Married... with Children

The Agony of Defeet - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: When Kelly enjoys her triumph at the middle of the stairs you can see a shadow on the wall right from her - obviously Al stands behind the wall waiting for his cue. (00:19:00)

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.

You Better Shop Around (2) - S5-E22

Plot hole: The supermarket director orders the photographer to take a photo of Al's special shopping cart. Then he turns around a little towards the cart. When the camera flashes, his right shoulder has to be in the whole left side of that picture. (00:07:50)

Breaking up is Easy to Do (2) - S11-E15

Continuity mistake: Before the dinner date, Peggy takes a plate of raw meat out of the dishwasher. Bud and Kelly go to help her put it on the stove, but Peggy's plate is now empty and the meat is on another plate already on the stove. Yet strangely, Bud and Kelly take the empty plate from her anyway and put it on the stove next to the other one.

And Baby Makes Money - S5-E11

Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning of the Last Will reading we see that there's no-one sitting left to the female notary. But in the close-ups there is a small round silver-shining object at the right edge of the picture - left from her. Must be some equipment. (00:04:20)

Al Bundy, Shoe Dick - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: When Al Bundy drops the stiletto shoe into the fish tank, he reaches down into the tank to get it and his sleeve and hand are dry as he shows the shoe. Also, hardly any water drips off the shoe. (00:17:00)

Live Nude Peg - S11-E17

Continuity mistake: In one of the scenes where Bud is forcing Kelly to eat, he tries to feed her cheese whiz but she resists and some of it gets on the side of her mouth. In the very next shot, when Peg runs in, the cheese is no longer on the side of Kelly's mouth.

The House That Peg Lost - S3-E16

Plot hole: Marcy and Steve live on the left-hand side of Al and Peg yet when they come home and see their house is gone Peg is looking out the window in the front door saying they're looking at the hole now they're looking over here.

Poppy's By the Tree (1) - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When Al, Peg, and the kids get to their room, notice the "hole" in the blanket on the bed. It's there the entire episode so at the end, the killer can shove the machete up through it.

Buck Saves the Day - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: Al takes the kids camping. When he leaves the house, his shirt is light blue. When he comes out from the bushes in the woods, it's dark blue with red stripes.

He Thought He Could - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: At the start of the episode, Peg is making popcorn on the stove. It's making a sizzling sound like she's really popping it but the burner isn't even on.

Show generally

Other mistake: Al's and Peggy's birthdates are around 1948/1950, respectively. Supposedly, Al married Peggy after she got pregnant the day of his 4 touchdowns in high school in 1966. How could Kelly have been born in 1971?

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!

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.

Answer: It was one of the hoses connected to the engine, nothing specific, but to indicate that Al tampered with the vehicle.
