Strike One - S3-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When Doug is listing all the extras for the truck, you can see tape markers on the floor behind them. Specifically, one in between the feet of an extra that is standing behind them. (00:08:50)

Strike One - S3-E5

Revealing mistake: In the kitchen, when Doug tells Carrie he knows the strike will end in 1 or 2 weeks tops because he's a Union Member, the blue shelves/cabinet on the wall behind Doug are positioned properly. Then, when Carrie asks him what the strike issues are, watch as the blue shelves move sideways behind Doug (this wall with blue shelves/cabinet is hinged to provide camera access). (00:13:00)

Strike One - S3-E5

Other mistake: When Carrie yells at Doug for ruining the bathroom, she yells when she is at the top of the staircase, and we can still see her legs. There is no way she could see the problems in the bathtub from there. (00:15:20)

Strike One - S3-E5

Visible crew/equipment: After Carrie discovers she can't take a shower because Doug ripped out the shower tiles, when she walks out of the bathroom keep your eye on the window at the right. Just as Doug lifts the hammer a crew member is visible in the bathroom's window (it's not Doug's reflection). (00:17:15)
