How to Succeed in Business? - S4-E19

Plot hole: At one point Peter admits to Greg he was fired. In a later scene, Peter tries to talk the parents out of going to the bike shop (where they think Peter still works), and soon after the parents ride new bikes and see Peter in the park and admit to him that his boss told them what happened. Carol said that Greg filled them in as well. This is incorrect because before leaving the house, they didn't know of the firing, and went straight from the bike shop to the park. Greg never told them.

Suggested correction: Just because we didn't see it on camera doesn't mean it didn't happen, it's known as "implied action."

That's not really the case here... the sequence of events explain it all. It went from going to the bike shop to find out what happened to the park. Even if they went home in-between, there would still not be a reason to have to question Greg, since they know what has happened at this point.

To build on the implied action point that the user stated, we do not know what happened off-screen so it's not impossible to believe that Mike and Carol went home after learning about what happened from the boss to talk to Peter and then have Greg explain where he may be and why. Peter did tell Greg about feeding the pigeons in the park so it tracks.

Bobby Brady: Mom always says not to play ball in the house.

54-40 and Fight - S1-E15

Question: Would someone please explain to me why Marcia did not just simply remove her dangly bracelet that endangered the girls standing in the house of cards competition after Carol said "Oh Marcia, Marcia, your bracelet"? It would have made it less stressful on her not to mention her team, and she wouldn't have had to restrain it with her other hand.

Answer: The dangling bracelet was used for dramatic purposes - to keep the audience on edge.

Answer: There were several episodes throughout the run of the show where Marcia was infatuated with a guy she went to school with. This bracelet could have been a gift from her then-boyfriend; as such, she would not want to take it off, as a sign of loyalty. A stupid thing to do, of course, but it's not a mistake for a character simply to be dumb.
