Video Mania - S3-E6
Plot hole: The plot for this episode is that Mark reluctantly tries out video games for the first time and soon becomes addicted to them. However, the season 1 episode "All in the Family" showed him to already be an avid gamer.

1 plot hole in Video Mania - chronological order
Starring: Patrick Duffy, Brandon Call, Suzanne Somers, Staci Keanan
Genres: Comedy
Deliberate mistake: Lily was an infant for all of season 5, but beginning with this season, she is around 5 years old. The show didn't jump forward in time, because JT states in a season 5 episode that he is 19, and in the episode this season where he and Rich go to Mexico, he states that he is almost 20, as well as Al and Mark are both still in high school.
Cody Lambert: Woah! A Canadian penny! Now I can buy bubble gum! That is, if I go to Canadia.
Trivia: Brandon Call's mom did not allow the hair and makeup department to style his hair for each episode. She insisted on doing it herself.
Question: Did they ever explain what happened to Brendan, who was missing this season?

Answer: According to the SBS website, Brendan's disappearance was never really explained. He just kind of faded out. He was hired as the cute "little" one and as he got older he wasn't as cute. When the Lamberts had the little girl, they got their cuteness factor back and didn't need as many kids around.
Carol and Frank continued to tell people they had seven children throughout the remainder of the show's run, but they never referred to Brendan after season 6.
