Frozen Pop - S2-E15

Other mistake: When Arthur decides to sleep upstairs instead of downstairs, he brings along a can of beans for a snack. It then cuts to an exterior street shot, which should be somewhere in Queens where the Heffernans live, but instead it's a shot of the corner at 14 Ave and 73 St in Brooklyn (some areas of Brooklyn and Queens may appear similar). Next shot is inside the Heffernan house in Queens. (00:11:45)

Super Grover

Wild Cards - S2-E20

Factual error: Deacon is holding an In-N-Out drink cup. In-N-Out is a burger chain only located on the West Coast of the United States. (00:02:00)

Doug Out - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Doug and the rest are at a ballgame, the man sitting behind them is eating a hot dog. Actually he's pretending to eat, it never shows any bite marks and the guy is pretending to chew it.

The Shmenkmans - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: Near the end when the Heffernans, Palmers, and "Shmenkmans" are having dinner and are in conversation, Carrie is shown sitting extremely close to Abby, who is on Carrie's left. But in shots in the middle of the conversation, there is significant empty space to Carrie's left.

Female Problems - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: During the scene when Doug is "out with the boys" driving in Spence's car, you can tell they are actually in a studio using a green-screen because the stage lights reflecting off the car don't move. (00:36:00 - 00:36:35)

Female Problems - S2-E2

Party Favor - S2-E13
