Other mistake: The interior of the house (excluding the first season), has a door from the kitchen leading outside not far from the front door on the same side of the house and no windows facing that direction, but from the exterior of the house always shown, there is no 2nd door by the front door. Instead, a large window is shown where the kitchen door should be.

Visible crew/equipment: When Don comes into the garage to apply for the job, the T-mark can be seen on the floor by Fonzie's feet.
Richie Cunningham: So how did you do on that social studies test?
Potsie Weber: I missed that question on Alaska. I hear they want to make it a state now.
Richie Cunningham: That'll never happen.
Trivia: Richie and Joanie had an older brother named Chuck, who was played by two different actors, and who only appeared during the first season of the show, because the character of Chuck was written off the show. This plot plot has since absorbed into popular culture: known as "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome," it refers to a character's (either leading or supporting) unexplained disappearance from a series.
Question: In season one, whatever happened to Chuck Cunningham? He was only in a few episodes.
