Head First - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Doug and Deacon are having breakfast in the kitchen, the door keeps changing from open to closed with no-one touching it. (00:08:30)
Head First - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: During the poker game, Arthur teases Spence because he's a virgin, which is mentioned later when Doug tells Cariie, "He teased him about the virgin thing." But in one of the later episodes, it is mentioned that Spence had an affair and had sex with his Home Economics teacher when he was very young and had long hair.
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, while Doug and Carrie are in the jewelry store, in the shot of Doug swinging the shopping bags at the overhead surveillance camera, we can see a production camera at the left side of the screen. Then in the next shot, from the POV of the surveillance camera, the edge of the store's set is visible at the right side of the screen. (00:02:05)
Visible crew/equipment: During the driving scene at 00:07:35 you can see a stage wall on the set to the right when the lights pass over the car. (00:07:35)
Revealing mistake: When they first drive to their class, we see the street lights behind them. When Carrie pulls over to pick up Spence, she turns the steering wheel, but the lights in the back don't turn. (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: During both driving scenes, the street lights in the background do not fade away in the distance to indicate they are actually driving forward. When Doug, Carrie and Arthur are pulled over waiting for Spence (and again when waiting for Arthur at Dairy Queen), lights scroll over the car and the sound of a passing vehicle can be heard but no car is seen to pass by or drive away in the distance. (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: In the first classroom scene there are two people sat to Doug's right. These people then vanish a few seconds later. (00:07:55)
Continuity mistake: When Doug falls off his chair his right arm is on the floor in one shot and on the desk part of the chair in the next. (00:09:10)
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)
Visible crew/equipment: When speaking to Doug about the book, a crew member is reflected in the window. (00:19:35)
Continuity mistake: In this episode, when Doug and Carrie are taking an adult literature class together, Doug comes down the stairs with his book in his hand, but when he sits on the couch he only has his book pillow and reading lamp, and runs back upstairs to get his book.
Road Rayge - S1-E9
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug's paper gets ripped up, look at Ray and Doug's feet. A blue and white tape marker is visible by each of them. (00:06:10)
Road Rayge - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: When trying to get Doug to drive after the Jets' game, Ray's press pass goes from white to green instantly. (00:09:20)
Road Rayge - S1-E9
Visible crew/equipment: As Doug takes Ray's keys, the film crew and equipment are reflected in the wing mirror. (00:09:50)
Road Rayge - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: When driving Doug home, look out the back window to see 2 red car lights appear instantly and out of nowhere. (00:12:20)
Road Rayge - S1-E9
Audio problem: Doug gets his license back and gets into his car. We hear the engine start, but his hands are seen on screen at the time. (00:20:00)
Revealing mistake: As Carrie skids into the parking spot at the start, skid marks are visible on the floor from previous takes. (00:00:30)
Suggested correction: Spence did have sex with the teacher, but the episode with the teasing at the poker game, Arthur and the guys don't know about her yet. Therefore, to their knowledge, Spence is a virgin, and for some reason, he decides not to defend himself with the teacher story.
The episode with them playing cards wasn't the only season 1 episode where Spence's virginity had come up. In season 1, episode 12, Carrie fixes Spence up with a coworker. When Richie and Doug tease him that they've already been together a month without sex they say: "Do you believe this guy?" "A month, huh?" Spence replies: "Yes a month! A month is not that long not to have had sex." To which Doug says: "Yeah, but if you add in the other 31 years, I'd think you'd be a little antsy." Also a little later in the conversation, when Doug tries to convince Spence that he and the girl have sex in his garage: "I'm just saying, if you wait too long, this opportunity could go bye-bye. Then it could be, hey, another 31 years before this opportunity comes again. It's pretty tough losing your virginity when you're 62." So Spence later already having lost his virginity in high school is a continuity error that they just overlooked and alas instances like these become apparent pretty often when you rewatch the show (like Carrie becoming an only Child, Arthur being said to be a great piano player in a season 1 episode while he can't play a single tune in a later season etc., etc).
Suggested correction: Spence was embarrassed about sleeping with the Home Ec. Teacher - which is why, in the high school reunion episode, he claims that he actually slept with his Spanish teacher. He also never called the Home Ec. Teacher after their "fling." Apparently he prefers to let the guys think he is a virgin.
