Never Bathe on Saturday - S4-E27

Other mistake: When Laura is stuck in the bathtub, she tells Rob "there's a full length mirror on the back of the door" Rob runs full speed right into the door with his shoulder. Yet with his weight, height, BMI he would have immediately knocked the mirror off the door the 1st hit, not after the 3rd time when Rob put his elbow on the door. Also the mirror wouldn't have taken 9 seconds to finally fall with the height of the door. (00:17:34 - 00:18:26)

Never Bathe on Saturday - S4-E27

Other mistake: When Laura is in the bathtub you do not hear the water running, or the water draining from the tub. Also, Laura's foot size (a size 6-7 same size as my foot size) would be too small to get stuck in the faucet. Also, when Laura and Rob are at their house if Laura's big toe was actually stuck in the faucet her toe would have been hurting bad enough to not put her shoe back on, but both shoes were on.

Season 4 generally

Trivia: During the fourth season, actress Rose Marie suffered the tragic loss of her husband to whom she had been married for 20 years. Amidst her mourning, Marie felt that the grief and pain of loss was too much to bear and wanted to leave the show entirely, just before the fifth and final season. John Rich, one of the show's directors, was there to console her and convince her to come back and finish out the remainder of the show.
