Continuity mistake: The baseballs on the stand move apart when Doug picks up the first ball to win Carrie a frog at the boardwalk. (00:17:24)
Soft Touch - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: When Arthur is trying to get Mickey to take a sip of water, Mickey crosses his arms. When the shot changes back to Mickey, he crosses his arms again. (00:15:30)
Wild Cards - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: When Doug calls Carrie to confess, note the phone cable. The loop changes between several shots from a neat loop to an extremely messy loop. (00:20:30)
Wild Cards - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: When Deacon is sat on the bed with all the poker chips, the position of the chips on the bed is constantly changing between shots. (00:14:00)
Revealing mistake: When Carrie phones Doug at IPS, Doug goes to press the button on the phone for the correct line, but doesn't press any and continues to talk to Carrie. (00:07:40)
Two Thirty - S4-E24
Plot hole: In this episode Arthur scams Deacon and several other parents for phony piano lessons because he doesn't actually know how to play the piano. However, earlier in the series (Art House episode, S1 - E24) we learn that Arthur can play the piano when he temporarily moves out and after his house warming party Doug says to Carrie, "Who knew Arthur could play the piano like that?"
Continuity mistake: When Doug, Carrie, Deacon and Kelly are looking at the damage caused by the accident, the same kid in the black and red hat checking his watch walks by twice. (00:05:10)
Other mistake: Spence eats some peanut M&M's despite being allergic to peanuts. (00:01:40)
Suggested correction: This episode was very early in the series, before knowing any history of the characters. Spence's peanut allergy came up in much later episodes. It is possible that he developed the allergy later.
It was stated that he had the allergy as a child.
Revealing mistake: When Deacon tries the doors on the van, the wall moves, revealing it's not a van but a set. (00:08:30)
Continuity mistake: In this flashback episode, when Doug is shaving his mustache and talking to Deacon by his locker at IPS, Danny Heffernan's name can be seen on a locker. At this time, Danny was not working at IPS.
Frozen Pop - S2-E15
Visible crew/equipment: At the very beginning, when Carrie walks in, a boom mic is visible above her. It then quickly moves out of shot. (00:00:05)
Continuity mistake: When Doug sits down to read his book, he has his book on his tray. This then disappears as the shot changes. (00:11:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Arthur is on the phone with PBS to complain about getting a "Civil War Series" box set, the actual set of tapes changes drastically. When it's on the table and when Carrie brings it over to the counter its a pretty large, has an American flag motif, and says "Civil War" across the top. When it cuts back to it sitting on the counter its a much smaller box with a plain design and says "The Great War" along the bottom. It's obviously a different set, not just the camera angle. (00:14:40)
Revealing mistake: In the final scene, Carrie starts to kiss Doug and pushes him onto the bed. The camera angle switches from what would be outside the window to beside the bed. The scene was done in one take from 3 camera angles. As the camera pans left you can see the center window is completely open because they had just pulled the camera out of it and didn't get it closed yet, and you can watch the window be closed by an invisible hand from underneath. (00:28:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug is working at Cooper's, and goes to get the ladies beer nuts, the camera pans to the left, and a 2nd camera (which is used on the following shot of Doug) is visible on the left side of the screen.
Soft Touch - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Carrie is trying to park the car she's wearing a 3/4 sleeve blue top in the closeups, but in the overhead shot of the car for the last attempt when Carrie says that she's cutting it, the driver is not wearing that blue top, the driver is wearing a plaid shirt. (00:01:00)
Other mistake: In outside shots the front door is on the extreme right. Shots from inside the house show the living room on the left and the door in a central position.
