Move Doubt - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode when Doug and Carrie are at Deacon and Kelly's apartment, you can see a picture on the wall in the hallway behind them. Then when Doug and Carrie leave, the wall is much further back and there's a window and plant instead of the picture on the wall. (00:19:40 - 00:20:45)

The Minister

G'Night, Stalker - S8-E9

Plot hole: Spence comes in with a pizza and says, "Let's hit this pizza hard and get out of here." But then later we find out there's a laptop in the pizza box. What if the guys actually wanted a slice? Also, after the guys leave for the movies, Carrie or Arthur would've seen the laptop in the pizza box. (00:05:35 - 00:06:55)

The Minister

G'Night, Stalker - S8-E9

Revealing mistake: In the kitchen, Deacon asks Doug, "Are we gunna play basketball or what?" while leaning against the counter. In this shot you can see the kitchen wall is on an angle slanting away from the camera. This makes the kitchen look bigger and cuts down on the empty stage space on the wall where the cameras are. (00:07:00)

The Minister

Four Play - S8-E20

Continuity mistake: When Doug and Carrie are in the living room talking about Doug not going out with Kelly again, he has the phone in his hand, gets upset and throws the phone down. Then Carrie is going to call Kelly for Doug, and when she goes to pick up the phone, it's placed perfectly back on the hook when it should be hanging near the floor from the way Doug threw it.

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know if Carrie and Doug had a baby on the show? And also was it just me, or was Carrie pregnant in real life in one season, and they did not write it into the show, or did she just gain a lot of weight?

Answer: To answer the question directly. Carrie and Doug do not have a biological child during the show's main run. In season 3 or 4 finale (cant remember which) Carrie has a miscarriage. Later on in the show they find out Carrie has 1 working ovary. Thus reducing the chance of them conceiving. By the final season, they couple agree to adopt from China and go to collect their child in the show's final episode. While on the flight back from China it's revealed that Carrie is once again pregnant. However the last scene of the show is a flash forward showing that Carrie goes full term with that child and they are struggling with both kids.

Answer: Leah Remini was not pregnant in real life at the time of the series finale in 2007. Her daughter was born in summer 2004 and it was obvious she gained weight and wore larger clothes during that season. So no, her real pregnancy was not written into the show.

Answer: They did have a baby in the series finale. They actually adopted a baby from China, and then at the same time they found out she was pregnant. She was pregnant in real life, but they just covered her up, as much as they could, during the filming of the show.
