quite awkwardly and choppily go from a normal to a surprised expression every second or so.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, after King Bob declares Gus as The New Kid, the kids are cheering and TJ and friends have disappeared from the shot. Then Gus looks down in front of him and the guys are right there in front of him.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, as Gus' dad walks away, there is a sign on the door to the right that says "Boys." I would assume this is a restroom. Then, two shots later, it shows Gus from his front and in place of that sign is a window.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Spinelli says, "Roger already, let's get this show on the road", there's a puffy cloud under "Good" in "Good Morning Gus". When Gus is in the bus and notices the billboard, the cloud is pushed in on the upper left part of it.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, right as Mrs. Grotke asks for Gus to describe his "personal journey", there is a short kid with a white t-shirt and dirty blonde hair, with the globe behind his head. As the kid asks if they can go to recess now, the globe has moved way to the left.

The Box - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When TJ is in The Box, he lays down and puts his head on his baseball glove. Then when he gets up, he doesn't pick it up, but it's nowhere to be seen. Then a couple of shots later, it's back, and it's on the other end.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, as Gus' dad walks away, the lights on the ceiling are 3 tiles apart. However, while Gus is describing his "personal journey," the lights are two tiles apart.
