So Help Me God - July 29, 1957 - S2-E9
Factual error: At one point when Sam is visiting Delilah in the courthouse he is hugging her and the Sheriff guarding the door comes in and sees them. As the sheriff is leaving, he has a patch on his arm that says "County Sheriff." As this episode took place in Louisiana, there would only be Parish Sheriffs, not a County Sheriff.
Catch A Falling Star - May 21, 1979 - S2-E10
Character mistake: In the preview for this episode, Charlie has trouble getting his countdown straight. He shouts that Sam is on in 50 seconds, then 47, then 48. In the episode itself, the mistake is corrected with a rather obvious overdub, changing the final number to 43. (00:02:05)
Catch A Falling Star - May 21, 1979 - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: As Sam is preparing to go on stage as Don Quixote, after catching the lead actor, a quick cut to Dulcinea dancing is shown. It is supposed to be Sam's love interest and ex piano teacher Nicole as Dulcinea. However, you can see Nicole standing in the background, in the pink outfit she was wearing in scenes from the beginning of the episode. (00:41:55)
Catch A Falling Star - May 21, 1979 - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: The makeup lady puts a moustache on Sam right after he leaps into the man. A stagehand bursts in, telling him it is time to go on. The moustache is now gone, and the makeup lady puts it back on Sam's face.
Catch A Falling Star - May 21, 1979 - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When Sam is going on stage near the beginning, another guy peels off his moustache and says "imposter." The problem is, the makeup lady already removed his moustache earlier in the episode.
A Portrait for Troian - February 7, 1971 - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: When she's confronting her brother on the dock, Troian's long hair shifts from being completely behind her back to falling over her shoulders in front with each change of camera angle. (00:35:00)
A Portrait for Troian - February 7, 1971 - S2-E11
Revealing mistake: When the recovered drowning victims are lying on the ground, Troian's supposedly dead husband moves his feet. (00:39:25)
A Portrait for Troian - February 7, 1971 - S2-E11
Factual error: When the second earthquake happens, certainly we would see evidence of the water shaking but the water is calm. In a real earthquake, the water would be sloshing around.
A Portrait for Troian - February 7, 1971 - S2-E11
Audio problem: Near the beginning in the tomb, a woman says "he's been dead for three years." Her mouth doesn't match what she is saying.
Animal Frat - October 19, 1967 - S2-E12
Factual error: When Sam is in the library, there are multiple book titles visible that were published after the show's date of 1967. The clearest is when Sam and Duck tussle, the book "Men How To Understand Your Symptoms" falls on Sam - this book was first published in 1986. (00:29:00)
Animal Frat - October 19, 1967 - S2-E12
Revealing mistake: When Sam and Al are walking and talking, just after Scooter (being chased by the dog) throws Sam the dean's prized basketball, Al's shadow is visible on the ground, though as a hologram he doesn't actually have one.
Animal Frat - October 19, 1967 - S2-E12
Audio problem: A dog runs by Sam chasing one of the frat pledges. It's barking according to the audio, however the dog does not bark.
Another Mother - September 30, 1981 - S2-E13
Factual error: When the boys are talking to Jackie to get her to cooperate with their plan, the song Shake It Up by The Cars is playing, except the show is set at September 30, 1981, and the song was released in November 1981. And it wasn't a pre-release demo version on the radio since the song was still being mixed at Syncro Sound Studios in early October. (00:23:00)
Another Mother - September 30, 1981 - S2-E13
Plot hole: Sam wallops both kidnappers and rescues the son. They then leave the two child molesters unconscious beside their van. No one calls the police or has them arrested, so they're free to kidnap another kid. Sam doesn't leap until after an epilogue in which the loose ends are supposed to be resolved - but this question is left unanswered. It's not excused by a "just because we didn't see it happen doesn't mean it didn't" defense. The viewers shouldn't be left with a dangling plot hole, and one line could have cured this one.
Another Mother - September 30, 1981 - S2-E13
Revealing mistake: When Sam and Al are in the station wagon pursuing the van, both Sam and Al's reflections are visible on the wagon's front hood. Al, as a hologram, shouldn't have one and Sam's reflection should be as Kevin's mom.
Another Mother - September 30, 1981 - S2-E13
Visible crew/equipment: After going to get pizza, Sam and the kids return home. As they pull in the driveway a long boom mike is visible in the back car window.
Another Mother - September 30, 1981 - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: When Sam uses martial arts against the men from the van, one of them pulls a knife as he kneels on his right knee in the close-up, but next shot he is kneeling on his left knee.
Another Mother - September 30, 1981 - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: When one of the sicko men from the van pulls a knife on Sam, the white blouse is either tucked into the skirt or hangs over it, depending on the shot.
All Americans - November 6, 1962 - S2-E14
Audio problem: During the speech where Al tells Sam to quit (to force Chewie to play), Sam says he can't quit but his mouth doesn't move for a couple seconds after the words start playing.
All Americans - November 6, 1962 - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: When Sam and Ruben are fighting in the locker room they knock over a set of lockers (and only one set) and the door flies open on it. When they roll over the set of lockers the camera cuts and 2 sets of lockers are suddenly knocked down with all locker doors closed.
Answer: He means he's there to prevent there ever being the need for a shotgun wedding-that is, to stop the affair before there is a possibility of the girl getting pregnant.

Which would erase the child from history. That's my point.

Not if there was never any pregnancy to begin with. There was only the chance of one.
