Deliberate mistake: When Frank tosses the cards in the end they all hit the camera very obviously. When the episode first aired the last scene was in 3D, which is why he tosses them directly at the camera like that.
Step by Step (1991)
1 deliberate mistake in How the West Was Won - chronological order
Starring: Patrick Duffy, Brandon Call, Suzanne Somers, Staci Keanan
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: The layout of Frank and Carol's house is inconsistent with the exterior shots. The driveway as seen from their backyard is more shallow and narrow than what is shown in the exterior shots, and the stairway to the left of their front door has a window halfway up, but the exterior shot shows a low section of roof that would completely obscure any window.
Jean-Luc: What do you think?
Carol Foster Lambert: I think you look like Barbara Eden from "I Dream Of Jeannie."
Jean-Luc: Well, I think you look like Crissy from "Three's Company".
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: Who is the brunette kid in the yellow shirt in the beginning? It's supposed to be Marc but it's not.

Answer: From what I've read, the kid in question was the original actor cast to play Mark and was intended be closer in age to Brendan. For whatever reason, they recast the role with Christopher Castile and didn't bother removing the original actor from the beginning of the opening credits. I guess they figured people would just assume the kid was one of Brendan's friends.
