Recess

The New Kid - S1-E2

Other mistake: At the start when the gang change the time on the clock in the classroom, it wouldn't control the main school clock, plus in every other episode the clock has been operated by The Box on the side of the school, as shown in " The spy who came into the playground".

The Kid Came Back - S1-E12

Other mistake: In the episode, "the peanut butter kid", he is always eating his sandwich and it always seems like he only took a bite out of it and sometimes it went all the way back to the top. How could that be, he couldn't be chewing the entire time.

Suggested correction: It's not true. After Gus "changed" the kindergartners he was sent away from school.

This correction misses the point of the mistake. In "Recess: All Growed Down," when Gus moves to the school, the kindergartners are shown as "normal," but then Gus changes them to be wild, and they start to have torn clothes and paint on them. However, in the flashback scene in this episode, it shows the gang meeting on the first day (excluding Gus), and they have torn clothes and paint on them. This doesn't make sense because they only became that way when Gus moved to the school.

The Biggest Trouble Ever - S4-E13

Other mistake: When the court hearing is taking place, T.J. wears a tie with blue and red stripes. As T.J. says to the mayor, "Sorry, sir, may I say something?", the stripes on his tie change to the opposite color for one frame (not counting the stripes on the knot).

Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Other mistake: At lunch, when Sam is using a spoon to shape his mashed potatoes on the tray, his right arm clips through the tray just as he says, "Maybe I should clear out the east wall like this." Then, when Sam says, "Maybe I should fortify the south side first," he's using the spoon to move the mashed potatoes on top of the tray, but his arm and spoon are under the tray, so it looks as if the potatoes move on their own. Additionally, when Sam states that he's so confused, the spoon held up in his right hand appears to vanish in the next shot.

Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Other mistake: When the Ashleys are playing jacks, Ashley B is wearing her usual yellow sweater, but in the next shot, it becomes red, the wrong colour. It goes back to yellow in the next shot.

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.
