Suggested correction: Not really, the shot where the tree can be seen is viewed from the front so the tree is actually behind the porta-potty to the left. The view to the cars is directly looking left.

Mama Cast - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When Doug jumps out of the porta-potty before the rival ice-cream truck smashes through it, the door is open and Doug immediately lands on the ground; but when the shot changes, the porta-potty door is closed and we can't see Doug rolling onto the ground. Also, when the truck smashes into the porta-potty, liquid splashes everywhere; but when we see Doug in the next shot he is dry and no liquid on the ground around him. (00:12:55)

Affair Trade - S9-E2

Continuity mistake: When Doug and Jessica run into Carrie in the parking lot at the Dr. Heffernan office, there is a man walking up from behind them with grey hair. In the next shot he instantly appears beside them unrealistically fast. (00:19:20)
