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.

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 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.

Hustler's Apprentice - S4-E3

Plot hole: Hustler kid tells Gus in this episode that hustlers never deal in things that could get a kid in trouble. In the episode where all the kids need to become Ashley's he has no problem in handing out plenty of fake IDs, and at the beginning of every show he is shown displaying dodgy merchandise to a kid inside his jacket.(the kid isn't inside the jacket...the merchandise is...).

The Spy Who Came In from the Playground - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: When the superintendent arrives at the school, he looks towards Stone who gives him a thumbs up. When he does this, Stone and the group around him are on the steps right in front of the entrance to the school.

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.

Randall's Friends - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: When Randall's dad is talking to the gang about what Randall's 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 in the next shot.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Good Luck Charm - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: When the marble gets knocked out of Spinelli's hands and it falls into the drain, the marble approaches the hole to the very left of the drain, but in the next shot, it falls into the hole right next to it.

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.
