One Stayed Clean - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Near the end, Gus is standing between the two handball walls. He is looking back at TJ and Lawson, who are near the first wall. But as the camera pans out, TJ and Lawson have moved to the other handball wall.

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.

The Rules - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Spinelli gets the ball to play in the field behind the trees, you can see lines that would indicate that the ball was a basketball. However, when the kids are playing kickball, it's obviously a kickball.

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.

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 Big Prank - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: In the time before King Bob tells his story about being the Prankster Prince, no one is on the jungle gym except TJ and his friends. But after Bob finishes, around 20 kids are on the jungle gym, plus TJ and co. There was not enough time for ALL those kids to get on top of the jungle gym from the time King Bob started his story to the time he finished.

Pharaoh Bob - S2-E12

Factual error: The history teacher who gives King Bob the idea about the pyramids says, "After over 4,000 years, we still know their names: Ramses...Amenhotep." But Amenhotep never built a pyramid, he built great complexes. No pyramids.

Randall's Friends - S4-E12

Factual error: When Gretchen is typing the pardon on Mrs. Lemon's typewriter, the paper that she is typing on doesn't go up and out of the typewriter gradually as it should. It goes up all at once when she's almost done typing.

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.
