Revealing mistake: Millie (in Rob's dream) tells Jerry (Doc) that "Big Bad Brady is already dead" yet we see that Brady is up there trying to not move, laugh or breathe. He's still alive if his stomach is still going and moving the whole time. Also when he aims his pistol at Rob, he's aiming it at Rob's hat. Not at Rob's arm. Which is where Rob said he got "shot".

It May Look Like a Walnut! - S2-E20
Character mistake: Rob is having a nightmare, part of which involves the disappearance of his thumbs. When he finds Laura at home, the script calls for him to say, "I want you to help me get my thumbs back," but he actually says, "I want you to help me get my thumb backs." His thumbs are also still there but hidden (you can see a portion of them in one frame of the episode).
Rob Petrie: At least I'll prove one thing tonight: Television writers marry the prettiest girls.
Harrison B. Harding of Camp Crowder, Mo. - S1-E6
Trivia: Rob tells the police over the phone "Get a prowl car to 148 Bonny Medow Road." 148 was also Dick Van Dyke's weight during the TV series.
