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.

Randall's Reform - S1-E18

Factual error: At the end when Ms. Finster tells Randall to give her the names of the kids involved with the ball incident, she says to list them in alphabetical order. The first name Randall says is "Dettweiler, T.J." But "Blumberg, Mikey" would actually come before that, and given what we know of Randall, this isn't the kind of mistake he is likely to make.

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.

Suggested correction: Not really. It definitely sounds like Spinelli due to how he screams the line, but it's not Spinelli's voice. Something similar happens a moment earlier in the episode, when Mikey screams, "Win, win, win!" His voice gets a bit raspy, similar to Spinelli's raspy voice, but those aren't the same voices. Also, I don't know why they would have Pamela Adlon (Spinelli's voice actor) record that one line for Mikey anyway.

Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: After getting off the school bus, when Gus falls into the hole that Sam has dug in front of the school, he's wearing his watch as usual. As Gus sits up, his watch vanishes mid-shot; then it reappears on his wrist.

Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: After Upside-Down Girl tells TJ he must do something about Dave, when the gang look for Sam and discuss the situation with him, the clock over the school doors repeatedly changes time between shots. Then, when Sam grabs the shovel and jumps back into the hole, the two hands of the clock vanish, only to reappear and change time yet again.

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

Continuity mistake: The gang hatches a plan and tells Dave that Sam is trapped in a cave-in, so Dave begins digging to save him. When Sam and Spinelli return with their ice cream cones, Sam's gloves vanish and reappear a couple of times while he is holding his ice cream.

Randall's Friends - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: When Randall's dad is talking to the gang about what Randall has been telling him about them (when they are outside, in front of the bouncy thing), his moustache disappears mid-sentence (in a close-up of him) and reappears when he is shown again.

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.

Call Me Guy - S4-E10

Factual error: When Gus walks in, all kinds of kids have their backpacks on, like they just got there. Then Jordan asks Gus when he got there, which was 7:58, just a couple of minutes ago. Then TJ says, "Who's up for some kickball?" But it is already after 8:00, meaning they would be late.

The Big Prank - S4-E2

Plot hole: Why did Mikey jump to make the feathers fly if Vince said to abort? When TJ gets hit by the feathers, he's on the 'X marks the spot.' But when he got honeyed, he was nowhere near it. Before TJ gets feathered, He gets up onto his feet, like he had fallen down. But he was still standing when Mikey fired the feathers.

Suggested correction: Mikey jumped because he didn't hear Vince's direction in time. After Spinelli and Vince spray T.J. with honey, T.J. is off screen for about 5 seconds. There was time for him to fall down on the X and get back up.

The Shiner - S3-E9

Factual error: In the beginning, right before the class is noticing TJ's shiner, Ms. Grotke says, "Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President..." which is true, but on the poster behind her, it says "Abraham Lincoln, 14th President."

Suggested correction: Incorrect. The poster correctly reads, "Abraham Lincoln, 16th President."

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.

Miss Muriel P Finster: I'd call you a pack of wild animals, but even wild animals don't throw food. Except for monkeys. But you're not monkeys, are you? No, you're children, children who act like monkeys.
