The Cincinnati Kids - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: Mike has just pulled into the driveway and honked, as the family waits excitedly for him to come in and share his great news. Then, a second later, he's coming around the counter to greet everyone, instead of a car door or patio shutting.

Out of This World - S5-E16

Other mistake: Near the end, when the police chief "sees" the fake UFO, he picks up the phone and dials 3 numbers and immediately speaks to said caller instead of the operator or asking for an extension.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Maybe he dialled 911 as an emergency. He even told the person on the phone to "alert the defence command immediately" (or something like that).

Two Petes in a Pod - S5-E18

Audio problem: Many times throughout this episode, the actors' voices echo, especially when Mike yells out to Peter (and vice versa) from different rooms.

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.
