King Pong - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: During Doug's victory dance, he puts the paddle on the table, but it bounces. In every other shot you can't see the paddle anywhere - not on the floor or the table. By the way he put it down you should be able to see it. (00:14:35)

Cheap Saks - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: Near the end of this episode, after Trish Flintoff leaves, Doug is telling Carrie and Holly that she's a nice person. Doug is looking at Carrie, then the shot changes and he is immediately looking down and reaching towards his back pocket. It also looks like he's trying not to laugh. (00:19:35)

The Minister

Precedent Nixin' - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Doug's father is shutting off the alarm, he does not enter 2965. We know this is the proper code, because it is Doug's birthday, and it worked when he entered it. It looks like he maybe enters 1459.

Foe: Pa - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: Carrie says that she "didn't go" to college because Arthur felt that she would be abandoning him. He points out that her mother had just died. According to the episode "Class Struggle" (Season Two), Carrie actually went to college and then her mother died, causing her to drop out. In that episode, she wants to "go back" to college.

Tank Heaven - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Danny has just taken the "nucleus" nacho chip, after Carrie walks in, the chip in Danny's hand keeps changing between shots, then disappears altogether almost instantly and his arms are folded when he begins his next line. (00:02:30 - 00:03:25)

The Minister

Two Thirty - S4-E24

Plot hole: In this episode Arthur scams Deacon and several other parents for phony piano lessons because he doesn't actually know how to play the piano. However, earlier in the series (Art House episode, S1 - E24) we learn that Arthur can play the piano when he temporarily moves out and after his house warming party Doug says to Carrie, "Who knew Arthur could play the piano like that?"

Answer: Sara hasn't been mentioned in later episodes, and it suggested in later episodes that she never existed, and that Carrie is an only child. Kevin James stated that the producers couldn't think of an good plots to use with Sara, so they left her out.
