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.

Show generally

Other mistake: On the exterior front shots of the house you see the front door with three vertical windows. But on the interior shots it is just one window.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In front shots of the house you see that the garage is in the front and opens to the street, but the garage door is behind the house entirely. It seems to open in a back alley or private entrance way. The way it is shown in establishing shots, it can not be open to the front street at the front of the house.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In many episodes, scenes are shot on the front porch. It is often shown as a large porch that spans a great deal of the front of the house. But shots of the house exterior from a distance show a small set of stairs with very little space near the door. This isn't a porch on the back of the house as it has been shown to only be door to a small yard.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Outside shots of Coopers, upper half of each door has 9 windows. 3 sets of 10 windows on either side of doors. Inside Coopers, main doors are all glass and no windows on either side.

Continuity mistake: In episodes that show the outside of the IPS building, there are some shots that show a pay phone outside of the building, then other shots where the pay phone is missing.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the first shot inside Arthur's house, Carrie and Doug are standing together when Carrie mentions how tough it must be for Arthur. It then cuts to Arthur sitting at the table, with Doug right there sitting beside Arthur. Next shot Doug is still standing with Carrie as she urges Doug to spend some time with Arthur, so this is when Doug walks over to his father-in-law. (00:07:00)

Revealing mistake: When the guys are watching the game in Doug's bedroom, we see a shot of the TV. If you look closely you can see in the reflection that no-one is on the bed. (00:13:00)

Audio problem: While all four guys are on the bed watching the game, Richie's eating a sub so we hear Doug say, "Hey, Richie, come on," but Doug's lips are closed and not moving in this shot. (00:15:10)

Question: Has Carrie's sister, Sara, ever been mentioned again after the first few episodes, and why was she taken off?

Answer: Sara hasn't been mentioned in later episodes, and it suggested in later episodes that she never existed, and that Carrie is an only child. Kevin James stated that the producers couldn't think of an good plots to use with Sara, so they left her out.
