Movie Show - S7-E21

Revealing mistake: When everyone is standing at the snack bar eating all the food you can plainly see all the candy boxes are empty and already open even though they were sealed when the cashier put them on the counter.

Tis Time to Smell the Roses - S7-E23

Other mistake: When Al talks about the man who bought the shoe store he wanted to buy, he says the same guy bought the store he used to work at and got his old job back. However, Gary is a woman who owned the store before this episode and again afterwards for the remaining episodes. So it couldn't have been bought by a man because Gary the woman still owns it.

Old Insurance Dodge - S7-E24

Continuity mistake: The stolen Dodge is a 1974 model. Peggy tells Kelly that she was conceived in it. However, the episode "Christmas" (Season 7, Episode 12) has a flashback to Christmas 1974, showing both Kelly and Bud. Kelly's height had been marked on a door since 1972.

Old Insurance Dodge - S7-E24

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the Bundys are riding around the city in their loaner Lincoln Town Car, you can see an unlit Klieg light on top of one of the buildings revealing that one of their rare outdoor locations is actually on the back lot.

The Proposition - S7-E26

Other mistake: Al eats a slice of pizza. But if you look in the box there's a small piece taken from the center of the pizza. He picked up a full size slice with crust.

Banking on Marcy - S8-E5

Other mistake: Peg reads from a headline saying "[Marcy] announces NBC fall schedule, people still disappointed." But the text below it reads "State officials..." showing the text doesn't belong with that headline. Also when you see each headline the article is the same for each one.

Take My Wife, Please - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Al comes home, he finds a written message from Peg saying that she, Kelly and Bud are at Marcy's house performing the Village People. However, Peggy couldn't have written the message because when they agreed to play the Village People, they went over to Marcy's immediately. (00:04:50 - 00:06:10)

NO MA'AM - S8-E9

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the episode you can actually see a crew member at the door waiting for his cue to throw the tumble weed through the door.

Sofa So Good - S8-E14

Revealing mistake: When Kelly is at the house of the crazy guy who made the couch, when they drink the cappuccino and he throws the cup, it's clear that the cups are just props as the drink stays in when it falls towards the camera.

Field of Screams - S8-E19

Continuity mistake: When the chain is cut with Marcy by Al to release him from the pole, later in the newscast in the background they are showing the cut chain. When on the news, it shows the chain was cut about a foot from the goal post. However when you watch the guy cut the chain for real, he cuts it flush with the pole.

Nooner or Nothing - S8-E21

Other mistake: The guys push Bud out of the line and to the back. When they do that, there is a guy with a black and yellow jersey on with the number 25 in it. There were more guys behind him in the line. A little later, Kelly returns to the line where Bud is. All a sudden that guy with the black and yellow jersey with the number 25 is the person right in front of Bud.

The Legend of Ironhead Haynes - S8-E23

Other mistake: A lady comes in the shoe store and asks for a shoe in a certain size. She tells Al to hurry because she doesn't have much time. Al goes in the back to get her shoes. She sits there for 6 seconds then leaves. Why bother going to get shoes?

Shoeway to Heaven - S9-E1

Plot hole: When Dominique is on TV, she says she got the shoes from Al's store. Then the Amish guy comes out to confirm she broke her leg from the shoe he made. Al says yes. She got the shoes way before Al knew he had no more shoes and before they even hired the Amish guy. How can she break her leg from his shoe if he wasn't hired and making them yet?

Driving Mr. Boondy - S9-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Al gets up to answer the phone near the start of the episode, a microphone can be seen above his head which then moves out of shot. More easily noticed if the episode is watched on a widescreen TV. (00:03:55)

Kelly Breaks Out - S9-E3

Revealing mistake: Kelly lost all her hair as a side effect from pimple potion. You can see the lines on her forehead that show she's wearing a flesh piece covering her hair to make her look bald. The color is lighter than her face. (00:18:42)

Naughty but Niece - S9-E4

Continuity mistake: Marcy's niece asks Bud to take a shower so she can get out of her sticky clothes. Next scene, she's sitting on the couch with a towel on her head. She talks to Bud awhile then gets up and leaves. Shes wearing the same "sticky" clothes and she takes the towel off her head, and her hair is completely dry.

The Mystery of Skull Island - S6-E14

Al Bundy: "I Care", by Al Bundy. When hooters jiggle around and I find nickels on the ground, I care. When a Mustang engine purrs and the bathroom is not hers, I care. When the pitchers on the mound and the wife is underground, I care. But when I've been playing this for days, I will kill anyone who stays, I SWEAR!

More quotes from Married... with Children

No Pot to Pease In - S9-E9

Trivia: When Al asks Marcy why the show "No Pot to Pease In" was cancelled, she responds that a woman in Michigan didn't like it. In Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a woman named Terry Rakolta started a boycott after watching the episode "Her Cups Runneth Over." The intent was to get Married...With Children taken off the air. Her boycott had the reverse effect as many people started tuning into the show to see why she was boycotting it. Because of this, ratings actually soared and got more viewers.
