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.

The Great Can Drive - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: Right after TJ and friends are looking at the "thermometers" of cans, the Ashleys have at least 4 crates of cans that they bring in on forklifts. However, the end result is 4,362 cans for the Ashleys. This may seem kind of picky, but I think there was more cans than 4,362.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This is literally just an assumption, and nothing else. 4,362 is a pretty huge number, and with the amount of cans that we see the Ashleys collect in the episode, combined with the amount of cans that they and the rest of Miss Furley's class collected off-screen, it is perfectly believable that Miss Furley's class would end up collecting that amount of cans.
