Richie's Song - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Carrie holds the paper towels, the kitchen's curtains over the sink are normal, the window is closed and the blinds are down. However, next shot the blinds are up, the double-hung window is oddly open outward sideways, and the curtain is pulled back with a large clamp. Then it's all back to the normal previous way.

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)

Pilot - S1-E1

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)

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: While Doug is driving the IPS truck he stops in traffic, and then Arthur pulls up alongside. Watch the reflection in the truck's side mirror, because we can see crew members pushing Arthur's car as he takes off. (00:19:10)

Train Wreck - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: Shari from ISP radios Doug about the rush order pickup at 1202 Stratford, so Doug pulls over and soon Carrie pulls him to the back of the truck. Cut to exterior shot of the truck, and the street sign reads "Lafayette, Culver City" which reveals the California location. The truck is parked on Culver Blvd, corner of Lafayette, in front of the well known Washington Building (awnings are now black), which is located a few blocks up from Sony Pictures Studios where King of Queens was filmed.
