Continuity mistake: At the start there are 2 letters on the table in front of Arthur. When Doug rings for the 3rd time they have disappeared. (00:00:50)
Continuity mistake: When Arthur walks into the kitchen at the start and picks up the phone, the door is closing. The camera cuts to Doug at IPS, then back to Arthur and the door is still at the same point of closing. (00:00:55)
Audio problem: When Carrie taps Doug's chest and says to go and change, the sound of the taps is out of synch with the motion. Most noticeable with tap 3. (00:02:40)
Continuity mistake: When Kelly says to Deacon "Maybe it's 'cause you're walking late all the time" she has her mug up in the air, camera cuts and it's down on the table. (00:06:25)

Visible crew/equipment: When Doug is outside talking to Deacon and Arthur opens the kitchen door, as the door swings back you can see all the set lights reflected in the glass. (00:08:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Carrie come out into the back garden to speak to Doug and Deacon, a boom mic drops into shot very briefly. (00:08:55)
Continuity mistake: This is a very tricky one to spot as it happens as the shot is fading into black to a scene change but it is noticeable without the use of pause and/or slow motion. When Doug and Deacon are outside talking, Carrie comes out and then proceeds to walk back in and and audibly shut the back door. However as Doug and Deacon walk back in as the shot is fading away, the door is wide open. (00:09:30)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug tells Carrie "eyes off" someone can be seen moving on the stairs behind them due to a foot appearing in shot and shadows moving. However no-one else is at home other than Doug and Carrie. (00:10:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Deacon shows up with no shoes he steps inside the house and there is a white tape marker visible where he stops. (00:15:20)

Inner Tube - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: At the start at IPS, Doug's tie is looped over itself twice. Camera cuts and now it's not looped at all. (00:02:30)
Visible crew/equipment: When we first see Doug on a bike in an overhead shot the camera rig is reflected in a car windscreen. (00:17:50)
Factual error: In this episode Doug is denied getting a better route when it's given to the new guy because he's "better looking." As member of a union, Doug most certainly would have been given precedent over any new driver.
Visible crew/equipment: When Carrie gives Doug the card, the top of the set is visible behind them. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: When Carrie turns round and tells Doug that she's telling Kelly about the card, the bottle top on the table is constantly changing position without being touched. (00:11:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug says about Kelly being in the wrong he puts his arm up in the air which shows the top of the set and some equipment. (00:14:00)
Continuity mistake: When Carrie is unpacking the shopping at the start she holds up an empty bag that magically folds itself flat between camera cuts. (00:01:50)
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.
